                                                                                 Sebastian Kos

Event 9 of the 2018 Lucky Hearts Poker Open was a $570 Pot-Limit Omaha (Re-Entry) tournament. A total of 80 entries created a prize pool of $40,000 with the top 10 places being paid.

When the money bubble burst and the final 10 players converged at one table, 2016 Seminole Hard Rock Player of the Year David Prociak was the chip leader. He eliminated four of the first five players to fall at the final table and seemed primed to win his fifth Pot-Limit Omaha title at the Seminole Hard Rock. However, his run came to an abrupt end as he went from chip leader with five players remaining to out in fifth place, opening the door for Sebastian Kos to emerge as the official victor after a four-handed deal was reached.

Kos was third in chips to begin the final table and held steady while Prociak thinned the field. When Prociak’s luck began to change, Kos scored the final blow by eliminating him in fifth place.

With the remaining players all within four big blinds of each other, they agreed to look at the numbers and eventually agreed to a deal.

For Kos, it marks his fourth cash in a major series event at the Seminole Hard Rock and his first trophy. It also bumps him toward the $120,000 mark in career tournament winnings.

A few hands later with the flop reading 5c3s2h, Han was in the tank after Prociak check-raised a covering amount. Han apologized to the table a few times and tanked for about two minutes before he called all in for 109,000 with AhQh6c5d. Prociak was well behind with KhQs6d5s as Han had most of Prociak’s outs. The 7d and 10h river completed the board, and Han won the pot with a pair of fives with the ace kicker.

Not long after, following the river of a Js4s2h9hKs board, Stein was all in for 56,000. Prociak called and Stein showed As10sXxXx, for an ace-high flush. Prociak showed 9s5sXxXx for an inferior flush and mucked, locking up another double for Stein.
