In a memorable finish to the $25,500 High Roller event at the 2025 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown, Cherish Andrews captured the title and $408,265 following a four-way deal that included her partner, Brock Wilson. The couple walked away with a combined total of over $700,000, as Andrews topped a 70-entry field that generated a $1,729,000 prize pool, far exceeding the $1 million guarantee.
The event featured some of the toughest competition on the tour, but Andrews maintained a dominant presence at the final table and entered four-handed play with a commanding chip lead of 135 big blinds. Shortly after the elimination of Kevin Rabichow in fifth place, the remaining four players, Andrews, Frank Brannan, Wilson, and Clemen Deng, agreed to a deal based on chip counts to secure large payouts and jump into the upcoming $5K Deep Stack event before registration closed.
All Four Deal Participants Lock Up Career-Boosting Scores
As the chip leader, Andrews earned the largest share of the prize pool along with the official title and the coveted SHRPO trophy. This marks her first win in a tournament with a buy-in above $2,200 and her second career Seminole trophy, following her 2023 victory in a $1,100 Deep Stack Turbo event. The six-figure payday also pushes her lifetime live earnings to just over $3.3 million, according to The Hendon Mob.
Frank Brannan, second in chips at the time of the deal with 96 big blinds, secured the second-largest payout at $342,935. His deep run and confident play at a stacked final table earned him a career-best score and a place among the top finishers.
Brock Wilson, Andrews’ partner and a consistent high roller presence, brought 77 big blinds into the deal and locked up $313,410 for third. While Andrews took the title, Wilson added another strong result to his resume, contributing to the couple’s shared earnings of over $700K.
Clemen Deng, the shortest stack among the final four with 44 big blinds, negotiated a payout of $248,990, a well-earned result after a strong showing throughout the tournament. Rather than risk sliding in payout tiers, Deng made the practical choice to secure a six-figure payday and move on to the next event with momentum.
The deal came at a critical time, with registration for the $5,000 Deep Stack nearing its close. With all four players holding healthy stacks and major pay jumps at stake, the agreement allowed everyone to lock in prizes while preserving energy for the next challenge.
Final Chip Counts at the Time of the Deal:
- Cherish Andrews – 2,705,000 (135 BB)
- Frank Brannan – 1,910,000 (96 BB)
- Brock Wilson – 1,530,000 (77 BB)
- Clemen Deng – 885,000 (44 BB)
