Championship: Day 2 Ready to Go

January 21, 2018 @ 11:51AM by AlCantHang

$3,500 WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open Championship
$2,000,000 Guaranteed | Structure | Payouts
Level 11: 600/1,200 with a 200 ante
Players Remaining: 343 of 911

The WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open Championship made it through the two starting flights and it drew 911 entries to push the prize pool well clear of the $2 Million Guarantee.

Of those starters, we have 343 coming back for Day 2 this afternoon and it will be another great day of poker. Joey Couden returns with the chip lead followed by Cong Pham, Brad Albrinck, Darryll Fish, and Dantonio Brown. Albrinck bagged up the Flight A chip lead, had a day off, and went across the hall to win the Black Chip Bounty event.

The top ten also includes poker legend Bobby Suer, high roller specialist Isaac Haxton, and WPT favorite Sam De Silva. Father/daughter team Loni and Joel Harwood also advanced along with Vanessa Selbst, Rainer Kempe, Darren Elias, and Anthony Spinella. Michael Quinn grabbed his entry via our Win a Seat drawing and returns with a top 50 stack.

The plan is to play ten more levels, one hour apiece, and end the day around 12:30 am. The actual length is yet to be determined, it will all depend on how long it takes to make the money this evening.

The Championship restarts at noon and we’ll see who makes a Day 2 run.

Top ten returning stacks:

Joey Couden – 342,500 (285 bb)
Cong Pham – 297,300 (248 bb)
Brad Albrinck – 236,800 (197 bb)
Darryll Fish – 223,000 (186 bb)
Dantonio Brown – 220,100 (183 bb)
Isaac Haxton – 213,300 (178 bb)
Sam De Silva – 211,700 (176 bb)
Niovel Chirino Alvarez – 207,900 (173 bb)
Bobby Suer – 200,900 (167 bb)
Kazu Oshima – 196,300 (164 bb)

We have two new tournaments on the Lucky Hearts Poker Open schedule and both of them will zip off with turbo formats while the Championship plays down in the ballroom.

Event 17 is a $300 buy-in tournament with a turbo structure and a $30,000 guaranteed prize pool. It is set up to start and finish on the same day so we will crown another LHPO trophy before the night is through.

Cards fly at 11 am and we’ll keep one eye on them from across the hallway.

Event 16: Brad Albrinck Wins a Trophy After Bagging Up Day 1A Lead in the Championship Event

January 21, 2018 @ 1:45AM by Mickey Doft

2018 Lucky Hearts Poker Open
Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino
Hollywood, Florida
Event 16
$360 Black Chip Bounty NLH (Re-Entry)
Entries: 100
Prize Pool: $20,000
January 20, 2018

Event 16 of the 2018 Lucky Hearts Poker Open was a $360 Black Chip Bounty NLH (Re-Entry) tournament. A total of 100 entries took part and generated a prize pool of $20,000. First place was set at $6,100, and emerging victorious outright was 32-year-old Brad Albrinck.

If that name seems familiar, it’s because Albrinck bagged the Day 1A chip lead of the $3,500 WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open Championship on Friday night. How did he spend his day off? By winning a trophy in Event 16.

“I’ve run pretty hot for two days straight, and it’s been a good trip,” Albrinck said after his win. “No doubt about that.”

Although players from Day 1B of the Championship event overtook Albrinck for the overall chip lead, he is still third in chips entering Day 2.

“It will be pretty fun to come in with a lot of chips, especially for such a big event, but for now the best thing for me is to get some sleep.”

Results
1st: Brad Albrinck – $6,100
2nd: Paul Wade Williams – $3,750
3rd: Matthew Morgan – $2,300
4th: Luciano Nardi – $1,500
