Sometimes it seems like destiny shines on us. Sometimes it just seems like that. For at the final table at the 2023 WLPC Main Event was a truly familiar face in Chris Nunes, one that has been there at least seven times with a victory and two 2nd places since 2014.
Would he be the first to claim the title of WLPC Champion twice?
It was not to be, as London, Ontario's own MIKE MATTE had other designs. Besting a field of 265 players and navigating the final table with skill and quiet determination, Mike turned destiny on its head and earned the victory, plus the over $5,000 cash prize and title of World Champion. Mike is also headed to the World Tavern Poker Hall of Fame!
