Event 17 of the 2022 Seminole Hard Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open was the Multi-Flight $200 Big Stack No-Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry). Over six starting flights, a field of 1,894 entries generated a prize pool of $303,040. A four-way deal was reached at the final table and Chris Lewis was the chip leader, making him the official winner for $32,400.

Lewis began Day 2 in solid shape, sitting 21st of the remaining 191 players. When the final table was reached, he sat comfortably fourth in chips with 34 big blinds. However, he was in danger of busting in ninth place when he was basically all in ace-queen against ace-king. Fortunately for Lewis, he paired his queen on the flop to win the hand and take the chip lead, which he held for much of the remainder of the tournament.

The victory marked Lewis’ second SHRP major series trophy, his first coming back in 2011 at the WPT Regional Hollywood series in a $125 No-Limit Hold’em event for $12,293.
