After the elimination of Andy Andrejevic in fourth place, the final three players began negotiations to chop the prizepool among them. These were the approximate chip counts:

Alan Richardson  –  220,000  (18 bb)
Jonah Miller  –  72,000  (6 bb)
Shmuel Zalmanov  –  68,000  (6 bb)

They eventually came to a deal where both of the short stacks would receive $33,000 each (nearly second-place money), while Richardson would win $49,200, along with the title, the Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘n’ Roll Poker Open” trophy, a custom-framed winner’s photo courtesy of Image Masters, and the option of taking a seat in the televised Poker Night in America cash game that is filming this week here at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

Here were the payouts:

1st:  Alan Richardson  –  $49,200
T-2nd:  Jonah Miller  –  $33,000
T-2nd:  Shmuel Zalmanov  –  $33,000

Congratulations to Alan Richardson!
