Congrats Michael!

Daniel Kasper, WPO Bankroll Builder champ

While the big Day 2 restart of WPO Event 1 was playing down on one side of the Poker Room, we had the $200 Bankroll Builder going on the other, with poker and football keeping things lively. After a long day, Daniel Kasper captured the title and $5,481 in a six-way deal.

This is Kasper’s first Tampa title after several close calls that include a 2021 Pinktober Poker Open $600 NLH event runner-up finish and fourth place in the $600 Deep Stack during the 2022 WPT Tampa series.

Congrats Daniel!
