Adam Weinraub emerged victorious from a field of 728 total entries to win the April running of the 2019 Card Player Poker Tour Ocean’s Eleven San Diego Classic.

The 2007 World Poker Tour Celebrity Invitional champion earned $32,212 for taking down this event, bringing his career live tournament earnings to $730,877. At the final table the Orange, California resident was wearing a shirt emblazoned with the title of the movie he produced, Walk To Vegas. The movie was co-written by WPT commentator Vince Van Patten, who also stars in the film.

Weinraub was one of the 51 direct entries into day 2 of this event made for $1,500. The day 2 players joined the 677 entries made over the six starting flights to build a final prize pool of $201,700, which was awarded to the top 98 finishers.

Plenty of notables made the money but failed to survive to the final table, including former champion Barry Seidman (95th – $400), Bobby Suer (82nd – $425) and two-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Erick Lindgren (23rd – $1,355).

A number of big names made it to the final table in this event, including 2014 WPT Legends of Poker main event runner-up finisher Mike Eskandari. He went on to finish sixth for $7,320. Bicycle Casino Tournament Director Mo Fathipour, who pioneered the Quantum Tournament format that this tournament utilizes, finished fifth for $9,500.

In the end, it came down to a heads-up showdown between Weinraub and Jason Cohen. Weinraub was able to close out the tournament, sending Cohen home with $26,868 as the runner-up finisher.
