New Jersey pro Gregory Brooks made his first major victory in LA this week, seeing off a stacked final table to cash $1,654,120 in only his first WPT event. Full Tilt Poker Review is neutral, but even a neutral review has to acknowledge all of the good things about this online poker website.

Brooks only registered for the event on impulse and saw off big names Vivek Rajkumar and Carlos Mortensen in the final three, ending Mortensen’s hopes of breaking the record for WPT wins.

The Spaniard was gunning for his fourth WPT bracelet, putting him ahead of megastar Gus Hansen, but only landed in third place and $640,680 when Brooks bust him with a rivered flush.

That left 2008 Borgata Open winner and previous WPT champ Rajkumar facing a 4-1 chip deficit, and when the youngster check raised all-in on a 7d-3s-2h board with nothing but Jack-high, Brooks ended the bout when his 7c-8s held up.

Brooks already made two live cashes to his name before this week’s LAPC, but expect to see a lot more of him on the tournament circuit in the coming months.
