Despite his online name, "lost cause" did not give up on the $100k Guaranteed online poker tournament last night in the Bodog Poker room. In fact, he took down the whole thing making himself $25,000 richer at the same time.

However, what many may not know is that "lost cause" had every reason to expect to be at the top of the 729-person field and not give up. "lost cause" is actually the online handle for poker pro Aaron Kanter, who is most famous for his $2,000,000 payday for finishing fourth in the Main Event at the 2005 WSOP, the year that Joe Hachem won. He also final tabled this same online tournament earlier this year.

Also at this final table was Bodog regular "HerschelWalker," who finished fourth in the $100k last week. Here are all of the final table placings and payouts.

1. lost cause – $25,000
