May Deep Stack Flashback: Steve McKoy Adds to Seminole Résumé
Back in 2016, this very event attracted 1,075 entries, which meant a $322,500 prize pool more than doubled the guarantee. Steve McKoy emerged victorious in the tournament for $49,755 after a four-way deal.
Also getting a piece of it, $39,200 to be exact, was Ronald Compillo, who won the $350 Escalator Series earlier in the year. Compillo officially finished as runner-up while Michael Merisier and Jacob Snider took third and fourth for $35,750 and $35,710, respectively.
McKoey, who was 29 at the time, added to his Hard Rock résumé, which included wins at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek and here at the Seminole Hard Rock.
Among those to finish in the money were 2015 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year Ory Hen (23rd), Lou Stadler (29th), Jessica Dawley (42nd) , Darryl Fish (86th), Zoltan Czinkota (87th) and Evan Teitelbaum (89th).
