A self-proclaimed "dinosaur" of the game, T.J. Cloutier rose above all 123 other players who competed in the $5,000 buy-in Scotty Nguyen Poker Challenge at the Cherokee Casino in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and won the first-place prize of almost $241,000.
Cloutier had to get through several big-name pros at the final table, including Bill Edler, Gavin Smith, and the host of event, Scotty Nguyen. Heads-up play came down to Cloutier and Ray Henson, who finished 12th in this year's World Series of Poker main event.
The six-time WSOP bracelet winner added another major title to his belt, as well as another mark on his list of more than 250 major tournament cashes.
