Back in June, the Bar Poker Open Vegas World Championship saw 1,164 players battle at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, Nevada. A total of six clubs were represented in the final eight contenders, chasing the big first-place prize and the trophy.

The heads-up match guaranteed that New York Free Poker would be taking home the title and after a match of many lead changes, it was Miguel "The Mountain" Medrano who claimed a career-best score of $100,000.

"It's very exciting, it hit me when I saw the brick river," the still excited Medrano said in his interview after the win. He also talked about his experience playing with Patrick Martorella, a man who he plays with a decent amount back in New York. "I'm terrified of Patrick, I stay away from him back home. But in the end I was lucky. All luck, no skill. It takes two years to get this lucky."

Medrano was supported by a steady and large rail of supporters throughout the whole tournament. "I love all of you! I really do! I played my game, I hit my cards. I told myself, if I win I win and if I lose I lose."
