Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open hosted its famed "Big 4" series of tournaments scheduled to end Tuesday, all sporting hefty prize pools and star-studded fields. The biggest of those in terms of buy-in was the $25,500 High Roller, which attracted 117 players for one of the richer prize pools SHRPO has doled out.
American John Andress emerged as the champion after a prolonged heads-up battle with Canadian star Mike Leah. Andress pulled off a spectacular comeback after being down to just one big blind on the money bubble to get his biggest cash, $801,450, which nearly doubles his career tournament cashes of $984,573.
