Jeff Copeland Wins Event #10: $300 6-Max for His Late Father
All eyes may be on the $1,650 Main Event here at the Heartland Poker Tour (HPT) Hollywood St. Louis, but one of the feel-good stories to come out of the stop actually took place on Wednesday night in Event #10: $300 6-Max NLH, a tournament that attracted 143 runners.
Among those to cash the tournament were Keith Heine (5th - $2,042), Terry Stuhldreher (7th - $1,477), and Tyler Hazlett (9th - $1,094), just to name a few.
Meanwhile, poker pro Nick Pupillo, the reigning HPT Player of the Year, proved to be a force to reckon with at the final table, where he actually made it to heads-up play against Jeff Copeland.
For Pupillo, he'd have to settle for second place as the day belonged to Copeland, who took down the title for $9,847.
Copeland was complimentary about his heads-up opponent and explained why the win was so special.
