Redemption has been had, and the big, bad, live victory monkey is no longer on the back of Daniel Weinman. On Monday night, the professional poker pro earned the largest live score of his career by taking down the 2015 World Series of Poker Circuit Cherokee Main Event to the tune of $280,260.

| 1 | Daniel Weinman | Atlanta, GA | $280,260 |
| 2 | Edward LeBlanc | Atlanta, GA | $173,286 |
| 3 | Kelly Andrews | Florence, SC | $128,775 |

For a man who entered the event with over $900,000 in career live tournament earnings, it might come of a surprise that Weinman had only landed a six-figure prize one prior time.
