Daniel Swartz Wins Hollywood Poker Open Columbus Regional Main Event for $70,560

After a grueling heads-up battle and plenty of Day 2 swings, Daniel Swartz waded his way through 46 returning players and held on to win the Hollywood Poker Open Columbus Regional $1,115 Main Event, a tournament that attracted 294 entries and created a prize pool of $294,000. Swartz came in as the chip leader — having bagged a huge stack at the end of Saturday's Day 1a – and used it to navigate his way to the winner's circle for $70,560 and a $2,500 seat to next month's HPO Championship Main Event in Las Vegas.
