Ruslan Dykshteyn

The WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open Championship isn’t only about the big names coming to town for the big tour. We also have our fair share of local regulars grinding alongside world champions with more than a few getting here via the many satellites offered.

Two of them are sitting at adjacent tables and trying to add to their SHRP résumés. Ruslan Dykshteyn won the inaugural Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open $1,100 Big 4 tournament in 2016 a few months after he won the Showdown $1 Million Guarantee Deepstack event.

Melisa Singh can usually be found on the cash game side of the room but she will come out for some of our big events. She picked up her first career tournament win in October when she won our WSOP Circuit series Ladies event.

Both players are working their stacks with Dykshetyn sitting with 43,000 and Singh with 24,000.
