Daniel Weinman, the winner of the 2023 World Series of Poker Main Event, has signed a deal to be represented by Poker Royalty, the elite agency that has represented prominent poker players including Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, and the late Doyle Brunson.
Weinman, a Georgia native and currently a Las Vegas-based pro, made history last month by taking down the largest Main Event in WSOP annals. He topped a 10,043-player field that smashed a participation mark that had stood since 2006 on his way to collecting the event's first-place payout of $12.1 million, which also established a new Main Event mark.
"We are thrilled to welcome Daniel Weinman to the Poker Royalty family," said Poker Royalty's founderr and CEO, Brian Balsbaugh. "Daniel's exceptional skills, remarkable track record, and dedication will make him a tremendous ambassador for the game of poker." Weinman's signing adds to Poker Royalty's elite roster; the agency typicall represents eight to ten players at any given time and more signings may be announced before the end of the year.
Weinman was an online grinder for many years before gradually transitioning to live cash games and tournaments over a decade ago, a formula that describes many of today's elite pros. Weinman had already won one bracelet one WSOP Circuit ring before his Main Event triumph, and in 2017 he also pulled off a rare WPT double, winning the Borgata Winter Poker Open main event and following that up two months later by taking down the WPT's annual Tournament of Champions.
