Last month he made history in Hollywood as the first player to ever win the same WPT event twice; his first LHPO win was in 2015 and he backed it up this past January. Altman kept right on going and made the WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open a week later and will play that out in a few weeks in Las Vegas.
