WSOP Legend Perry Green Wins First Poker Tournament in 35 Years!

The 30th Anniversary Los Angeles Poker Classic (LAPC) kicked off at The Commerce back on January 13 and is slated to run through March 5. This past week, the $400 Mixed Omaha tournament attracted 91 runners who competed for a $30,030 prize pool. Coming out on top of that tournament was poker legend Perry Green, 86, a three-time bracelet winner from the early days of the World Series of Poker (WSOP).

It marked Green’s first tournament victory in 35 years with his last victory coming back in the 1987 Pot of Gold $225 NLH for $14,130.
