PartyPoker WPT Prague Won by Wydrowski

Polish poker pro Marcin Wydrowski wins PartyPoker World Poker Tour Prague Main Event and takes home $423K in prize money.       

The recent PartyPoker WPT Prague main event was won by Wydrowski, who became the first Pole to ever win a major WPT event and bringing lots of pride to his country in the process.  Wydrowski cleared a field of 567 contestants in the weekend event to face a final table consisting of six players altogether.

The 26 year old Wydrowski won $423,957 from a total prize pool of $1.6 million in the WPT Prague Main Event, which took place at the King’s Casino in the Czech capital.  He also won a seat to the World Poker Tour World Championships, scheduled to take place at the Bellagio in Las Vegas next year – a prize worth $25,000.

I didn’t even look at the prize money for the other places, I only wanted first, said a thrilled Wydrowski after his win. Winning a major title was always my goal – I am so happy it is hard to understand how I feel at the moment.
