When the final seven players in the $360 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em event agreed to an ICM chop late Sunday night, it was Matt Vinke who was in the lead with 24% of all the chips in play to claim the title, the trophy, and $10,445.

This was just the fourth event of the Lucky Hearts Poker Open to end in a deal, with all of the rest playing down to a winner.

This is the biggest cash of Vinke’s live tournament career, and his second trophy. Vinke’s previous victory came at last year’s Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown in a $360 Big Stack Bounty event, where he earned $9,500.

1st:  Matt Vinke  –  $10,445 + LHPO trophy
