Let's move to Florida to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, where the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown series was underway. This one attracted some well-known names as well.
We take a look at tournament number 64, which was the $10,000 buy-in, $1,000,000 guarantee Deep Stack NLH. The entries count stopped at 122, bringing the prizepool to $1,159,000.
Martin Kabrhel on his way to victory
Only 16 players could make it to the ITM and a $288,400 prize awaited the winner. Names like Cherish Andrews, Matthew Wantman, Faraz Jaka, Josh Reichard and two Czechs in Martin Kabrhel and Zdenek Zizka were also in the final day.
Žižka failed to make it to the ITM and Martin Kabrhel sat at the final table with the second largest stack. Martin soon became the chipleader and battled his way into the final heads-up where he sat against the owner of sixteen WSOPC rings, Josh Reichard, with a stack of nearly 100 blinds. Josh brought a 27 blind stack into heads-up play.
With the pace set by Martin Kabrhel, it looked like he would be the clear winner. However, that was not to be as Josh Reichard took the lead and he was able to deal with Kabrhel. This left Martin Kabrhel in second place with $197,000 in prize money and Josh Reichard taking home $288,400 along with another title.
