Anthony Gregg Wins WPT Parx Open Poker

17/08/2012

500 players took part in World Poker Tour Parx Open Poker Classic Main Event, and yesterday we got to know the name of the newest WPT champion. Please, welcome, Anthony Gregg!

By the way, Anthony is a frequent guest at the final tables of various live events. Throughout his career, Gregg has placed second in the 2009 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event, eighth in the 2011 Venetian Deep Stack Extravaganza III Main Event, sixth in the 2012 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event, third in the 2012 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo®Casino EPT Grand Final 6-Max Turbo High Roller and fourth in World Series of Poker Event 28: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em — Four Handed. But, he's never had a standout win like the one he just received by taking down the WPT Parx Open Poker Classic.




“It feels amazing,” said Gregg in his winner interview. “I've played so many live tournaments and I've come close a bunch of times, and just come up short. I've always wanted that feeling of actually winning because it just feels so much better than getting second, or any other place. The money's always nice, but the title is good, too, and just knowing that you beat everyone.”

As a bonus, Anthony received the $416,127 first-place prize, the first major title of his career, a $25,500 entry to the season-ending WPT World Championship and a congratulatory tweet from a friend of his who just happens to be the Greatest Olympic Chamipon of All Time, Michael Phelps: “Nice work @wwwBTHEREcom!”

And here's an interview with the champion :
