Lynn Norris stuns with first poker tournament win after epic comeback

Lynn Norris has claimed her first live poker tournament victory in just her third recorded cash. The win came after a dramatic comeback at the final table, where she overcame a strong field. Meanwhile, Michael St. Pierre-Porter secured his fourth PPT diamond of 2025 in a separate 6-Max event.

Norris faced early pressure in the final table, falling behind after being outchipped. But she fought back, landing a straight to eliminate Ryan Sanders. Her victory was even more impressive given the competition—she defeated the defending champion and three other players from September’s final table.

Norris’s victory marks a significant milestone in her poker hands career, proving her skill in a competitive field. St. Pierre-Porter’s continued success in 2025 further solidifies his position as a top player. Both wins highlight the intensity and unpredictability of live tournament poker.
