In March 2019, retired real estate developer Frank Stepuchin etched his name in World Poker Tour history when he took down the $10,000 WPT Gardens Poker Championship for $548,825 after battling through a powerhouse final table that included four-time WPT final tablists Shannon Shorr and Steve Sung and WPT champion Ray Qartomy.
Four years later, and now a household name in poker, "Frank the Tank" is looking for a second WPT title as he sits in Day 1a of the $5,250 buy-in WPT Gardens Poker Championship at southern California's Gardens Casino.
