Last summer in Las Vegas, the Bar Poker Open Championship saw 1,164 players battle to become the newest BPO champion here at the Golden Nugget. A total of six clubs were represented among the final eight, as each player was chasing the $100,000 first-place prize and the trophy.

The heads-up match would see a guarantee that New York Free Poker would be taking home the title and after a match of many lead changes, it was Miguel "The Mountain" Medrano who took home the title and a career-best score.

"It's very exciting, it hit me when I saw the brick river," the still excited Medrano said in his interview after the win. He also talked about his experience playing with Patrick Martorella, a man whom he plays a decent amount with back in New York. "I'm terrified of Patrick, I stay away from him back home. But in the end, I was lucky. All luck, no skill. It takes two years to get this lucky."
