This weekend’s HPT St. Louis Main Event is the culmination of a whole festival of tournaments, which actually kicked off over a week ago.
One of those tournaments was Event #5: $125 Thousandaire Maker, which drew 121 entrants and created a $12,100 prize. All the players had to do was finish in the top 12 to win $1,000, while the 13th-place finisher – which was ultimately Owen Hunn – received the leftover $100.
Among those to win $1,000 were former Jeopardy! contestant Jeff Grimes, Thomas Gillman, and John Denk, just to name a few.
