Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. Is bringing back major poker tournaments with the return of the Lucky Hearts Poker Open (LHPO), kicking off Thursday, Jan. Primary events kick off with the $600 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em opener featuring six opening flights and a $300,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Brian Altman made poker history on Wednesday night by becoming the first player in World Poker Tour history to win the same Main Event twice.

'It’s amazing to be the first person to win the same WPT event twice, and kind of cement myself in history with this event.'

He did so by topping an 843-entry field to take down the WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open $3,500 Championship Event at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood for $482,636. Altman previously won the LHPO back in 2015 for a career-high $723,008.

“This is incredibly special. It’s amazing to be the first person to win the same WPT event twice, and kind of cement myself in history with this event,” Altman told WPT officials after the win. “Obviously it’s fantastic to get big wins, but playing these events I’m happy to put myself in a position to go deep, be chip leader, and make final tables.”

The victory also helped propel Altman, who has now cashed three times in Season XVIII, to the top of the WPT Hublot Player of the Year race.

Final Table Results

Place	Player	Prize
1	Brian Altman	$482,636
2	John “Jake” Dollinger	$311,751
3	Chanracy Khun	$230,086
4	Nadya Magnus	$171,642
5	Nadeem Hirani	$129,438
6	Peter Walsworth	$98,686

Others to cash the tournament were James Calderaro (9th - $46,763), Sam Soverel (10th - $46,763), Joey Couden (15th - $24,564), Mukul Pahuja (21st - $16,965), Aaron Massey (29th - $14,357), Darren Elias (32nd - $14,357), Anthony Zinno (38th - $12,300), and WSOP Big 50 champ Femi Fashakin (44th - $10,670).

Final Table Action

According to updates from the event, Altman was not only the chip leader coming into the final table, he was also the most accomplished player with more than $3.8 million in lifetime earnings, including 27 cashes on the WPT.

Altman, who became the 24th player in tour history to win multiple titles, and Jake Dollinger held 70 percent of the chips in play between them at the start of the final table, so it wasn’t surprising to see it come down to the two of them.

At that point, Altman was down 13 million to 20 million but took over the chip lead in just two hands. From there he put the peddle to the metal and the tournament concluded on Hand #115 of the final table. That is when Dollinger limp-jammed with ace-eight only to have Altman roll over pocket aces. The board ran out clean and history was made.

“Winning a second WPT title feels amazing. It’s incredibly special. It doesn’t always work out,” Altman added in his WPT winner interview. “I’ve had maybe a dozen or so situations where I’ve gone deep and thought I was going to win and I didn’t. But that’s how tournaments go. To continually put myself in a position to win tournaments, it feels special.”

Jonathan Jaffe Wins High Roller

In other Lucky Hearts Poker Open news, the $25,500 High Roller concluded on Tuesday with Jonathan Jaffe claiming the title and $340,285 in prize money after striking a heads-up deal with Arkadiy Tsinis, who banked $257,207.

The tournament attracted 41 entrants which helped it squeak by the $1 million guarantee by creating a $1,012,700 prize pool. That was paid out to the top seven players including Kevin Rabinchow (7th - $40,508), Byron Kaverman (6th - $55,699), Maria Ho (5th - $70,889), and Ping Liu (4th - $101,270).

After Jared Jaffee bowed out in third place for $146,842 – the result of losing a flip with ace-queen suited to Tsinis’ pocket sevens – the final two worked their deal. Jaffe had a roughly 3:1 chip lead at the time and was able to secure the LHPO high roller trophy.
