The $400 H.E.R.O.S. tournament drew a great crowd of 82 entries for a prize pool worth $27,470. After a tough final table, Sam Sternfield captured his second major Tampa title for $8,110.

Sternfield captured the $300 H.O.R.S.E. title during the 2021 Tampa Winter Poker Open and also has three major titles in Hollywood, one of a handful of players with wins at both properties.
