Event 17 of the 2022 Lucky Hearts Poker Open was the $1,100 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry). A field of 520 entries blew the $100,000 guarantee out of the water, more than quintupling it to the tune of $504,580.

Scott Baumstein was in the lead to start the final table and when it was all said done, he had in fact done it again. Baumstein emerged victorious for his fifth SHRP major series trophy, winning outright for $96,795.

“Seminole Hard Rock $1,100 specialist,” joked Baumstein afterward.

Of Baumstein’s five SHRP major series victories, four have come in a $1,100 buy-in.
