Burlington, North Carolina's Ryan Jones is going to be able to buy a lot of Zack's Hotdogs after the 24-year-old poker player took down the World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah’s Cherokee Main Event for $235,804 for the largest score of his poker career. Jones, who entered the event with a previous career best score of $119,582, took down the title in his home state and also won a seat into the season-ending National Championship where he'll have the chance to play for a lot more cash.

"Winning at home was pretty special for sure," Jones told WSOP officials after the win.
