Kevin Nee Wins 20 Times Previous Biggest Score in WPT Seminole RRPO Championship

The World Poker Tour (WPT) Seminole Hard Rock 'n' Roll Poker Open Championship wrapped up on Wednesday evening with Kevin Nee winning his first WPT title and $605,100.

The six-figure victory gave the Pennsylvanian, who defeated heads-up opponent Joel Gola, a new career-high score that is more than 20 times greater than the $25,000 he earned earlier this summer from a 669th-place finish in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event.

The final table also included high-stakes pro Aram Zobian (3rd - $295,000) and four-time bracelet winner Chad Eveslage (4th - $220,000), who was after his second WPT title after winning the 2021 WPT Venetian for $910,370 and 2022 Five Diamond World Poker Classic for $1,042,300.
