Event 25 of the 2021 Lucky Hearts Poker Open was a $5,000 No Limit Hold’em event, and the field of 134 entries created a prizepool of $636,500 — more than six times the $100,000 guarantee.

The one-day event ended with Jim Collopy and Byron Kaverman heads-up, and after battling for a while, they agreed to a deal to split the rest of the prizepool. These were their final chip counts:

Jim Collopy  –  1,670,000  (56 bb)
Byron Kaverman  –  1,010,000  (34 bb)

As the chipleader, Collopy was also awarded the title and the trophy, though it’s worth noting that both of the players earned more than $100,000 — the size of the guarantee.

Entries:  99

Event 25 was sent on their second break of the day and the field hit 99 entries while they were gone. That leaves the field only 19 away from setting another record field.

Landon Tice is in the field a few months after collecting the biggest score of his young career. The Boca Raton grinder played the $1K MSPT Main Event at the Venetian in November and outlasted 1,123 entries to earn more than $200,000. That was also his first live recorded cash, not too shabby.

While the LHPO Championship final table is playing down in the back of the Seminole Ballroom, the one-day $5K tournament is having a time of its own in the front.

The tournament flew right by its $100,000 guarantee early in the day and the prize pool is over $350,000 after the first break. The record for attendance in this tournament is 117 and they should hit that with late registration available until 6:40 pm.

Randall Emmett looks like one of the big stacks after the first break after the tv/movie producer ran his stack up to 52,000 in four levels. Emmett has two big wins and both came within days of each other; taking the top spot in the Aria $10K High Roller on October 3 of 2019 for $108,000 then again in the Aria $10K High Roller on October 5 for another $102,600.
