Dimmig Downs Teng to Claim Millionaire Maker Title

The second largest live tournament in the history of the game finally came to a conclusion earlier today and when the betting was over it was Jonathan Dimmig who came out on top.

After making his way past more than 7,000 players, Dimmig found himself tussling with the likes of Andrew Teng on the final table of the Millionaire Maker.

Despite players such as Teng having the advantage of experience of Dimmig, the US grinder was able to bide his time as those around him fell.

Indeed, after watching the Andrew Dick and Jason Johnson hit the rail, Dimmig was able to oust Mr. Teng when his pocket deuces made a set  on a Qh Jd 4h 2d board to give Teng’s Qc 9c no chance of redemption.

With the Brit now watching from the rail, Dimmig first had to make a comeback against Jeffrey Coburn before sealing the deal with five heads-up hands.

Having dispatched with Coburn Dimmig was swamped by his fans as the bracelet and $1.3 million was pushed his way.
