WPT Commentator Tony "Panoramic" Dunst has over $3.8 million in Hendon Mob recorded cashes to his credit, and with those million of dollars in earnings are a pair of WSOP Gold Bracelets, one of which he won in 2016 in the WSOP's Event #63: $1,000 No Limit Hold'em for $339,254 (which is actually just the fourth largest score of his career). The second bracelet was earned in last year's iteration of the WSOP Online Bracelet Series, in Event #21: $777 No Limit Hold'em 6-Max.
That event, which saw 1,361 entrants hit the virtual felt, saw Dunst hit the final table of six with a big chip lead, one he used to knock out the dangerous Jon "havuuuuuc" Turner and Krista “Pollux” Gifford in short order. Charles “ilosestackz" Phillips” and Alec “Tango_Bravo” Parslow fell next, and in heads-up play, James “paymycollege” Pace made a seven-high straight against Dunst with the stack sitting nearly even, but Dunst held a flush and left Pace with a single big blind. No chip and chair story came to fruition for Pace, and Dunst collected his second WSOP Gold Bracelet and $168,342 for the victory.
Dunst played a large slate of events in last year's events, and we'll be looking for him to be a frequent contender to add more WSOP hardware to his coffers during this summer's WSOP Online Bracelet Series.
This summer, PokerNews has decided to relive some of the memories of past WSOPs. This "Day in WSOP History" will harken back to the most poignant moments of WSOPs from 2005-2019.
Today, July 1, is a special day, especially in WSOP Big One for One Drop history. In 2012, it was the highest-stakes tournament ever held. The spectacle was grand and every part memorable, from the entrances right down to the iconic barefoot winner's photo with Antonio Esfandiari holding stacks of cash aloft.
While nothing could ever really duplicate the magic of the first million-dollar tournament, anticipation remained nonetheless high for the second attempt in 2014.
That is when Daniel Negreanu, who is currently in action in this tournament, went heads-up against Daniel Colman for the title and $15.3 million top prize.
