Yesterday, the Hollywood Poker Open kicked off their final stop in this six-event second season, as the HPO Columbus Regional Championship in Ohio kicked off. After setting a season high in terms of turnout at the last stop in Charles Town with 72 entries, HPO officials were confident a new record would be set here, and they were right as they would end up with 126 entries before the day was over. This generated a prize pool of $202,754 with a $60,827 payout awaiting the eventual winner. Thirteen players will make the money today, with a minimum cash taking home $4,055.
After a grueling day of action on the felt, the field of 126 was culled to just 29 survivors. Scott Dehm bagged the most chips with an impressive 270,200 next to his name. He was followed closely by John Michalak (215,200), and Nick Guagenti (207,200). Other notable chip stacks included the likes of Ryan Pochedly (148,700), Joseph Couden (134,100), and Trevor Renner (131,500).
2003 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Chris Moneymaker would attempt to win his 2nd HPO Championship Event of 2014 but would be eliminated and ultimately he decided not to fire a second bullet. Local poker pro Shawn Cunix would battle for position throughout the day, with his family watching for a majority of the time, and would end with 76,200 in chips.
