Mike May of West Palm Beach was the last man standing Sunday in the main event of the Palm Beach Kennel Club Poker Classic.

May won $18,965. The win also carried enough points to make him "Player of the Year." So he gets another 5 grand.

The $500 tournament carried a $50,000 guarantee, which the kennel club had no problem meeting -- there were 281 entrants. That made for a prize pool of $126,450.

Actually, if May hadn't finished 12th on Monday, he would have lost out Player of the Year to John Kleywegt, who won on Monday and cashed later in the week. May's 148 points Monday plus 612 on Sunday gave him 760. Kleywegt had 630.

The results from Sunday:

1) Mike May / West Palm Beach $18,965 plus $5,000 for Player of the Year
2) Jeremy Osbourne / Port St. Lucie $17,275
3) Paul Brettler / Ft. Lauderdale $14,975
4) Eric Brewster / Jupiter $11,890
5) Andrew (AJ) Kellsall / Tampa $10,480
6) Al Zeitler / North Palm Beach
7) Don Cook / West Palm Beach
8) Billy Campbell / Palm Beach Gardens
9) Jason Greenburg / West Palm Beach
10) Tim Bannigan / Delray Beach
11) Ken Weiner / Wellington
12) Spider McCarthy / West Palm Beach

About the author
Maybe you've made the right play, maybe you haven't. Your heart speeds up, your stomach rumbles.

That's why it's called gambling.

ACTION is a view of the numbers, the psychology and the flavor of gambling here in South Florida, through our lens.

We do have one sure bet. There's something here for you.

NICK SORTAL began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr. Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood Hold 'Em game in Plantation. I have been given the assignment of writing about the gambling life in South Florida casinos for the Sun-Sentinel...which means sitting around watching poker on TV now counts as research.
