Tough tournament as starting field of 400 fights it out
Just on 400 pokerheads assembled to compete in the Heartland Poker Tour Grand Casino Mille Lacs tournament in Onamia, Minnesota last week, with a generous prize pool up for grabs for the skilled and fortunate.
Shakopee, Minnesota player Mike Carlson finally bested the field to take home a $43 600 well earned paycheck.
On his way to victory, Carlson beat out Mike Simon, a Laport, Minn., player who had won the World Poker Tour Season 4 World Poker Challenge in Reno earlier this year.
