After 933 entrants over the course of four flights, saw the biggest prizepool of the WSOPC Tulsa in the form of $307,890. The second day began with 66 players and after nine hours of play, only one stood.
It was Timothy “TJ” Cunningham who took down his first WSOP cash into his first WSOPC ring as he best the massive field for a career best score of $51,156. “It’s a rush,” the new champion said with a smile on his face, “I have a lot of friends that support me in my times of need and clarity, I am fortunate to have guys that give me guidance. My dad and my family, it’s a blessing.”
The 33-year old has been playing live tournaments for a few years now. “Probably around when I was 18 or 19 I got my feet wet, that’s when I started winning some daily tournaments. Played a little bit online, had a bad spell so I took a break. Came back really focused with the right people and the right mindset. It’s just my time.”
The Arkansas resident also wins entry into the 2024 WSOP Tournament of champions. “I was waiting on a moment like this, so now I know I am going to be there.”
