��HPT is excited to have PokerNews providing additional event coverage in 2019,�� said Korey Stewart, HPT Marketing Manager. ��Season XV is shaping up to be another record-breaking year for the tour.

The tournament ended when the final five struck a deal that saw them each lock up five-figure scores �C Jeremy Hanke (1st - $42,047), Eric Pfenning (2nd - $35,087), Vincent Moscati (3rd - $33,605), Steven Kanowitz (4th - $26,493), and Jeremy Standiford (5th - $22,117).
