John Gallaher won the last WPT Trophy of the night along with $28,610 in prize money as the champion of Event 29 to bring a late night in the tournament series to an end. Here is what he had to say after the victory.
“This is my very first WPT, and I love it. I bagged in the Main, got 200th, didn’t cash, but I loved it. There was a great structure, I loved the payouts. “I’ve enjoyed this whole stop, it’s well run. ” said Gallaher.
“It’s a very nice casino, I’m still trying to figure out my way around the casino. I love that they do several different events besides just the big ones, because that’s nice to have some opportunities to play,” said Gallaher about his overall experience at the property here in Tampa.
“My girlfriend and I have reservations at Bern’s Steakhouse tomorrow night, which is the top steakhouse maybe in the country, or close to it. I have the day off tomorrow, and we’re going to a nice steakhouse dinner, so that will be a nice way to celebrate,” said Gallaher. He booked the steakhouse before the tournament began, so he kind of called his shot with the celebratory dinner.
