This year’s LHPO marked the first time pairing of WPTDeepStacks and WPT brands in the same series, and the $3,500 WPT Championship boasted a final prize pool of more than $2.9 million, easily exceeding the $2 million guarantee.
Besting 911 entries in the Championship, Darryll Fish (31) of Cape Coral, Florida, took home the top prize of $511,604 plus a seat into the season-ending WPT Tournament of Champions in Las Vegas, valued at $15,000.
“I don’t play for the title, but it doesn’t mean I don’t want one and it doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate it,” said Fish. “It’s been a lot of years playing the WPT so it feels really good.”
A frequent player at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Hollywood, Wednesday’s win marked Fish’s third top-three finish and fourth cash in the property’s last five poker majors. He previously finished runner-up in the 2017 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship for $453,185; 33rd in the World Series of Poker Circuit Main Event for $6,034; third in last November’s Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open Championship for $168,920; and, of course, first in yesterday’s LHPO Championship for $511,604. In all, he’s earned $1,139,743 in Seminole Hard Rock championships dating back to April of 2017.
“[Seminole Hard Rock] feels like home,” said Fish. “Every poker player has their home casino and the one they feel most comfortable playing in. . . I’ve played poker here since I was 18 years old.
