Poker pro Blair Hinkle, 27, has every reason to celebrating after taking the number one spot in the $10 million guaranteed Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open resulting in a $1,745,245 win on Wednesday.
The live poker tourney is deemed the richest in Florida with a $5,300 buy-in and a prize pool of $11,920,000 that took nearly a week before it was won by Hinkle.
Chip leader Hinkle faced off at the final table with Justin Bonomo, Mukul Pahuja, Ray Qartomy, Samuel Bernabeau Guilabert and Greg Lehn.
Hinkle and Justin Bonomo were equal in their stacks at the start of the heads up. The two pros showed the level of skill that they both possess but in the end Hinkle managed to build a 6 to 1 advantage and won.
Bonomo took the number two spot with a staggering $1,163,500 prize.
This win boosted Hinkle's career win to $3.5 million.
