The 2015 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open Championship had a deep final table and two of them are back in the ballroom with some nice results since last February.

We found Kelly Minkin and Brian Altman sitting in the 1-seat adjoining tables. Minkin came close to becoming the first open-field WPT champion when she finished third while Altman went on to win the title for over $700,000.

Since that final table, Minkin went on to become to be the “last woman standing” in the 2015 WSOP Main Event, finishing in 29th for more than $200,000.

Altman cashed four time during the 2015 WSOP and is coming off a fourth place finish at the WPT Montreal event.
