The WPT Main Event has big prizes, which means that it draws some of the best of the poker world. Here at Playground Poker Club we have seen some of those big names take their seats, including 2010 WSOP Main Event Champion Jonathan Duhamel.
Other notables at the tables in the early going include Carter Swidler, a local pro and online beast. Just last month (September 2018) he final tabled a WSOP Circuit event, the $500 + $50 Pot Limit Omaha tournament.
At the table with him is Maria Konnikova, a Brooklyn native and a great player in her own right. She finished in the money on a half dozen tournaments this summer, and final tabled two tournaments in one week in Macau this March, coming in 2nd place in the Hong Kong $20,000 No Limit Hold’em event.
So if you want to test your mettle against the best in the business, come down to Playground and have at it. Pro or amateur, we wish good luck to all the players sitting at the tables today!
