Flashback: Harold Brooks Wins SPT Time Square Main Event After Five-Way Deal
Back in August, the 2024 SunBet Poker Tour Time Square Main Event crowned a champion as SPT regular Harold Brooks posed for the winner shots inside of the Time Square Casino in Pretoria after a short-lived day. Brooks cut a deal with four other dealers to claim the largest piece of the ZAR4,926,600 ($266,036) prize pool.
Held in cooperation between South African gaming and entertainment giant Sun International and the Monster Jam Poker Tour (MJPT), the second SPT Time Square Main Event in the current year attracted a field of 391 entries across four starting days. The top 49 finishers earned a cash prize for their efforts, and the final five contenders agreed to deal numbers after a short final day.
For his efforts, Brooks took home ZAR714,287 ($37,857) and Patrice Ah-Nien from Mauritius officially finished in second place, followed by live satellite qualifier Gerrit van der Spoel.
