Calvin Tan Awarded Seniors Championship Victory for $3,355

Level 16: 3,000 / 6,000 ante: 6,000

Calvin Tan

Calvin Tan emerged victorious in this season's WPT Seniors Championship after overcoming a modest field of 40 entries, earning him $3,355 in cashes. A deal was set in place once the player pool narrowed down to three remaining, with the top three payouts shared evenly amongst Harry Cheatman and Neil Davidson.

Tan kicked off the final round middle of the pack and overtook the lead after eliminating both Rudolf Fourie (4th) and Michael Wood (5th) in quick succession. Play was halted following the bust, with Tan claiming the victory along with the coveted WPT trophy for his chip advantage.

"I feel good. I feel great! It's my first time winning the Seniors Event.", commented Tan in his post-match interview.

"It was a very fun final table. Everybody is very friendly and fun to play with."
