A heart condition won’t get in the way of Michael “Texas Mike” Moncek, who won another poker tournament on Wednesday.

The poker player who isn’t actually a Texan but did attend the University of Texas took down the first PokerGO Cup event of the series, a $5,100 No-Limit Hold’em affair. Beating out 177 entrants inside the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas paid the Illinois native $185,850.

Day 1 concluded on Tuesday with Moncek holding a sizable chip lead over the six other remaining players. Those still with chips returned to action for the livestreamed final table on Day 2, and it was more of the same throughout much of the session, with the Texas Longhorns fan extending his lead early by eliminating Eric Baldwin in seventh place ($35,400) with a rivered flush beating top two pair.
