Jason Brin is the inaugural World Poker Tour Choctaw Main Event winner after topping a final table that housed World Poker Tour Champions Club members Darren Elias and Andy Hwang.

Champagne bubbles will be flowing like the bends in the household of Jason Brin as he tops a tough final table to win the inaugural World Poker Tour (WPT) Choctaw Main Event.

Brin defeated 1,175 players – a field size that almost guarantees the WPT will return to Choctaw – to capture the first prize of $682,975, denying Darren Elias his third WPT title in just 11-months.

Up until this magical moment Brin was a regular on the Heartland Poker Tour (HPT) and Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT). He had made three HPT final tables, without ever finishing any higher than fifth place, and one MSPT final table appearance finishing fourth. This was his first WPT cash.
