A clear trend looks to be emerging when it comes to live poker events in the U.S. — not many events are running, but those that do run are drawing some pretty huge numbers.
That continued over the weekend with the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Poker Classic $1,700 Main Event, which drew 959 runners for a prize pool of $1,486,450.
At the close of said Main Event, three players remained, and they drew up a deal that saw each player walk away with hefty prizes of six figures. James Kerr got the biggest of the bunch with $228,038, about $60K less than the original first-place prize, while Alex Ivan took home $197,172 and Kyrylo Kobzyev banked $166,915.
