2021 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Event 16 Champion Scott Matejka

Event 16 of the 2021 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open was a $600 Limit Omaha 8 (Freeze-Out). A field of 111 players generated a prize pool of $58,275.

A heads-up deal was reached between the final two players and as the chip leader at the time, Scott Matejka was the official winner. The Kissimmee, FL native doesn’t play in many tournaments, but was obviously thrilled with the result tonight.

“I don’t usually play tournaments,” admitted Matejka afterward. “I usually play small stakes cash, so this is definitely the biggest result I’ve ever had.”

Matejka topped a tough final table that included multiple SHRP trophy winners Gabe Ramos and Phil Hui.
