On Tuesday, the first Main Tour champion of the 2023 World Poker Tour (WPT) season will be crowned at Thunder Valley Casino Resort in Northern California, and it could be WPT announcer Tony Dunst, who bagged a big stack at the conclusion of Day 3 on Monday.
Only six of the original 590 entrants at $3,500 buy-in WPT Rolling Thunder — most in the tournament's history — still have a shot at the $361,660 first-place prize. Alejandro Jauregui, a 2021 Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) champion, holds the chip lead in his first ever WPT cash.
