After finishing as runner-up in the $570 No Limit Hold’em/Pot Limit Omaha, Bradley Young managed to beat the field of 124 entrants and win the $360 Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Lo taking home a prize of $7,194 after making a four-way deal with his last three standing opponents at the event’s final table.
The player, who is based in New York, took part in a total of three events of the 2016 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open, including the $570 No Limit Hold’em/Pot Limit Omaha where he finished second and won $6,821 and $360 No Limit Hold’em – Deepstack Re-Entry, where he ranked 53rd and won $1,928. His overall winnings from the tournament amount to $15,943.
Young, who started his career and acquired a lot of practice when playing cash poker games at various underground clubs in New York, now prefers taking part in various tournaments, including in the Seminole Hard Rock poker events.
Still, he does not participate often in the limit Omaha format. According to Young himself, the second place in the Event #7 helped him very much, especially when it comes to feeling more comfortable in the $360 Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Lo event.
As already mentioned above, the Event #9 attracted 124 participants, who together generated a total prize of $37,200. The prize was divided between the top 15 players, with the payouts starting from $595.
Bradley Young was one of the leaders at the unofficial ten-handed final table. Later, at the time when there were only four players standing at the final table, he became the chip leader by accumulating the largest stack. At this time, a four-way deal was offered by one of the players and after the payouts were discussed, Young was declared the $360 Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Lo tournament’s champion. As a result, he was granted not only the biggest portion of the remaining prize, but also the tournament’s trophy.
George Korsavin occupied the runner-up position, while Benjamine Warren ended third. Each of the two players were paid a prize of $6,192. Marc Levy finished on the fourth position and took home a chunk estimated to $5,192.
The fifth position was occupied by David McClure, who was granted with $2,492. John Holley was left sixth, securing a payout of $1,994. Kenneth Corl took the 7th place and was paid out $1,659, while the 8th place was occupied by Michael Newman who won $1,328. The 9th place brought a total of $997 to Brandon Angeloff, and Ross Ruby took the 10th position with a share estimated to $725.
