Der Sieg bei der $3.500 Lucky Hearts Poker Open Championship im Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino im US-Bundesstaat Florida geht an einen deutschen Pro. Marius Gierse drehte in der Schlussphase auf und kassierte nach einem Deal $605.000 Prämie.
Mit Gierse, Leo Hermann und Konstatin Held waren sogar drei deutschsprachige Spieler unter den letzten 16 Spielern für den finalen vierten Tag.
Held musste sich dann an der Bubble zum Final Table nach einem Cooler auf Platz zehn für $85.410 geschlagen geben. Mit 
(9c] hatte er auf 
einen Drilling gefloppt und lief gegen 
zum Full House von Brian Scott.
Für Hermann endete das Turnier auf Platz acht für $108.850. Er verlor einen Coinflip mit 
gegen Pockettens von Scott.
Im weiteren Verlauf nahm Gierse Daniel Clifford und Martin Canero auf den Plätzen sieben und fünf vom Tisch, Scott hatte dazwischen für den Bustout von Taylor Wilson gesorgt.
Zu viert erspielte sich Gierse dann eine knappe Führung, ehe ein Deal abgeklopft und letztlich auch abgeschlossen wurde. Weitere Hände wurden danach nicht gespielt, sodass Gierse auch zum Sieger erklärt wurde.
