Neil Blumenfield

There was about 4,000 in the pot, and the flop read 6s3h2c when Neil Blumenfield bet 3,500 from the small blind. UTG+1 called, and the button tanked for a minute before folding.

The turn fell Kd, Blumenfield fired out 5,000, and his opponent called before the river delivered the 2s. Both players checked, and then Blumenfield flipped over QsQd. UTG+1 folded so Blumenfield stacked up  62,000 after collecting the pot.

Neil Blumenfield – 62,000 (310 bb)

We have a lot of top players in the field early with some big results. But none but one (so far) today can claim to be a SHRPO Champion.

Dimitri Vorbe was here at the start of the day, back to defend the title he won in this room last year. The 2021 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship drew 1,180 entries and Vorbe topped them all to walk away with $929,365 plus the very big, very pretty Guitar Tower trophy.
