On Monday, Craig Casino won the Heartland Poker Tour Soaring Eagle Casino for $153,323 and his second career HPT title. He did so by topping a final table that included 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Joe Cada and recent Big Brother reality TV star Vanessa Rousso.
"I love the HPT. It's my home game," said Casino, a certified arborist from Winfield, Illinois who has won more money, been to more final tables (8), and cashed in more tournaments (20) than any other player in HPT history.
