WPT Spring Festival Overlays Big, Awards ~$270K to Winner

Over the weekend, a World Poker Tour champion was crowned, but it wasn't a big name like tour legend Darren Elias or out-of-nowhere story like Ilyas Muradi taking it down.

In fact, it wasn't a real name at all.

That's because the WPT Spring Festival Main Event victory by "DannyAce66" came via Poker King, a little-known — to most Western poker players — app that the WPT appears to be utilizing as a platform going forward for Asia-focused events.
