Darren Elias the first player to win four WPT titles

And he overcame one of the most stacked WPT final tables ever seen to do it last night at the Bobby Baldwin Classic.

All of a sudden the three World Poker Tour titles each of Gus Hansen, Carlos Mortensen, Chino Rheem and Anthony Zinno don't seem so impressive because Darren Elias has become the first player with four.

He defeated a stacked final table with a known player in every seat - Jonathan Little, Sam Panzica, Dietrich Fast, Joe Mckeehen and runner-up Kitty Kuo - to take down the Bobby Baldwin Classic for $387,580.

He didn't have it easy as it took a full three hours heads-up to dispatch of Kuo, but now has the record fourth WPT title to go with his WPT Caribbean, Borgata Poker Open and Fallsview Poker Classic titles (all won in the last four years). 

“It was cool to do something no one has ever done,” Elias said after the event. “I think I do well against the American pros and American recreational players who play in these more so than the European players. These WPTs are mostly in America with mostly American players, so I think that's a lot of the reason for my success."

Taking place right now is the WPT Tournament of Champions, which naturally Elias has a seat in.
