Shortly after Artem Maksimov was eliminated in ninth place for $1,400, Zack Milchman raised to 14,000 from middle position. David Prociak reraised to 25,000 from the hijack, Milchman four-bet shoved for about 29,000, and Prociak called.

Milchman: QsQh6h4s
Prociak: KsKd9c8c

The board came down Kh3s3c4d6d, giving Prociak kings full of threes to eliminate Milchman in eighth place for $1,600.

Following a flop of Jc8d3s, David Prociak checked from middle position and Joseph Irgon bet the pot of 24,500 from the hijack. Prociak called, the 6d turn fell, and Prociak bet the pot of 73,500. Irgon called all in for slightly less.

Prociak: KhKd4d3c
Irgon: Jd10s9h7d

Prociak led with a pair of kings and and held a better flush draw, although Irgon held a wrap and had outs to two pair, too.

The river was the 2h, no help to Irgon, ending his tournament in 10th place.

Event 7: Harry Eisenberg Wins After Four-Way Deal

2018 Lucky Hearts Poker Open
Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino 
Hollywood, Florida
Event 7
$300 H.O.R.S.E. (Re-Entry)
Entries: 86
Prize Pool: $21,930
January 15, 2018

Harry Eisenberg

Event 7 of the 2018 Lucky Hearts Poker Open, a $300 H.O.R.S.E. (Re-Entry), drew 86 entries and generated a prize pool of $21,930. After about 11 hours, a four-handed deal was agreed upon by the final four players. Harry Eisenberg was chip leader at the time, earning him the official victory.

Originally from Wayland, Massaschusetts, Eisenberg now resides in Boca Raton and plays in the big tournament series at the Seminole Hard Rock often. With 11 final tables made here over the years, Eisenberg had been close to victory several times. Despite having three third-place finishes and four runner-up showings, however, that elusive SHRP title evaded him.

That all changed tonight.

“It’s wonderful,” said Eisenberg after the win. “I guess you think it’s never going to happen, then it happens, and it’s like walking on air. It’s like the first time I teed off at Pebble Beach. It’s just a wonderful feeling.”

Eisenberg began the final table third in chips, and steadily rose the ranks to seize the chip lead with six players still in the hunt. Once four players remained, they quickly agreed to a deal and Eisenberg finally had his victory at the Seminole Hard Rock.

“You have to get lucky, but I was happy with how I played. It’s nice to win one.”
