Las Vegas pro Brock Wilson has broken through for the largest win of his poker career by taking down the first of three $25,000 WPT Alpha8 Trifecta events being offered as part of the ongoing Wynn Summer Classic. Wilson's triumph over a 78-entry field was worth $571,400.
The big payday is the largest cash Wilson has claimed as part of a tourney victory, and it's the second largest live cash of his career, falling just short of the $619,536 he earned in 2019 as the runner-up in the 2019 Party MILLIONS Super High Roller in Nassau.
The win moves Wilson to just under $8 million in recorded live-event winnings. More than $1.2 million of that total has come in World Poker Tour events.
Wilson's victory came at the expense of Seth Gottleib, who earned $380,900. Artur Martirosian finished third for $253,900, while Matthias Eibinger placed fourth for $176,400. Ten players cashed in a tourney that ultimately offered a $1,864,200 prize pool.
