The last day of the LHPO series means it’s time to crown our 2023 Lucky Hearts Poker Open Champion. A tough group of 16 return today at noon with Taylor Wilson leading but nothing is locked up.

Action will continue until we have our champ, from 16 players to one sitting with the big guitar pick trophy.

The bulk of the big money is still up for grabs, with more than $3.3 million still waiting to be paid out, and our winner will earn $850,735.

Cards go back in the air at noon and we will be here with them until someone takes the title.
