$$$ A big winner in Smyrna. $$$

While his name may not be well known in town right now, his winning might be. Bryan Sumner, a resident of Smyrna Tennessee, has won the world poker open in Tunica.

Bryan Sumner defeated Daniel Negreanu last night to win the WPT's World Poker Open and claim his first major title and over $900,000 in cash.

Sumner is a professional online cash game player from Smyrna, Tennessee, who traveled to Tunica for the side game action. On a whim, he entered a $1,000 satellite to the main event; a decision that would eventually prove life-changing.

He is a professional online cash player. With that being illegal now I hope his career in live playing is as successful as he was in this tournament.

HERE is a live interview(embedded video) with him before the end of the tournament.

Also. If Mr. Sumner comes across this post and would like to be interviewed by local people, drop us a line in comments or email us please.
