Ian Nelson, Nhut Nguyen, and Brian Tracy
Ian Nelson, Nhut Nguyen, and Brian Tracy

The opening event of the HPT Hollywood St. Louis tournament series was Event #1: $350 No Limit Hold'em, a tournament that boasted a $200,000 guarantee. With a total of 917 entrants, including a staggering 511 entrants in the final flight, a final prize pool of $275,100 was created, easily beating the guarantee.

94 players were able to walk away with a piece of the prize pool, and a few of those lucky enough to cash include Mary Sturges (19th - $1,876), Charles Wells (38th - $1,290), Corey Fleming (58th - $1,010), Neil Patel (62nd - $1,010), and Mike Rieck (85th - $750).

In the end, the final three players struck a deal that saw Nhut Nguyen ($36,518) take the title and trophy, while Brian Tracy ($37,305) and Ian Nelson ($34,318) left with substantial chunks of the prize pool. Nguyen took the rungood from the opening event win and went on to take down the very next event, Event #2: $300 No Limit Hold'em Heads Up for another $5,224. Nelson wouldn't rest on his laurels either, as he was able to take down Event $7: $300 No Limit Hold'em w/ $100 Bounties for $6,362 later in the series.
