Latest Heartland Poker Tour Event ConcludesHPT Sets New Records in at the Majestic Star Casino |
|
The Heartland Poker Tour (HPT) was designed to give all poker players a shot at "the big time." Modest buy-ins, televised final tables, big prize pools, and events in casinos all over the country make it possible for anyone to stake a claim in a major poker tournament. The founders imagined people just like Dan Zogman winning their events.
Zogman is the most recent HPT winner. He is a 47-year-old Home Depot employee from McHenry, Illinois, who parlayed a $100 satellite into nearly $228,000 and his 15 minutes of fame.
The Majestic Star Casino in Gary, Indiana hosted the championship tournament. It was a $2,200 buy-in that attracted 442 entrants. Players battled through the three-day tournament for their piece of the $816,612 prize pool. New records were set for player participation and prize money.
The following are the final table payouts:
The next HPT event begins on Aug. 20 at the Grand Casino Mille Lacs in Minnesota. For more information on the tour, go to www.heartlandpokertour.com.
