Event 2
$400 Limit Omaha 8 (Re-Entry)
Entries: 116
Prize Pool: $38,860
November 17, 2021

Event 2 was the second game on the schedule but one of the first that would award a trophy. It was a $400 Limit Omaha 8 tournament that drew a great 116-entry field and Jay Kerbel outlasted them all to pick up the outright win.

Kerbel earned $11,315 for the win after a tough heads-up battle against Ziya Rahim and dispatching a tough opponent in Joel Harwood.

Congrats to Jay and good luck tomorrow in the H.O.R.S.E. tournament!

$200 Double Green Chip Bounty (Re-Entry)

Prize Pool:  $17,380
Bounty Prize Pool:  $7,900
November 17, 2021

The Double Green Chip Bounty tournament was running alongside the Limit Omaha 8 tournament and we found an anomaly between the two. Gabriel Ramos was sitting at the No Limit Hold’em final table and not the split-pot game; his specialty.

Ramos went on to capture the Event 3 title after a four-way deal that saw him earn his sixth SHRP Hollywood trophy, a feat that ties him with Brian Altman and Michael Newman for second-most in our history.

Ramos’s other trophies:

2018 Showdown – $360 Omaha 8/Stud 8
2018 SHRPO – $360 Big O
2019 LHPO – $360 Six-Max PLO
2019 Showdown – $360 Pot Limit Omaha 8
2019 SHRPO – $400 Omaha 8/Stud 8

With this win, Ramos adds both a No Limit Hold’em title to his list of credentials along with his first Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open trophy. He now has a complete set.

Ramos held the chip lead when the last four players decided on a deal to divide up the remaining prize money. He took home $3,000 plus the coveted trophy to go with the rest. Ramos isn’t done for the series, there are more games to play and trophies to win.

“I spent six weeks in Vegas,” he continued. “I said I’d go home if I won a trophy.”

“But I have to play the HORSE tomorrow,” he said with a smile.

Day 1A Players Remaining:  56 of 555

After players returned from their last break of the day, the field quickly hit 57 players to put them on the bubble. Tournament staff paused the clock and they would take two minutes off for each hand dealt until one player was eliminated.

It took five hands before we saw any action and it went in a hurry. Marc Brooks had a player all in and at risk for 84,000 but he needed help. The at-risk player was in good shape for a double up holding versus the of Brooks. Right up until the flop.

Brooks paired his queen, his opponent had a gutshot, but Brooks had one of his jacks. The board finished with the turn and river to send the field into the money.

In a bit of a surprise, Flight A managed to make it to another break without reaching the money bubble. There were 60 players remaining at the end of Level 17 and they will return on four knockouts away from earning a seat in Day 2.
