2021 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Event 21 Seniors Champion Benjamin Robinson

Event 21 of the 2021 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open was the $400 Seniors 50+ (Re-Entry). A field of 227 entries made this the second-largest Seniors Event in SHRP history. The prize pool generated was $77,180 and winning the lion’s share of it was Benjamin Robinson, winning outright for $18,030.

“It was a long day, I’ll say that,” said Robinson afterward. “We played like 12-13 hours or something. I don’t even know what time it is. It was a grind, for sure, but I’m happy to win it.”

Robinson resides in Coral Springs and while he doesn’t play a ton of poker, he’ll take part in a few tournaments during the bigger tournament series.

James Kirvin – 3rd Place

Following a flop of 9dKc8h with about 250,000 in the pot, Benjamin Robinson checked from the small blind and James Kirvin shoved from the button for 400,000.

Robinson thought for about 35 seconds before he called with Ad9s for a pair of nines, essentially racing with Kirvin’s Jd10d for an open-ended straight draw with overcards.

The 6d turn gave Kirvin outs a flush as well, but the river was the 3c to end his tournament in third place.

Benjamin Robinson – 1,675,000 (67 bb)
David Coughlin – 1,065,000 (42 bb)
