Dan Sepiol Wins $5.3M of $40M Prize Money Pool at 2023 WPT World Championship

Dan Sepiol made approximately $5.3 million on Thursday, which is not a bad day at the office.

As Jon Sofen of Poker News detailed, Sepiol won the WPT World Championship that featured a $10,400 buy-in. He won via a heads-up ICM chop during Day 7 of the tournament at the Wynn Las Vegas, which helped him outlast second-place finisher Georgios Sotiropoulos.

Here is a look at the top finishers:

1. Dan Sepiol, $5,282,954
2. Georgios Sotiropoulos, $4,167,246
   
3. Andrew Lichtenberger, $2,798,700
4. Chris Moorman, $2,095,300
5. Ben Heath, $1,583,100

There were 3,835 entrants in the tournament that had a guaranteed prize pool of $40 million.

Andrew Lichtenberger held the lead going into the final day, but Sepiol gradually chipped away with a combination of bluffs and timely plays. It eventually came down to the victor against Sotiropoulos, who went all in with a king and queen.

Sepiol had a king and a three, and he won the hand with a pair of threes.
