Talking post the final table being set, the chip lead of the WPT World Championship 2023 mentioned about taking good rest in between events. He said, “I think I slept for nine hours last night. I actually made a pact with myself a few months ago, I’d gone to Monaco to play the Triton series and I feel like I didn’t do the best job recovering in between events.”

Lichtenberger further added, “It’s hard, you know – you’re on the road, you don’t have access to all your stuff that you’re used to at home. And I could tell that that’s really what was holding me back. So moving forward from that, I really resigned myself like, If you’re gonna play serious poker, this is what I have to do.”
Coming to WPT December 2023, the event turned out pretty well for Indian-origin poker pro Santhosh Suvarna who made the final table in the $1 Million buy-in Big One For One Drop event.
Suvarna couldn’t finish in the money but made history by being the first Indian to make final table in this coveted event. The heavy-duty tournament was eventually nailed by Mikita Badziakouski from Belarus for over $7 Million in payday.
The WPT Prime Championship event was shipped by Calvin Anderson $13,86,280. He emerged victorious from a massive entry field of 10,512. Aaron Pinson took the runner-up spot for a sum of $910,000.
