Jim 'Rockin Holdem' Hagan Sets Potential Record with 21 Final Tables in October
Jim 'Rockin Holdem' Hagan, a 59-year-old automotive designer from Detroit, Michigan, has taken the poker scene at Texas Card House in Spring, Texas, by storm. In just under a month, Hagan has made an astonishing 21 low-stakes final tables, setting a potential record for live final tables in October.
Hagan's poker journey began earlier this year when his client list dried up, leading him to take up the game seriously. He started playing $40 buy-in daily tournaments, attracting between 50 and 110 players each day. His impressive run includes one victory and two runner-up finishes, with winnings ranging from $200 to $1,100.
Before this remarkable performance, Hagan had not been documented to have won specific poker tournaments. However, his live poker earnings now total $74,112, boosted by a 15th-place finish in a $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo event at the 2017 WSOP, where he won $10,276.
Hagan's intensity and dedication to the game have drawn comparisons to Jeremy Becker's eight Wynn tournament wins in a month in 2023. Hagan himself finds inspiration in Daniel Negreanu's grit and perseverance. Despite his recent success, Hagan continues to support his family, including his 11-year-old son, through poker and Uber driving.
Jim 'Rockin Holdem' Hagan's domination of daily tournaments at Texas Card House is a testament to his skill, dedication, and perseverance. With a potential record for live final tables in October and total live earnings of $74,112, Hagan has proven himself a force to be reckoned with in the poker world. As he continues to support his family through his winnings, Hagan's future in poker looks bright.
