Event 16 of the 2024 Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open was a $200 Multi-Flight Big Stack No-Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry). Across six starting flights, a field of 1,634 entries generated a prize pool of $261,440.
An eight-way deal was reached at the final table and as the chip leader, Michael Newman was the official Event 16 champion for $28,155. For Newman, this marked his record-tying 10th SHRP major series trophy, moving him into a three-way tie for first alongside Raminder Singh and Yuval Bronshtein.
“This is just great,” said Newman afterward. “I mean, a big field like this, to get through any tournament is tough. I’m just grateful. I love to play. I had a huge chip lead and the blinds were so big. The rest of the table wanted to make a deal, and anything could happen.”
Aside from winning his 10th SHRP major series trophy, this was the 3rd that came in a multi-flight tournament.
“Sometimes when you play these multi-flight tournaments, it gives you the opportunity to shoot a bunch of bullets, and I do. I try to be aggressive early, and then if I do happen to be lucky enough to get the chip lead, I just play with controlled aggression from there.”
