Poker pro Marc Levy of Boynton Beach prevailed in the heavyweight division of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino monthly main event poker tournament.

Levy collected $27,650 in the field of 79 Saturday. (That's him in the photo, with his winning hand of pocket kings -- nice way to win one.)

Franklin Rojas of Plantation won the $575-entry cruiserweight division Wednesday, which drew 71 entrants. He cashed for $12,425.

Jose Torres of Cooper City took down the middleweight division Aug. 10, which cost $350 and drew 140. He earned $13,440.

It's been a hot week for Levy, one of South Florida's nice guys of poker. He was among six players who chopped first prize at the Isle on Monday in the $440 tournament, each garnering $6,133.
