1.982 Entries sorgten bei der WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open mit $3.500 Buy-In für einen sagenhaften $6.342.400 Preispool. 248 Spieler kamen ins Geld, auf den Sieger warten knapp weniger als $1 Mio!
Unter den bekannten Namen schafften es Erik Seidel (Platz 128, $7.815) und Chris Moorman (183, $6.615) in die Geldränge, aber nicht wirklich weit. Jake Daniels konnte sich an den Final Table spielen, musste dort aber bereits auf Platz 8 das Feld verlassen. Mit soliden $124.365 wurde das belohnt. Jeremy Ausmus erwischte es direkt danach auf Platz 7 – $160.095 gab es dafür.
Im Heads-Up konnte sich Alexander Yen gegen den schwedischen Crusher Anton Wigg durchsetzen. Yen, der bislang bei zwei MSPT-Events Runner-Up-Platzierungen und einen dritten Platz bei einem WSOP-Event vorweisen konnte, setzt damit einen Meilenstein in seiner Karriere.
Sein Name steht nun neben vielen anderen Gewinnern auf der Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup-Trophäe. Als Preisgeld sackt er $975.240 ein. Runner-Up Wigg ging mit $650.180 aus dem Turnier.
