Despite their online ban, poker is still very much alive in the US, and the Heartland Poker Tour is giving modern poker a real taste of the Wild West.

In a town famous for lawlessness and gun slinging cowboys from the Old West, six poker players filled the Heartland Poker Tour’s final table at the Lucky Nugget Card Club in what can only be described as a good old fashion shootout.

When the smoke cleared after only 64 hands of final table action, Scott Eckert, a painting contractor from Fargo North Dakota, took down the championship, leaving with a first place prize of $64,133, plus a prize package worth $3000 into the year-end HPT Open Championship.
