Event 24 of the 2021 Lucky Hearts Poker Open, a $150 No-Limit Hold’em (Double Re-Entry per Day), drew 770 entries over two starting flights and created a prize pool of $92,400, nearly doubling the $50,000 guarantee.

There were 97 players who cashed, returning to the Poker Room on Day 2 to play to a winner. New Hamshire native Kevin Rines began the day 19th in chips and navigated his way to the final table. Coming in third in chips of the final seven players, Rines was on the winning side of a set over set cooler to take the chip lead into heads-up play, before ultimately sealing the deal with a win.

“I’m down here on vacation with my family,” Rines said afterward. “I satellited into the Main and did horribly, and then I figured I’d just go into this one. Feels good to get a trophy.”
