Brian Landon triumphed at the Mid-States Poker Tour in St. Louis on February 23, taking home a prize of $102,765, a milestone in his poker career. The tournament attracted 630 entries, surpassing the anticipated prize pool to reach $605,720. Noteworthy competitors included Askia Ingram and WSOP winner Blair Hinkle. Despite starting the final table second in chips, Landon skillfully eliminated multiple opponents. In heads-up play, he faced a significant chip deficit but managed a comeback, ultimately winning with a pair, and capping off an incredible performance.
"It's amazing, I never thought I could do this, but I guess I was wrong," said Landon after the win.
There were 630 entries made over three starting flights in the $1,110 buy-in no-limit hold'em poker tournament, which built a final prize pool of $605,720.
Landon scored a double up in the first major hand between the final two, and he sealed the deal a short time later.
The notables that made a deep run through the tournament included Askia Ingram, Andy Rogowski, and World Series of Poker gold-bracelet winner Blair Hinkle.
