Drew Dodge

The 2024 Pinktober Poker Open series was headlined by the $1,100 buy-in PPO Championship, which featured a $200,000 guaranteed prize pool. The tournament drew 296 entries, and Tampa favorite Drew Dodge outlasted Eli Kiwan heads-up to take the title and $59,690.

“I’m so hyped,” Dodge said after the win. “I’ve been trying to get a win for a couple years now and to finally get a win, it’s awesome.”

“It’s a big one. I came in second a few times and for the first to be this big, it’s surreal.”

Dodge had a few big close calls, including a runner-up in the recent Tampa Signature Poker Series and one spot away from winning his first WSOP Circuit ring last week.

Congrats to Drew and thank you to everyone who made the PPO Championship a success!

Final table results:

1st: Drew Dodge – $59,690 + PPO Trophy
2nd: Eli Kiwan – $39,650
