The Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg, Indiana recently hosted it's latest tournament poker series, the Tri-State Poker Championship, and Ohio native John Nelson was crowned Main Event Champion.
By winning the TSPC, Nelson (2012 PTPR Rank: T-138th) has collected his first PTPR Points of the 2012 season, along with his 81K paycheck.
Although this is his largest single-event score, Nelson is no stranger to scooping up big wins on the poker circuit - Nelson collected a little over 100K back in November-December, collected a first and a second place finish at two prelim events at the 2011 Five Diamond World Poker Classic in Las Vegas.
