Who knew playing friendly poker at the pub could lead to a six-figure payday?
That's just what it meant to Edward Holt from the Eastern Poker Tour, the latest winner of the Bar Poker Open Championship. Holt took home the $100k first-place prize after besting the field of 1,053 players.
"It feels great, surreal," he told Joey Ingram in a post-win interview. "I have no words. I don't know what to say, I'm almost about to cry."
