Well, that didn't take long. Before the players went on their first break in the $3,500 buy-in World Poker Tour (WPT) Main Tour event at Seminole Hard Rock Tampa, the $1 million guarantee had surpassed.
Defending champion Brian Altman, who won this event in June 2021 for $613,225, the first ever WPT event hosted at the Central Florida card room, was off to an unsurprisingly strong start.
Altman, one of the rare three-time WPT champions, is an absolute crusher in the state of Florida.
