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)

The  inaugural $1,100 Platinum Stack drew 384 entries across two starting flights, crushing its $250k GTD and generating $372,480, which was finally distributed amongst the top 49 players. Bennett earned her seat into this event for just $250, and survived Day 1 in the middle of the pack. Day 2 saw 49 players and went even better for Bennett. By the time the field whittled down to the final table, she had the massive chip lead.

Dessiree Bennett began the final table in a thundering fashion by eliminating Samuel Kim in ninth place and then sending Sean Byars in seventh place. Eliminations continued and a deal was reached during the four-handed play. As Bennett was the chip leader, she was declared the winner. She took home the title and $49,199, while Steve Blackmon, Chad Roedersheimer, and Juan Mubarak took home payouts of $48,675, $41,735 and $40,891 respectively, as part of the four-way deal.

Expressing her feelings, Bennett  said, “This is my first trophy,” said Bennett. “So we’ll find a really nice place for it, because we love the Hard Rock. They always have great tournaments, and we really love it here.”
