Since August 2023, Momtaz “Monty” Alsbaini has been quietly working toward a pursuit few players ever reach, saving his Lucky North Rewards points until he hit an incredible 1,000,000. Over that time, Monty logged an astounding 15,000 hours at the poker tables, turning each hand into a step closer to his goal.
The journey was not without challenges. During this period, Monty faced and overcame significant health concerns. His return to the felt was not just about cards and chips; it was about reclaiming his passion and proving his resilience.
This week, Monty’s patience and dedication paid off. His million-point milestone is worth $5,000 in cash or $6,250 in food and beverage credit. As a proud Black Diamond card holder, Monty already knows exactly how he will use his reward: he is taking his son on a special trip to Fontainebleau Las Vegas, a Lucky North Rewards partner property.
Congratulations, Monty. You have shown us that determination, heart, and a love for the game can turn big dreams into reality.
