Irvine, CA – (Mar. 17, 2025) – ClubWPT™ has officially named Josh Guindon as their first brand ambassador. An ER doctor from Bedford, Massachusetts, Guindon’s poker journey started with low-stakes No Limit Hold’em, but it didn’t take long for him to prove that he belonged among the best. Since joining ClubWPT, he has made deep runs in all four of his first WPT® Championship events, including a final table appearance at the ClubWPT Gold $5 Million Freeroll, where he pulled a $100,000 bounty on top of his 7th place prize of $30,000. Now, he is taking the next step, representing ClubWPT at major WPT events throughout 2025.
Guindon joined ClubWPT after watching an episode of the World Poker Tour® on television. His natural skill and determination led to immediate success when he bested a field of 1,100 players to win a VIP package to the 2022 WPT Venetian Championship. That debut performance resulted in a 48th place finish for $19,700 – just the beginning of what would become a historic run.
Josh Guindon’s WPT Success:
July 2022 – WPT Venetian Championship – 48th place – $19,700
April 2024 – WPT Voyage Championship – 11th place – $24,000
November 2024 – WPT bestbet Jacksonville – 18th place – $16,800
December 2024 – ClubWPT Gold $5 Million Freeroll – 7th place – $30,000 + $100,000 bounty
Guindon’s remarkable run in WPT Championship events has made him the ultimate embodiment of the ClubWPT dream: an everyday player who proves he can compete with the best in the world.
“We are thrilled to welcome Josh as an official ambassador of ClubWPT,” said WPT VP of Online Services Jeremy Clemons. “His story is a perfect example of the pathway that ClubWPT provides for players to chase their poker dreams.”
