Lloyd Hemingway
While his brother locked up a spot in the Global Casino Championship and is playing for the Choctaw Main Event title, Lloyd Hemingway took down the $400 no-limit hold'em bounty event. It's the second ring won by the Hemingway's this series after Jared took down the $400 no-limit hold'em six-max event.
"I thought I had accomplished something," said Jared with a laugh from the final table of the main event as he found out that his little brother won a ring. "But It turns out that anybody can win these things."
The younger Hemingway brother defeated a 217-entry field to earn $12,478 along with all of the $100 bounties he racked up along the way.
