The event drew in 694 entries and a prize pool of $312,300. Hagerty pulled in $67,207 for his efforts and spoke with USPoker about the win.
“I never thought that it would be possible but it was really a surreal feeling,” he said. “I was super excited especially after bricking most of the events prior to this and the KO [Event 22], but I look forward to chasing more and hopefully winning one live this fall.”
