2022 RRPO Event 42 Champion Frank Lagodich

Event 42 of the 2022 Seminole Hard Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open was the $5,000 Deep Stack No-Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry), a staple at the end of the SHRP major series. A field of 134 entries generated a prize pool of $636,500, more than tripling the guarantee.

A five-way deal was agreed upon at the final table, and the overwhelming chip leader was Frank Lagodich, making him the official winner for $133,241.

This marked Lagodich’s second SHRP major series trophy, having previously won the $1,100 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship during the 2022 Showdown. The score also puts Lagodich above the $1 million mark in career live tournament winnings per the Hendon Mob poker database.

Yuval Bronshtein during the 2022 RRPO

With six players left, Yuval Bronshtein had been knocked down to just 10,000 when his 4h4c lost a race to Erik Seidel’s AhJd, when the board ran out QhJc7s2s2c.

He won his next two multi-way all-in hands to get up to 160,000, then got it in from the big blind with Ad7s against James Romero’s Ks10h. The board came down Ah9d7cJd5s, safe for Bronshtein after a sweaty turn card to double up again.

Shortly after, Bronshtein raised to 45,000 on the button, Scott Dehm called in the small blind, and Seidel three-bet all in for about 500,000 from the big blind. Bronshtein called all in for 250,000, and Dehm folded.

Bronshtein:  KsKd
Seidel:  7d7s

The board ran out As8d4s6cAh, safe for Bronshtein to double up into second place.
