"This is a dream come true, my previous best cash before this was $8,700 so I'm feeling on top of the world," said Murray to reporters after the win.
"To say that I came in first place out of 2,819 is honestly a lot to take in, but I've been working on my game for years now and it just means a lot to me to be called a champion," said the new champ to end the interview.
The $1,110 buy-in no-limit hold'em poker tournament attracted an impressive field of 2,819 entries, creating a prize pool worth $2,733,830 that demolished the $1 million guarantee.
Murray became that champion, and he picked a good time to do so with a payday worth $295,494 up top.
