Scott Eskenazi Holds on to Win WPT Rolling Thunder ($361,660)

There's a brand new member of the World Poker Tour Champions Club and his name is Scott Eskenazi, who took down the $3,500 buy-in WPT Rolling Thunder on Tuesday for $361,600.

At that six-player final table, WPT commentator Tony Dunst, who entered the finale second in chips, had a bad run of cards and was out in sixth place ($73,400). In his last hand, early at the final table, the long-time poker pro had turned a flush draw and then picked up top pair on the river where he called off an all in wager from the eventual champion who had flopped a straight.
