Travis Greenawalt (Columbia, PA) - Big Stax 1100 Champion ($111,974)

Even Travis's heads-up opponent gave him a nod at the end of the of the battle, as Greenawalt went from a 3,000,000 chip deficit to champion in a matter of one level.  The final hand saw Greenawalt's pocket jacks trump Perry's K♥ 8♣ after a A♣ A♦ 5♥ 4♣ 9♠ runout.  This is Travis's largest lifetime cash by far, and probably feels really good after finishing runner-up in two major events at Borgata (both Heads-Up events).

The score of $111,974 almost matches his earnings coming into the day, which were a shade under $150,000.  Of the (22) results on his resume, this is the first outright win for Greenawalt, with the two runner-up finishes mentioned earlier.
