|
Jonathan Hilton has won the third annual World Series of Poker National Championship, topping the field of 127 to take home his first WSOP gold bracelet, the $355,599 first-place prize and 660 Card Player Player of the Year points.
After finishing runner-up to Dominik Nitsche for a bracelet in 2012, Hilton was able to overcome 2012 WSOP $1,000 no-limit hold’em bracelet winner Max Steinberg to win this title. Other notables who made the final table include two-time bracelet winner Brock Parker, bracelet winner Joe Tehan and 2012 WSOP main event fifth-place finisher Jeremy Ausmus.
The National Championship topped off the 2012-13 WSOP Circuit season, with a total of 100 players winning their entry by either capturing a circuit main event title, being the casino champion at one of the stops or by making the top 60 of the circuit leader board. With a $1,000,000 added for those players free of charge, members of the the WSOP Player of the Year top 100 were also able to play, but they had to buy-in for $10,000, which would be added to the prize pool. All 100 qualifiers took their seats, and 27 players opted to buy-in, building a total prize pool of $1,270,000.
