After 13 hours of play in the $1,110 buy-in Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) 2022 Ohio State Poker championship at JACK Casino Cleveland, it was Minnesota native John Dennehey who ended up striking a deal heads-up with Dustin Mcelhaney for $155,933 and the title. Mcelhaney took second place for $133,058.
“I just feel elated right now,” said an exhausted Dennehey, “I just played my hands.”
The Minnesota native has been playing the game recreationally for over 20 years and turned to tournaments within the past three years.
