Event 25 of the 2019 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown was a $2,200 Eight-Handed Turbo NLH (Re-Entry). A field of 104 entries created a prize pool of $208,000, and winning outright was Gavin O’Rourke for $58,260.

It was only a few days ago when O’Rourke won Event 16 for his second SHRP trophy and before week’s end, O’Rourke won his third.

“It’s a little bit surreal,” O’Rourke said afterward. “I’m not used to running this good, so I’ll just take it when I get it.”
