How Rare is it to Win the Same WPT Event Twice? (It Could Happen at Choctaw)

Later this month, there's a reasonable chance that a second individual could join that exclusive list. Dapo Ajayi and James Mackey, two previous champions, were among the final 24 players at the time of publishing in the $3,800 buy-in WPT Choctaw on Monday. Both were sitting on big stacks.
