Yesterday’s Lucky Hearts Poker Open High Roller saw the $25,500 buy-in ponied up a total of 75 times. From those 75 starting entries, just 14 remained following 15 levels of play. Those still in return today at 12pm to compete for a spot among the 11 in-the-money places and a piece of the tournament’s $1,875,000 prize pool.
Justin Bonomo
Leading the way by a margin is Justin Bonomo. Fresh off a third-place finish in the $50,000 buy-in Super High Roller, Bonomo bagged a monster yesterday ultimately taking the overnight chip lead with 1,866,000.
Next up in the counts is none other than Stefan Schillhabel, last week’s Super High Roller champion. Schillhabel sits on 1,083,000 chips and is the only other player over 1,000,000.
Adrian Mateos lost that heads-up match to Schillhabel last week in the $50k, but he might get a shot at redemption today. He begins in third place at the moment.
As mentioned before, only the top 11 spots finish in the money with a min-cash worth $54,375. The winner, meanwhile, earns $556,873 along with the property’s token guitar trophy.

Event 19 of the 2018 Lucky Hearts Poker Open was a $570 Big Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry) tournament. A field of 224 entries created a prize pool of $112,000, more than doubling the guarantee. When all was said and done, Matt Yorra and Sebastian Kos were the last two standing. A lengthy heads-up battle ensued, and after trading double ups they agreed to a chop. As chip leader, Yorra was officially declared the winner.
“It was a good field. A lot of the Hard Rock regulars and circuit grinders, and I’m just happy to get the win and end the series on a good note.”
Yorra began the final table second in chips to Kos. Once the two got heads up, the back-and-forth battle lasted nearly two hours before they agreed to a chop.
“He was really good, and the match could have gone either way. It’s so late, so I’m fine making the deal.”
The win bumps Yorra past the $570,000 mark in career live tournament winnings according to the Hendon Mob poker database, and also is Yorra’s first big series win at the Seminole Hard Rock.
“I’m really happy to get the title. It’s my first trophy, so it just feels good to finally get one.”
