The second event of the 2021 bestbet Jacksonville Spring Series was of the four-card poker variety. Event #2: $360 Pot-Limit Omaha attracted a field of 112 entries and created a prize pool of $34,160.
The top 14 players got paid, and all six who cashed but fell short of the final table were from out of state. Floridians then accounted for half of the final eight, but two of them in Fakhouri Jamil and Hyndi Khomutetsky were the first two to fall once the final table was reached.
A trio of South Carolinians in Andreas Wolfram, James Stuart, and James Hucks all busted thereafter, halving the field before Robert Satterfield went out in third. The two remaining Floridians in Jacksonville's Tammer Ilcaffas and Armando Figueroa of Lutz then played heads up for the top prize of $9,339 with Figueroa being the one to claim victory.
