Casino Regina Recent Winners List

The fourth and final event in the 2018 Station Poker Classic is now in the books, and John Ludwig is the latest Casino Regina championship ring winner. The win marked Ludwig's second career ring from Casino Regina after he took down the third event of the 2017 Diamond Poker Classic, and his fourth win overall.

The Main Event was the most popular event of the entire week. After fields for the first three events coming in around 210 entries, the Main Event soared past that. When everything was counted up, 237 entries were recorded for the Main Event, which created a $237,000 prize pool to be divided between 23 players.

It was a long day of poker, with the final cards being dealt more than 16 hours after cards first went in the air. They made it through to the money bubble fairly quickly when Joe Ranalli burst the bubble a little more than 10 hours after action began. It would be another three hours before the final table was decided, and in the meantime, several notable players hit the cash out cage, including Cindy Kerslake, Joe Ranalli, Curtis Vigoren, andShane Brotherwood.
