Craig Varnell

The entry count is closing on 450 entries for Day 1A of the Championship and the prize pool will top $1,500,000 before too long.

With the return of the World Poker Tour, it is no surprise we are finding a lot of our friends coming to South Florida from around the country.  Among them, we found Craig Varnell (Colorado), Aaron Massey (Chicago), and Renata Colache (New Jersey) to name a few.

Fernando Rodriguez

With 16 LHPO events in the books, we expect to see a lot of recent champs in the field today. We found two right out of the gates in Fernando Rodriguez and Scott Baumstein.

Rodriguez won the massive opening event, taking home $205,000 in a three-way deal after outlasting the 3,000-entry field. Scott Baumstein picked up the $600 Double Black Chip Bounty win on Monday and he can put another trophy next to his WPTDeepStacks Hollywood hardware from the 2018 Lucky Hearts Poker Open series.

Faraz Jaka

We have a pretty talented field playing the early levels. Usually, the top players take their time getting into the tournament especially with late registration open until 9:15 pm.

But we found a trio of players with some pretty big results. Faraz Jaka, Darren Elias, and Byron Kaverman have combined for more than $30,000,000 in career earnings with a lot of tournament crowns and high roller wins.

The clock hit 11 am and Tournament Manager Jason Heidenthal puts cards in the air for the 2021 WPT LHPO Championship.

There was little drama with the $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. With 313 entries well before the start of the day, that mark was passed and they are building it throughout the day.
