Daniel Sepiol has been on quite the run in the past six months. The 30-year-old poker pro has cashed for nearly $6.7 million across 26 in-the-money finishes from Dec. 4, 2023 to July 4, 2024. Along the way, he took down the massive World Poker Tour World Poker Championship at Wynn Las Vegas for $5,282,954 and won his first World Series of Poker bracelet in this year’s $1,500 no-limit shootout.
Sepiol’s latest triumph saw him top a field of 108 entries in the second of three $25,000 buy-in high rollers at the Wynn Summer Classic dubbed the WPT Alpha8 Trifecta. Sepiol walked away with $672,200 for the win.
He now has more than $8.3 million in total career earnings, with the majority having been won in the last half year.
Sepiol was one of 14 players to cash in this latest high roller. Among those who earned a share of the $2,581,200 total prize money were four-time bracelet winner Adrian Mateos (14th), two-time Card Player Player of the Year award winner Stephen Chidwick (12th), three-time bracelet winner Dominik Nitsche (10th), 2017 Super High Roller Bowl champion Christoph Vogelsang (7th), Igor Yaroshevskyy (6th), three-time WPT champion Chino Rheem (5th), Sam Laskowitz (4th), and five-time Triton winner Mikita Badziakouski (3rd).
The final heads-up battle saw Sepiol top Jonathan Cohen (2nd – $450,000) to secure the title. Sepiol was awarded 840 POY points as the champion, enough to move him into 42n place in the 2024 standings presented by Global Poker.
