Joe Ebanks reached a deal with Jeremy Detamore before he became the new Hollywood Poker Open champion, winning the HPO Columbus $1,115 Regional Main Event at the stop and earning $49,928 in first-place prize money.

"I got crazy lucky," said Ebanks in regards to the hand he busted Chris Meyers on in seventh place, which helped propel him to victory.

On that hand, Meyers and Ebanks were all in preflop for a pot worth 1.8 million in chips. Meyers had the {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} against the {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} of Ebanks. Ebanks flopped a Broadway straight when the dealer put out the {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, and dodged a flush draw on the turn and a chop on the river to knock out Meyers. Meyers was one of five players he busted at the final table.

Jeff Gregg was one of those five players, and Ebanks busted him when he flopped a king with the {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} against Gregg's {a-Spades}{10-Spades}. Ebanks also eliminated fourth-place finisher Greg Yeager when he had the {j-Spades}{10-Spades} against Yeager's {k-}{k-} and flopped trips before turning a full house.

"I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to call in those spots," said Ebanks. "My hands should have equity against their ranges."

Ebanks busted Bill Khourie in third place after he made a flush on a board that showed a five-card straight and got paid off. He then turned a straight against Khourie when the two were all in preflop a few hands later.

The win is the fifth tournament win of Ebanks career and his lifetime earnings are approaching $3.2 million, according to Hendon Mob.

In addition to the first-place prize money and trophy, Ebanks was awarded a $2,500 seat to the season-ending HPO Championship Event at the M Resort in Las Vegas. That event will take place June 23-26.
