Ryan Tosoc entered the 2017 WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic Main Event hoping to improve from last year’s runner-up finish in that same event. Moments ago, the player delivered on his goal.
He bested a field of 812 competitors, with that number representing record-breaking attendance for that particular tournament which has been part of the WPT’s Main Tour schedule since the poker series inception. The player collected $1,958,065 for his performance and had his name engraved on the WPT Champions Cup.
Tosoc entered the final day of action second in chips with a total of 5.105 million and with Sean Perry being the only player with a larger stack at the start of the official six-handed final table. Talking to WPT staff prior to Day 6, Tosoc said that he has always felt comfortable and confident in his game when playing at the Bellagio, the casino that hosted the WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic.
Last year, the player finished runner-up to James Romero in the Main Event, collecting $1.1 million for his deep run. With that said, this year’s champion now has more than $3 million in winnings in back-to-back editions of the same tournament.
