2022 Lucky Hearts Poker Open Event 2 Champion Jay Kerbel

Event 2 of the 2022 Lucky Hearts Poker Open was the $400 Limit Omaha 8 (Re-Entry). A field of 150 entries took part, the fourth most in SHRP history for this event. The generated prize pool was $50,250, with $13,665 up top for the winner.

Emerging victorious outright was Jay Kerbel, who won this same event two months ago at the 2021 Rock N’ Roll Poker Open.

Beginning the final table with the chip lead, Kerbel maintained it for much of the way until action was three-handed. When it got to heads-up, Kerbel was slightly behind but went on a heater to end things in about 20 minutes, winning his second SHRP trophy.
