Minh Ly Wins Doyle Brunson Poker Championship
In the end it was Dan Harrington and Minh Ly heads up at the Festa al Lago IV poker event, the final event for the Doyle Brunson North American Classic. With one million dollars on the line, it was Ly who emerged the winner, having beaten not only Harrington but 420 other players who entered the $10,000 event. Along with the prize money, Ly will get a free seat worth $25,000 at the World Poker Tour Championships, set to be held at the Bellagio in April of next year.
Dan Harrignton wasnt the only other pro to be disappointed, as Chris Jesus Ferguson, Andy Block, Barry Greenstein, Erick Lindgren, Chip Reese Howard Lederer, Jennifer Harman, Johnny Chan and Doyle Brunson himself all taking a shot….
