Adam Hui secured a spot in the National Championship after locking up the “Casino Championship” at Caesars Palace back in April. He did so by finishing eight in Event #7 $35 NLHE for $3,827; fourth in Event #9 $1,090 NLHE; and fifth in the $1,600 Main Event.
Hui hails from Markham, Ontario and was the only player in the National Championship from outside the United States. He has a total of $224,078 in career earnings with his largest cash coming from the 2010 PokerStars.net Empire State Hold’em Championship where he claimed victory for $115,722. Obviously Hui has the opportunity to surpass that here today.
