Championship: Jason Hickey Doubles Thru Serhii Popovych

$3,000,000 Guaranteed | Structure | Payouts
Level 11:  1,500/2,500 with a 2,500 ante
Players Remaining:  297 of 1,070

Jason Hickey

Jason Hickey opened to 5,500 from early position and picked up three callers before Serhii Popovych moved all in from the big blind. Hickey checked his stack, called at risk for 93,500 and the rest of the table folded.

Hickey: AsKc
Popovych: Ad4h

Hickey was in great shape for a double but found a sweat on the 7d5d2s flop.  Popovych was still behind but picked up a gutshot wheel draw that turned open-ended with 6s turn. Hickey asked for something big, got something small, but the 2c river was safe for his double up.

Jason Hickey – 201,000 (80 bb)
Serhii Popovych – 42,500 (17 bb)

Alex Nguyen

Reggie Lopez was all in preflop for 30,000 with Kd10s in the hole, but Alex Nguyen had him covered holding Ad4s.

The board ran out JhJc3c3h7d, and Lopez was eliminated on the hand. Nguyen stacked up 410,000 after collecting the pot.

Alex Nguyen – 410,000 (164 bb)
Reggie Lopez – Eliminated

Shannon Shorr

The clock hit noon and tournament staff put cards back in the air for the 2023 SHRPO Championship with 317 remaining, 134 getting paid, and ten levels set for today.

Brandon Wittmeyer leads the return but in no hurry to unbag his big stack but second-place (and three-time SHRP champ) Shannon Shorr was here early, ready to build.

Grand Ballroom

The 2023 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship drew 1,070 entries over two starting flights to create a prize pool worth more than $5,000,000.

We had 317 players survive to make it through Day 2, and they will return at noon to begin playing down to our SHRPO Champ.

Brandon Wittmeyer leads the way, with Shannon Shorr, Gary Bolden, Alex Nguyen, and Jason Daly rounding out the top five. It’s still a long way before we near the final table, but they should hit the money bubble near the dinner break.

They will play another ten levels, one hour each, and anyone with chips at that point will return tomorrow for Day 3. Blinds are 1,500/2,500 with a 2,500 ante, and the average stack is about 135,000 (54 bb).

Top ten returning stacks:

  1. Brandon Wittmeyer – 474,000 (190 bb)
  2. Shannon Shorr – 396,000 (158 bb)
  3. Gary Bolden – 395,000 (158 bb)
  4. Alex Nguyen – 384,500 (154 bb)
  5. Jason Daly – 384,500 (154 bb)
  6. Asher Neaman – 369,500 (148 bb)
  7. Koray Aldemir – 359,500 (144 bb)
  8. Eracles Panayiotou – 347,000 (139 bb)
  9. Paul Koster – 343,000 (137 bb)
