WPT $10,400 World Championship Kicks Off Today at 11 a.m. with Day 1A!

After a full year of waiting, the third iteration of the WPT $10,400 World Championship at Wynn in Las Vegas, Nevada kicks off today at 11 AM.

Last year, Dan Sepiol beat Greece’s #1 all-time money list Georgios Sotiropoulos heads-up to take down a career-best score of $5,282,954. As champion, he was also granted a seat this year and will definitely be looking for a title defense.

There will be no guarantee on this event this time around, but judging from the turnout from the previous events, the prize pool will no doubt be a staggering number.
