And students now know who to approach about paying off those college loans as Professor Mitch Towner just collected a cool $1.1 million.

6927 players took part in the event, a number equivalent to recent Main Events.  As a result of the high player pool, everyone who made the final table walked away with six figure winnings.

“I’ve only played in like two events that were buy-ins of more than $100,” the 29-year-old Towner confided afterward to a group of reporters who were stunned by the admission that someone with so little experience could outmaneuver such a huge field size.  “I want to give a shout out to some of the podcast guys, and the television coverage I saw on EPT events and others where they talk about hands.  I’m like a casual fan who invests maybe an hour a week in this....I really don’t play poker.”

In an ironic twist, Towner was not even in Vegas to take part in the World Series of Poker.

“I came here for a conference and planned to play just one event.  I might play the Main Event, too,” Towner said.  “But after this, for me, it’s head back to work.”
