Tommy Nefcy Wins 2022 Bar Poker Open Championship at Golden Nugget Las Vegas ($37,115)

The 2022 Bar Poker Open Championship at the Golden Nugget Las Vegas has come to an end after four days of action. Tommy Nefcy found himself as the last man standing, defeating a player pool of 1,240 entries and taking home the top prize of $37,115.

The invite-only BPO Championship, which qualified players via bar leagues across the country, was action-packed from the get-go, with the first of three flights reaching a total of 531 entries. Of those 531 players, 54 players made the min-cash of $500 but only 26 found a bag at the end of the night, advancing to Day 2.
