The 2024 Lucky Hearts Poker Open champion is Raminder Singh, a skilled professional who won the $3,500 buy-in event on Jan. 24 for $486,353 via a three-way chop.
Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida hosted 52 LHPO events, attracting thousands of players to the Sunshine State’s most prominent card room. Numerous big name players such as Alex Foxen, Upeshka De Silva, and Yuval Bronshtein grabbed victories.
Alex Foxen Wins LHPO $25k High Roller
Singh Scoops Biggest Prize of the Series
Singh entered Event #34: $3,500 LHPO No-Limit Hold’em Championship, which attracted 1,188 entrants for a $3,801,600 prize pool, with 10 Seminole Hard Rock titles over the past decade and nearly $2.5 million in The Hendon Mob results. By the time the tournament concluded last week, he was just a tad below $3 million in live tournament cashes and added another SHRP victory.
The 2024 LHPO champion beat a tough final table en route to the biggest cash of his already impressive poker tournament career. He chopped three-handed before winning the trophy with Dan Martin (second place for $460,000) and Jesse Lonis (third place for $404,247).
The final table also included a few other crushers, including Jonathan Jaffe (fifth place for $173,500), Benny Glaser (seventh place for $102,000), and Brian Hastings (ninth place for $62,500). Singh, a Floridian, continued the great success he’s long had in his home state with the most prestigious win of his career.

Three’s Company for Moss
What a memorable series it was for Frederic Moss, who won not one, not two, but three tournaments during the 2024 LHPO. In our mid-series update, we informed you that he’d taken down a $200 PLO/NLH mix event for $5,650.
Since then, he won two additional tournaments — Event #38: $400 Deepstack Big O for $9,165 and Event #45: $1,100 8-Game Mix for $20,095. While ho only won smaller field events, winning three tournaments during any series is worthy of mention.
Other high-profile players to win titles during the 2024 Lucky Hearts Poker Open include: Phillip Hui (twice), Neil Blumenfield (Event #44 for $14,561), Upeshka De Silva (Event #46 for $166,725), and Stoyan Madanzhiev (Event #50 for $104,035).
