On Tuesday, we had four more tournaments on the SHRPO schedule and they all played down to a winner. There was a game for everyone with a Six-Max NLH, Big O, Omaha 8/Stud 8, and Eight-Handed Turbo.
There were three big headlines during the day with Gabriel Ramos winning his fifth SHRP title, Georgii Belianin winning his second of the series, and the Six-Max set a record.
The day kicked off with the Six-Max tournament and it drew 349 entries with only a single re-entry allowed during registration. That number was good enough to make Event 11 the single biggest Six-Max tournament in our history regardless of buy-in size.
After a long final table, Aleksey Shaburov won the title after a heads-up deal with Aidan Hynes at 3 am. Shaburov earned $30,890 and took home his first career SHRP title.
Event 11 final table results:
1st: Aleksey Shaburov – $30,890 + SHRPO Trophy *
2nd: Aidan Hynes – $29,785 *
3rd: Aneris Adomkevicius – $17,505
4th: Ci Zhou – $12,545
5th: Inacio Izkovitz – $9,145
6th: Francois Gagne – $6,780
7th: Corey Burbick – $5,120

Event 12 saw the return of the popular Big O tournament and it drew 75 entries to the Five-Card PLO8 game. The tournament quickly played down to the money but action slowed once they got there.
Georgii Belianin hit the final table with the lead and finished with all of the chips. The Russian pro continued a good week; two SHRPO title in three days, Event 4 on Sunday and Event 12 last night. This is his first visit to the property but we’re betting it won’t be his last.
Event 12 results:
1st: Georgii Belianin – $7,815
2nd: Charles Simon – $5,210
3rd: Ed Turner – $3,475
4th: John Holley – $2,415
5th: Amy Patel – $1,750
6th: Andrew Blum – $1,330
7th: Phil Sokolov – $1,060
8th: Craig Kessinger – $885
9th: Jason Reep – $780
10th: Anne Amato – $780
The third headline of the night involved Gabriel Ramos rising up the leaderboard for most SHRP major series wins. He picked up number five last night when he finished off the Omaha 8/Stud 8 tournament in a heads-up deal with “Miami” John Cernuto.
It was the fifth SHRP title for Ramos and puts him in a five-way tie for second overall with Brian Altman, Julio Fernandez, Michael Laake, and Michael Newman. David Prociak still leads that list with seven career SHRP wins and that will be a tough number to match during SHRPO.
Event 13 results:
1st: Gabriel Ramos – $6,090 + SHRPO Trophy *
2nd: “Miami” John Cernuto – $6,090 *
3rd: Carey Pickus – $3,250
4th: Matt Axelrod – $2,255
5th: John Holley – $1,640
6th: Joel Harwood – $1,245
7th: Lazaro Rodriguez – $990
8th: Sergio Braga – $830
9th: Brandon Duvdivani – $730

The last tournament of the day was the fastest to finish. Event 14 was a $1,100 Eight-Handed Turbo Freeze-Out and it played like a turbo. The tournament drew 94 entries and they were done within six hours of the start.
After several close calls in the past, Sam Panzica captured his first SHRP title after a heads-up deal. The bigger buy-in tournament produced a great final table that also included Jake Schwartz, Raj Vohra, Chris Hunichen, and Purple Chip Bounty sixth place finisher Carlos Guerrero.
Event 14 final table results:
1st: Sam Panzica – $23,962 + SHRPO Trophy *
2nd: Mohammed Tarkmani – $21,038 *
3rd: Carlos Guerrero – $12,200
4th: Jake Schwartz – $8,580
