Willie Wiggins (Miramar, FL) is coming off a career best score, earning third place money in a deal that ended the opening event of the Lucky Hearts Poker Open.

The last time Willie Wiggins (Miramar, FL) was featured on the blog, his winner's photo was being posted for the opening event of the 2018 Isle Poker Open ($200 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack").  Willie topped a ten-way chop of the tournament, earning himself $14,747.  At the time, that was Willie's second largest tournament cash, but he's now changed all of that.  Last week, Wiggins was one of three players to chop the opening event of the Lucky Hearts Poker Open ($360 No Limit Hold'em Ultimate Re-Entry).  This wasn't any run-of-the-mill event...it attracted a total of 4,508 entries, and an overall prize pool of $1,352,400.  His third place money in the chop was worth $176,120, which was more than he career earnings coming into the event.  After failing to bag in the WPT Deepstacks Main Event, Wiggins is now in the Flight 1G field, looking to continue his torrid tournament run.
