Dreams of College Fill Canadian’s Poker Victory
When Jack Hinchey of Ontario made it deep in the Barcelona poker tournament known as the World Poker Crown, his main goal was to win enough money to pay for a university education, but not for himself: Jack wanted to put his granddaughter Victoria through college with his winnings. In the end Hinchey managed to get the funds he needed and more, taking home a $1 million payday with his World Poker Crown victory. Hinchey has been playing poker for more than three decades, but his full time job is as a plumbing repair man.
