An underdog emerged as champion in the $2,650 buy-in, $500,000 guaranteed event at Lucky Hearts Poker Open when recreational grinder Ryan Dunn topped a final table that included a World Series of Poker Main Event champ, multiple gold bracelet winners, a Heartland Poker Tour Player of the Year, and a former Florida State Poker Championship winner.
Dunn banked $140,000 for winning the reentry event at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., which totaled 185 players and fell short of the guarantee, meaning there was an overlay in the prize pool.
