Event 32 of the 2024 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open was a $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha (Re-Entry), drawing a field of 54 entries for a prize pool of $513,000. A heads-up deal took place and Sam Sternfield had the chip lead at the time, making him the official winner of Event 32 for $157,046.

“Is this real life?” an elated Sternfield kept asking.

This marked Sternfield’s largest career score and his third SHRP major series trophy victory. His first two came during the 2023 SHRPO series, where he won a $600 six-max PLO and followed that up with a victory in the $2,700 eight-game mix event.
