The 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) has crowned a new Main Event Champion. Daniel Weinman of Georgia bagged the $10,000 WSOP Main Event World Championship, scoring a grand $12,100,000. The 35-year-old poker pro has now carved his name in poker history as the World Champion.
Weinman’s performance in the Main Event was notable. It set a new record by attracting 10,043 players, building a prize pool that touched a massive $93,399,900. Weinman’s win was nothing less than a spectacle. With only two cards separating him from defeat on Day 8, he turned the tables and emerged as a winner, thus staging one of the most critical moments in poker history.
With just 164 hands on the final table, Weinman claimed his victory, making this year’s Main Event the briefest final table in recent times. Day 10 witnessed an even quicker wrap-up. Adam Walton was eliminated in the third place, bagging $4,000,000. The day ended with a short but intense face-off between Weinman and Arizona real estate investor, Steven Jones. Jones’ poker hobby has now earned him an impressive $6,500,000.
The climax was marked by Jones calling a check-raise from Weinman on the jack-high flop. After Weinman continued on the turn, Jones contemplated for over four minutes before challenging Weinman. Weinman, with king-jack, had an upper hand against Jones’ jack-eight. The tension soared as the consequential river card was revealed—an ace. Weinman’s supporters burst into celebration as he secured his prestigious position in the annals of poker.
