The 2019 Lucky Hearts Poker Open (LHPO) wrapped up at the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood on Tuesday night. The 13-day festival, which was comprised of 25 events, ended with the keystone $1,100 buy-in WPTDeepStacks Hollywood Main Event.
That tournament attracted 1,634 entries – the second largest WPTDeepStacks in history – and surpassed its $1 million guarantee by creating a $1,584,980 prize pool. After six days of play, 37-year-old Jason Young, a 2008 World Series of Poker bracelet winner, came out on top to win a $263,205 first-place prize.
'It's been a long journey to get back here,' Young told officials after his win. 'There's been a lot of stuff that's gone on in my life over the last five to six years, that I didn't think I'd ever be back in a position like this. I'm rarely speechless, and I don't even know how to process my thoughts just quite yet about everything.
'I never went away. I opened a restaurant and had my daughter who I'm raising all by myself. I just haven't had the opportunities to play like I once did, but this obviously has me wanting to come back and put in more volume like I was. It's been like eight years since I've really been playing and I'm looking forward to playing in more tournaments like this.'
