Joseph Tumminelli

Joseph Tumminelli raised to 35,000 from middle position and Elizabeth Provan called from the small blind.

The flop was 9s3s2h and Provan check-called a bet from Tumminelli.

The turn was the Qh, Provan checked, Tumminelli shoved for 115,000 and Provan called (with exactly the same amount behind).

Tumminelli: AsAc
Provan: 3h3c

Provan was in the lead with a set of threes and held up through the Ks river to eliminate Tumminelli in seventh place.

“It’s my favorite hand,” said Provan afterward.

Elizabeth Provan – 440,000 (44 bb)
Joseph Tumminelli – Eliminated in 7th Place ($2,125)

Lazaro Rodriguez

Picking up the action after the turn of an 8d7h2d4d board with about 70,000 in the pot, Lazaro Rodriguez checked from the small blind and Joseph Tumminelli checked from the big blind. Lisa Teebagy bet 38,000 from the button and only Rodriguez called.

The river was the 3s, Rodriguez checked, Teebagy bet effectively 75,000-ish and Rodriguez called all in with 7d4c for sevens and fours.

Teebagy, though, tabled Qd10d for a queen-high flush to win the pot and eliminate Rodriguez in eighth place.

Lisa Teebagy – 570,000 (57 bb)
Lazaro Rodriguez – Eliminated in 8th Place ($1,870)

Paul Snead Wins Event 26 Outright for $116,245

Paul Snead

Event 26 of the 2019 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown was a $5,000 Eight-Handed NLH (Re-Entry) with a guaranteed prize pool of $200,000. A field of 83 entries nearly doubled that amount, generating a prize pool of $394,250. Earning the outright victory was Paul Snead, winning the first-place prize of $116,245.

“It feels great,” Snead told us afterward. “It’s been a long time coming. I haven’t won first place since 2007, and that was my only win until now.”

This win was certainly a long time coming for Snead, who after his biggest career score in 2008 took time away from the game.

“I took a long time off after the 2008 World Series Main Event (Snead finished in 21st place for $257,334). It really crushed me, and I stopped playing poker for a while,” reminisced Snead of his tough exit in the Main Event, where he was two-outed on the river.

“My brother and I started a business together after, and I didn’t really play poker for about eight years. We sold the business, and now I’m free to do whatever and play poker again.”

Snead’s win today marks his second largest career score, and he believes it’s a sign of things to come.

“I feel like the universe is lining up, finally. I took a lot of bad beats in the past, and it just feels nice to win a race like that in a big spot. I’m just very grateful. I have a lot of support from my family, and they’re going to be thrilled. It just feels great.”

Results:
1st: Paul Snead – $116,245
2nd: George Wolff – $77,500
3rd: Brian Yoon – $52,545
4th: Brent Roberts – $36,955
