THree-time Seminole Hard Rock tournament champion Evan Teitelbaum

The World Series of Poker brand is one of the strongest in the industry and its presence at the Seminole Hard Rock attracts the area’s most experienced grinders along with South Florida first-timers. Florida’s Evan Teitelbaum goes down as the former while Mark Fink is the latter.

Four-time WSOP Circuit ring winner Mark Fink

Teitelbaum claims three tournament victories at the Seminole Hard Rock including a $153,000 win during the 2015 Lucky Hearts Poker Open. In all, his earnings crack $750,000 over the course of nearly 100 reported cashes.

With $384,000 in reported earnings, Fink’s winnings come up a bit shy of Teitelbaum’s, but he’s one of the Circuit’s most accomplished players owning four gold rings. This mark’s Fink’s first visit to the Seminole Hard Rock and he’s just one tournament win away from joining an elite group of five-time Circuit champions.
