Stephen Song won the inaugural WPT Prime Championship at Wynn Las Vegas in 2022 for $712,650, beating out 5,430 entrants. The tournament is bigger this year — much bigger — and the event's first-ever champ is still standing, and with a big stack, as the final table nears.
Registration closed with 9,876 entrants in the field and $9,579,720 in the prize pool in the $1,100 no-limit hold'em tournament, a highlight of the WPT World Championship festival. There were 120 players remaining when Day 3 began on Friday, and the tournament is expected to play down to a final table before the day wraps.
