Eight months ago, Landon Tice and Dylan Smith stood smiling among a group of six players posing for a championship event final table photo in the back of the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood ballroom. Last night, they did the exact same thing.
Tice and Smith both final-tabled April's World Poker Tour Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship, which played out the following month at the HyperX ESports Arena in Las Vegas. Smith was the chip leader but bowed out in a disappointing fifth-place finish, while Tice finished runner-up to come just short of his first WPT title.
Wednesday's 2024 WPT Seminole Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open Championship final table, which is currently underway and available to watch on stream, is a shot at redemption for both Florida grinders.

In an interview at the conclusion of Day 3, Tice reflected on his "really great result" in the SHRPH Championship that earned him $550,000 and said he is "somehow having great fortune again" in his home state.
“The cards are what they are," Tice told PokerNews. "I’m obviously very fortunate to get to this point in the tournament. (I've) won on a lot of all-ins, I’ve been a great all-in player after the summer.”
“(I'm) just trying to make good decisions and see what happens. But if I can improve on the last WPT score, there’s only one way to do it. So I’m definitely hopeful but realistic.”
Doing better this time around was also on Smith's mind, who told PokerNewsat the end of Day 4 that “it was disappointing coming in with the major chip lead and then going out fifth."

"I feel very lucky to be able to potentially get redemption this quickly. So hopefully first this time.”
Personal Growth & Friendships
While his early 20s were spent almost exclusively in the lab, Tice is spending his mid-20s growing as a person. He co-hosts the award-winning Only Friendspodcast, is a creator for Solve For Whyand dedicates himself to fitness. He also has a girlfriend, Mallory Folsom, who was on the rail with Tice's siblings, parents and fluffy white cat during Wednesday's final table.
"The balance is really tough," Tice said. "I’ve been kind of out of playing some stuff I would like to play online just because of good life things happening. Trying to find a balance between having relationships outside of poker … as well as putting in time for MTTs, as well as finding time for fitness. It’s hard because not everything is going to be able to fall into place. But at the same time, it feels like everything’s falling into place just by doing what I’m doing.”

If he can't win the RRPO Championship, he hopes his fellow back-to-back final tablist can take it down. “Dylan wants some redemption from the final table in April. So I hope he gets it. Better than fifth, but not first. So we can both do a little better.”
The feeling was mutual. “Landon’s just a chill guy," Smith said. "We’re very friendly. We’re about to grab some food now to celebrate. Apart from wanting myself to win, I’d root for Landon.”
The two clashed early in a devastating cooler that saw Tice running ace-king into aces to be left with crumbs. Despite the cooler, Tice had to appreciate the chips going to Smith, who now finds himself in a good position to win the title and $662,200 first-place prize.

- Think about creating a methodical strategy that suits you in order to efficiently track discarded cards.

- Building a mindset that values patience and strategic thinking is crucial for long-term success because rummy can be a demanding game with many unexpected turns. Prior to beginning a gaming session, think about using strategies like deep breathing or mindfulness exercises to improve focus. These exercises can help you focus and declutter your mind, which will improve your ability to read your opponent's movements and control your hand. Resilience and adaptability can also be developed as you progress through each round by keeping a positive outlook, even in trying circumstances. By putting mental acuity & emotional stability first, you'll be more prepared to handle the challenges of Rummy and win. 25-05-30
- In order to meld their cards into these combinations and eventually lower the total value of their unmatched cards, players must comprehend the game's rules and objectives. The number of decks used varies based on the particular variant being played, and the game can be played with two or more players. Rummy's strategic depth is its fundamental component. In addition to concentrating on their own hands, players need to be alert to what their opponents are doing.

- Dropping enables players to reduce their losses when they think they have no chance of winning or when their hand is weaker than their opponents'. You must have a thorough awareness of the game's dynamics and the potential of your hand in order to determine when it's time to drop. It could be wiser to drop early rather than take the chance of earning points if you find yourself holding onto valuable unmatched cards with little chance of creating valid combinations. When it comes to dropping out of a round, timing is everything. It might be prudent to consider whether it is worth the risk to continue if you believe that one or more opponents are on the verge of winning based on their discards or draws. 25-05-30

- This entails being willing to modify your plan in response to the cards you draw and the moves your opponents make. For example, it could be advantageous to switch to forming a set if you were initially aiming for a particular sequence but couldn't find the required cards. The ability to adjust may be crucial for keeping up the game's momentum and making sure you're constantly trying to lower the value of your unmatched card. One essential component of rummy that has a big impact on the game's outcome is discarding. In addition to having an impact on your hand, the cards you decide to discard give your opponents insight into your approach. 25-05-30
