The first winner of Week 3 in the PNDC was New Zealand's Charlton "Charlie" Hawes.

The 32-year-old poker player topped the 841 entry field and claimed the lion's share of the $168,200 prize pool.

Hawes collected $25,495 for the triumph, along with 800 points to put him top of the weekly leaderboard. The windfall marks his fourth career-best cash, some ways behind the $104,702 he won in the 2018 Sydney Championships Main Event.
