He is an employee, he can continue working in the casino, since many of them, are getting paid very well, but now he also has enough money, to start a poker career He can do both at the end, to have some "sure" money into his pocket.

Massive well done to Jordan Hufty, who took down the $565 buy-in event and won a $61,909 first-place prize. Casino employees work nights, weekends, and even holidays. Hats off to all the hard working men and women!
