The inaugural World Poker Tour Tournament of Champions winner is Farid Yachou, a cafe owner from Amsterdam, who had never set foot in a casino before his first WPT Main Event title win in May. Now he has two.

When Adam Pliska and the team decided to dump the World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championships into the garbage, replacing it instead with the WPT Tournament of Champions (TOC), I imagine there was a future vision of a TOC Wall of Fame containing mugshots of the WPT’s most famous sons.

If that’s so, the first-ever event didn’t go to plan.
