Back in 2016, this very event attracted 367 runners and offered up a $550,500 prize pool. Scott Heiligman, a then 36-year-old from Naples who worked in real estate, emerged victorious to capture a $121,202 prize after a heads-up deal with Sheddy Siddiqui.
Not only did that quadruple Heiligman’s lifetime earnings, he also earned a $5,250 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship seat as well. Not too shabby considering he began Day 2 with just 10 big blinds.
Others to cash the tournament were Mukul Pahuja (3rd - $51,362), Chris Bolek (7th - $21,470), Jeff Trudeau (13th - $5,918), Paul Domb (19th - $3,854), Matt Yorra (20th - $3,854), Mark Dube (23rd - $3,854), Joel Harwood (28th - $3,413), and John Restrepo (36th - $3,41).
