Back to the Hard Rock
In September of 2023, the Moneymaker Tour took its road show to Cincinnati for the first time. The $1,500 Main Event drew a field of 788 players and saw Joseph Bakun rise above the rest to claim the $208,034 top prize.
Bakun managed to outmaneuver WSOP Main Event champions Chris Moneymaker and Joe McKeehen on his way to victory, making the impressive win all the more special.
Joseph Bakun won the Moneymaker Cincinnati Main Event“After an amazing series last September, we are excited to return to Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati,” said Tony Burns, Executive Manager of the Moneymaker Tour. “Continuing to partner with one of the most recognizable brands in the world amplifies our reach, resonates with our audience, and rocks our business to a whole other level.”
PokerOrg recently spoke to Burns about the Moneymaker Tour's growth spurt and its continued drive to generate new Moneymaker-esque stories for the poker community. The champ himself has been making headlines on the tables as well, finishing sixth in ACR's Venom for $380K before winning the Triton GG Million$ and the Enjoy Poker Main Event in Uruguay.
