In December 2013, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood $1,500 + $150 buy-in Main Event, Kevin Spires entered the final table of 14 as the second shortest stack and successfully climbed the payout ladder. He was eliminated in 8th place, holding pocket sevens against Yuan Yangshen's pocket tens, with no help from the board, earning $19,375.

Seminole Hard Rock Tampa $3,500 Championship

During the same period, in the $3,500 No-Limit Hold'em Championship at Seminole Hard Rock Tampa, Kevin Spires again finished 8th. He moved all-in with pocket tens but ran into chip leader Bill Burdick's pocket aces. The board J-9-8 gave him a straight draw, but the final two cards were a 5 and a 4, no miracle, earning $32,254.
