Allen Carter (Allen Who?) was the winner of this weekend's WPT Southern Poker Championship.

Carter has now created a name for himself, winning a cool $1 million (the change will be going to the IRS).

The closest anyone recognizable came to winning was Vanessa Rousso, who will be appearing in the upcoming Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. Rousso walked away with $79,1117 after just missing the final table in the number 7 position.

The folks from WickedChopsPoker.com offered their take on the WPT Southern Poker Championship and the final table:

 

Pretty sure this is the biggest Friends & FamilyTM final table in WPT history. Let's just get this out of the way, here are the remaining six: Soheil Shamseddin (3,061,000), Allen Carter (1,673,000), Hilbert Shirey (1,353,000), Tyler Smith (1,271,000), Bobby Suer (651,000), Chuck Kim (386,000).

Another woman, Jena Delk, finished 11th. That wife-beater wearing ginger Justin Smith finished 13th. And Hevad Khan was 14th.

 

And the final payouts were as follows:

 

1.       Allen Carter - $1,025,500

2.       Bobby Suer - $501,028

3.       Soheil Shamseddin - $263,725

4.       Hilbert Shirey - $184,607

5.       Tyler Smith - $134,500

6.       Chuck Kim - $105,490
