$400 Deep Stack Pot Limit Omaha (Single Re-Entry)
Structure
Level 3: 75/150
Entries: 114
Due to the huge turnout for the PLO game and Flight E of Event 1, the dinner break has been rescheduled to allow for more time to seat the later flight.
PLO players will now get a 10-minute break following Level 11 and their 40-minute dinner break following Level 14 at 7:30 pm.
The first Friday of the LHPO series had two more flights of the big opening event plus the popular H.O.R.S.E. tournament made its return to the schedule.
Event 3 was the first mix game and it drew 102 entries to tie for the second biggest H.O.R.S.E. field in our history. Nick Pupillo is mainly a No Limit Hold’em player but joined this tournament after bagging a top 20 stack in Event 1 a day earlier. Yuval Bronshtein was also in the field and looking to go back-to-back after winning the Event 2 title.
The two of them would make it all the way down to heads-up play and Pupillo denied a second title to Bronshtein with the outright win. In a strange coincidence, this was Pupillo’s third SHRP trophy after he went back-to-back in consecutive days during the 2014 Rock N Roll Poker Open.
You can find full updates for Event 3 at the link below.
Final table results:
1st: Nick Pupillo – $9,570
2nd: Yuval Bronshtein – $6,380
3rd: Ian Feller – $4,331
4th: Devin Weinberg – $3,048
5th: Lazaro Rodriguez – $2,228
6th: John Simcox – $1,694
7th: Bryce Fox – $1,225
Two more flights were run for the $600 Deep Stack NLH opening event of the series and they hit another milestone. With 1,906 combined entries, the Event 1 prize pool pushed its way over the $1,000,000 mark with two more big flights to go.
Mohammed Al-Balushi’s 708,000 stack continues to hold the lead heading into Day 2 with Adam Racca (522,000), Ha Nguyen (491,000), Rafael Lima (472,000), and Jonathan Byrd (456,000) rounding out the top five.

Late registration is available until the start of Level 9 at 4:30 pm and players have a single re-entry option available to them. They will take a dinner break at 6 pm and return to play it out for the first PLO title of the series.
Breaks are a great time to grab a bite to eat while you are away from the action and our food options have expanded. It is a short walk to Constant Grind (across from the Buffet) where they have a full menu of breakfast sandwiches, lunch sandwiches, snacks, and drinks.
But the real treat is the new addition of sushi rolls from Kuro. One of the best-rated restaurants around, you can now grab a Spicy Tuna, Salmon Avocado, or California roll to go. They are a popular choice and in limited supply so be sure to pick some up on your break.

Level 3: 100/200 with a 200 ante
Flight E Entries: 420
Flight E is up to 420 entries with another 20 coming via re-entry to put the prize pool over $1.2 million. With Flight E capped at 400 players before the start of the day, players are now lining up to buy into Flight F at 6 pm. That will also hit the max number so come down and get your seat.
Zach Mullenix made his way into the penultimate flight trying for his second LHPO trophy. He earned his first here last January with a win in the $1,100 Eight-Handed tournament. Mullenix won a WSOP Circuit ring at our sister room in Coconut Creek and booked a $37K cash for a second-place finish in our 2020 November Holiday Special.

Level 2: 100/100 with a 100 ante
Flight E Entries: 404
The entry count is going up slower than usual because only re-entries are now allowed but it will begin to climb faster as more players are eliminated.
Eric Piderit is trying to avoid being one of those cases and his recent hot streak might help. He played in our Fun in the Sun series over the holidays and booked three cashes with two final tables. When combined with his wife Tamra, the couple made the final table in three of the five events during the series.

Level 1: 100/100
Flight E Entries: 400
Cards are in the air for Flight E of LHPO Event 1 with the field already capped at 400 unique players. That does not mean the entry count will not go up, each of these 400 players have a single re-entry option available to them if they go bust.
Anyone interested in playing Flight F tonight at 6 pm is encouraged to buy their seat now. That one will likely cap at 400 players before the start of play as well.

Level 1: 100/100
The first Saturday of the Lucky Hearts Poker Open series will be a big one. We are running the last two flights of Event 1, a tournament that already boosted its $300,000 guaranteed prize pool over $1,000,000, and we expect to cap out both.
The first four flights combined to put 1,906 entries in the game with today’s action expected to add more than 1,000 on top.
Players will start with 20,000 deep stacks and all Day 1 levels last 30 minutes. Late registration is available until the start of Level 9 at 2:30 pm with a single re-entry option available. For safety’s sake, each flight is capped at 400 unique players and that number was hit for Flight E before cards went in the air.
Flight E will continue through the day until only 12.5% of the field remains. Those with chips will return on Sunday at 2 pm already in the money and set to play down to a champion.
