The Million Dollar Man Returns
Poker pro Jonathan Dimmig is making his long-awaited return to his home casino in Niagara Falls, NY this week. Needless to say, his life is a bit different now than the last time he stepped foot inside the Seneca Niagara poker room two years ago.
In June, Dimmig won the $1,500 Millionaire Maker event at the World Series of Poker, outlasting a massive field of 7,977 entries to collect more than $1.3 million. The Buffalo, NY native earned the first seven-figure score of his career in front of a group of close-knit poker players from the Niagara Falls area, all of whom were on his rail throughout the final table.
Dimmig, who moved to Las Vegas in 2012 to pursue poker full time, has already received a warm welcome home this week for the annual Summer Slam series. Dimmig has taken his seat in the Main Event looking to add another chapter to his successful poker story.
We sat down with Dimmig late last month to talk about how he got started playing poker, his connection to the Seneca Niagara poker room, and how his bold decision to turn pro paid off. Check out the full interview here at PokerNews.com.
