2023 WPT World Championship

That's it from Wynn Las Vegas and we're now going to drag ourselves back home for Christmas. That's going to seem like an anti-climax after what we've seen this week.

The 2023 WPT World Championship was a fantastic tournament from start to finish, and Dan Sepiol fully deserves the win. He played brilliantly from start to finish, with the big bluff against Andrew Lichtenberger early on setting the tone for what was to come.

He never lost the momentum and is a worthy champion.

We'll see you in 2024!
