Seth Foster - Champion - $59,891


Seth Foster owned the @HPTPoker @BoomtownNOLA final table. Though he started the day 7/9 in chips, he moved up fast, took the chiplead 6-handed and knocked out all the rest of the players the rest of the way in.

Foster called the 4-bet all-in of Allen Kessler on the last hand, turning over 99 to the 55 of Kessler and holding for the win.

Kessler fired five times at this Main Event, most he has ever done in an HPT, and ran it to a second-place finish. Ed Sebesta (3rd) Jon Hart (4th) Phillip Treaudo (5th) Jeff Sager (6th) Eugene Cavaceci (7th) Turk Dursun (8th) and Philip Placzek (9th) rounded out the final table.

The Boomtown New Orleans drew quite a field, with Ari Engel, Maurice Hawkins, Greg Raymer, Rex Clinkscales, Jason Gooch, Dan Lowery, Nick Jovkov, Nick Pupillo and more coming out to make up a 275-entry field.

Next up for HPT is a trip to Colorado at Gates Poker Room in Blackhawk, a location that many times has drawn a prize pool of more than $1 million.
