Chino Rheem has won the first-ever Epic Poker League Main Event after outlasting Erik Seidel in the heads-up play. Rheem earned a cool million dollars for his win.

In the last hand of the tournament Seidel’s A-Q was no match for Rheem’s A-K.

Seidel took home $604,330 for finishing in second place and has now won already well over six million dollars this year from live tournaments.

Many high profile poker pros, like Ben Lamb, Tom “durrrr” Dwan and Joseph Cheong have claimed recently, that the newly crowned champion Chino Rheem has money owed to them.

It will be now interesting to see will the ex November Niner decide to pay at least some of his debts back after winning a million dollars.
