Eliot Hudon Beats Out 2,960 Entrants to Win WPT World Championship for $4.1 Million

One of the biggest events in poker history — the World Poker Tour (WP)T World Championship — concluded Tuesday night with Eliot Hudon claiming the $4,136,000 first place prize, beating out a massive field of 2,960 entrants at Wynn Las Vegas.

The final table, one of the fastest in World Poker Tour history (55 hands over 2.5 hours), began with a bang when Benny Glaser, who entered with a sizable chip lead, made an aggressive shove with ace-jack all in from under the gun.
