Tony Dunst stepped out of the broadcast booth and into the online poker arena Sunday night, where he picked up a huge victory.

The longtime poker pro captured his third World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet by winning WSOP Online Event #15: $500 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack. He took home $134,886 and was one of 420 players who cashed in the large field event.

Dunst last won a bracelet in 2020, also online - there was no live World Series of Poker that year due to the COVID pandemic. His first WSOP title came in 2016 at the Rio, a $339,254 payday for winning a $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em event, one of his biggest live scores ever.

Are we witnessing the greatest World Series of Poker (WSOP) ever?
