The Pittsburgh local electrician by trade, whose previous biggest cash for just a bit over $12,000 could not believe the moment he found himself in today.

“It was exciting to play Greg, I watched Greg on TV” said Snead as he discussed the big moment defeating Greg Raymer heads up. He then went on to discuss how he rode a great run on days 1 and 2 to put himself in a good position for the victory at the final table.

One thing that Snead could do with some of his new money is play more poker, including the HPT championship that he is now qualified for which he mentioned how excited he he was for it. “Oh yeah I can’t wait to play that, see Greg again and hopefully do it again”.

The final table played pretty much as straightforward as possible as each player was eliminated in the chip position they started the day in from 9th until 3rd. The day began with Thomas Gustovich going out on the very first hand of the day and action would not slow as the field was suddenly cut to five in barely over an hour with rapid eliminations. The field was cut from five to three in no time as one of the most dramatic hand occurred when Raymer knocked out both David Santucci and Mike O’Neill in the same hand when his pocket kings held up in a preflop all in to give him a chip lead heading into three-handed play.

Three-handed play slowed things down considerably as it took nearly three hours of trading chips and moderate to small hands before Frank Bonacci was eventually eliminated in 3rd place.

Heads up play took exactly one hand as Snead got it in ahead with a pair on the flop. He could practically feel the trophy in his hands but the ace on the turn snatched it away as it sent Raymer into the lead. But the dramatic nine on the river gave Snead the title as he threw up his hands in celebration.

That wraps up the PokerNews coverage of HPT Meadows. Coverage of the HPT will pick back up in Daytona Beach later in October.

Washington, Pennsylvania (March26, 2018) – The popular poker tour and television show Heartland Poker Tour (HPT) has wrappedanother successful series in the Pittsburgh market. The $1,100 Main Event atMeadows Racetrack and Casino drew a total of 422 entries, building a prize poolof $409,340. In the end it was purchasing manager Michael O’Neill that came out on top with the victory, earninghimself $93,340 in the process.

“It was tough. Itwas a good battle. Hard fought,” said O’Neill as he began to smile. “It’s goingto make my 5-hour drive a little easier.”

The Royal Oak, Michigan man started the day as the chip leaderand went coast to coast for the win, though at one point he had the smalleststack at the table. O’Neill has racked up nearly $300k in earnings on the felt,including three previous cashes with HPT. This, however, was the biggestaccomplishment of his poker career to date.

“I love playing HPT,” the new champsaid. “From the structure to the phenomenal staff and all of the players thatyou get to play with.”

Thetournament came down to O’Neill and high school teacher Frank Guerra. Ona 10♣ 6♠7♥flop, Guerra made a bold move and pushed his last 3.12 million in chips intothe middle with ace-queen, going all-in. O’Neill sniffed out the bluff and madethe superb call with his 8♦6♣.The turn brought a king leaving Guerra drawing to an ace, queen, or jack tokeep his hopes alive. The 3♦ came on the river and it was allover.

Guerra more than doubled his previous largest poker score withthe runner-up finish. He collected $57,629 for the feat. He’ll use the funds topay off his children’s college tuition expenses.

Somewhat shorthanded in relation tothe blinds, David Costain made hislast stand by going all-in with K♠6♣. The eventualchamp, O’Neill, made the call with his pocket sevens. The board failed toproduce a king and Costain, from St. Clairsville, Ohio, was sent to the rail inthird place with $38,352 for his weekend’s worth of work.

Pro poker player NickImmekus has seen much success on the felt over the years, amassing over $800,000in career earnings on the felt. He padded his resume on Monday by finishing infourth and cashing for $26,583 in his first HPT event.

Much like Immekus, Kenmore, New York’s Mark Roberts made the most of his first experience playing an HPTevent. Roberts won his way into the $1,100 Main Event earlier in the weekthrough a $410 qualifier. He managed to parlay that investment into afifth-place finish, good for $20,089. Roberts says he plans to put the winningsto use by entering more poker tournaments.

Local poker player Keith Morrow has been on a bit of aheater since the year began. The Pittsburgh man has already logged twovictories this year and was looking for his third on Monday. Alas, it wasn’tmeant to be as Morrow’s K♣J♠ failed tooutdraw Guerra’s A♦9♣. Morrow earned $15,625 for sixth place.

Dave Serkoch, a self-employed contractor, kept the mood light-hearted earlyin the day with his humorous table talk. Unfortunately for Serkoch, his time atthe table was short-lived. The McKees Rock native was knocked out early byImmekus. Serkoch’s seventh-place finish garnered him $12,987 which he plans touse to purchase gifts for his family.

Cleveland’s Chris Lichthad a great run over the weekend to earn a spot at the final table. Due topersonal matters, Licht was unable to participate on Monday and was blindedout. A chef by trade, Licht finished in eighth place with $10,755.

Dean Schultz didn’t have much to work with when the day began. The Stow,Ohio man got his last three big blinds in on the second hand of the day and wassent to the exit by Roberts. Schultz, a real estate investor, earned $9,091 forninth place.
