Will Failla: Victorious of the 100 th main event of the Heartland Poker Tour
Last weekend, the 100 th main event of the Heartland Poker Tour (HPT) circuit made a stopover in St. Louis, Missouri. Created in 2005, this circuit registered a huge hit among players and became really famous. The HPT is actually one of the most famous tournaments in the United States. During this special edition, organizers brought together a field of 328 players. It must be said that this significant anniversary was celebrated with dignity because of renowned players such as Greg Raymer, the great Phil Hellmuth, Chris Moneymaker, Darvin Moon but also Allen Kessler were present in the poker room of Park River City and Lumiere Casino. With a buy-in of $ 1,650, the prize pool collected rose then $ 476,256 that let the winner walk away with a huge price of $ 119,064. And this kitty was awarded to the American player Will Failla who won the victory after having defeated Brian Nguyen during the final heads'up.
The champion is no longer an unknown in the poker world as he won the trophy of the World Poker Tour Legends of Poker in 2011 and has also already made great achievements in many internationally live tournaments. Currently, "The Thrill" records a gain in tournaments over $ 3.5 million. Brian Nguyen also received a good share of the prize pool totaling $ 67,390 with his second place. William Matula was granted the bronze place and the prize of $ 42,863. Gary Lambert, Robin Parks and Henry Osterkamp finished respectively 4th, 5th and 6th.
