Sean Winter wins the Purple Jacket
Winter takes down the 7th ever Purple Jacket after a week where he won $1.2 million across ten high stakes tournaments.
The Poker Masters concluded like most things do, with a Jason Koon victory, but it was Sean Winter who took down the coveted Purple Jacket for most consistent player.
Koon emerged victorious in the $50,000 finale for $666,000, but Winter had a better week overall.
He won the penultimate $25,000 event for $432,000 and also came 2nd in two prior events. In total he pulled in $1,282,700 over the ten events to win the jacket and a further $50,000.
