Event 4 of the 2021 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open was a $400 Deep Stack Pot Limit Omaha (Single Re-Entry). A field of 133 entries took part in the action and in the end, a heads-up chop was agreed upon between Yuval Bronshtein and Nancy Birnbaum. As the chip leader, Bronshtein was the official Event 4 winner.

For Bronshtein, it’s his third Seminole Hard Rock trophy overall and his second of this series, having won Event 2 just two nights earlier.

“I always feel really confident, especially playing here,” said Bronshtein afterward. “I’ve run really well here.”

Bronshtein moved to South Florida in late 2019 and this marked his third SHRP major victory since then to go along with three runner-up finishes, all in mixed-game tournaments.

“Since I won my WSOP bracelet (in the summer of 2019), I’ve got this tremendous confidence whenever I get to a final table. I don’t feel any stress or pressure. I just feel like I can always play my game, I feel like I’m going to play better than everyone, I feel like I’m going to run better than everyone, and get cards when I need them in the crucial spots.”

With plenty more mixed-game tournaments on the SHRPO schedule, Bronshtein is looking forward to keeping up his winning ways.

“It’s just the beginning of the series and I hope to keep it going.”
