Skreens Wins Majestic Star $1100

Just moments after the LiveStream crashed, and Gary Herstein negotiated a way to close out the America’s Poker Tour $1100 Main Event at Majestic Star Casino in Gary, IN.

Bryan Skreens cashes for $39,000 and the Majestic Star title, while Herstein takes home $30,000 and the America’s Poker Tour $3k championship package that includes travel and a future Championship Event entry TBD. has just about a 2-1 advantage as heads-up play was about to begin. The deal came before any heads-up hands played out.

Too bad there was a crash, as the LiveStream crew was filming the talks between the two players, with TD Luis Rodriguez then interviewing both player on camera about the decision and how they reached it.
