Event 10 of the 2023 Moneymaker Tour at Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati was the $1,500 Buy-in NLH Main Event. The event drew 788 entries over four starting days creating a prize pool of $1,040,160 just besting the $1,000,000 guarantee. The event attracted many top professionals from across the country along with a nice mix of local talent as well.

In the end, Joseph Bakun, who came into the final day middle of the pack, won the event outright for $208,034 and received some nice parting gifts including the coveted crystal Moneymaker Trophy, a guitar trophy, a custom Moneymaker Tour Logo painting signed by Chris, the dealer button from the final table, and a new Faded Spade setup!
Congrats Joseph!
