"Everything that could have gone right went right. I'm very fortunate, I ran very hot, and I was happy with my decisions overall. It was an amazing final table."
"The top 61 finishers made the money in this event, with big names like Jared Jaffee, Joe Serock, Joshua Remitio, Sam Laskowitz, Anthony Hu, Shannon Shorr, and Nick Schulman running deep. The last day began with six remaining and Brown atop the chip counts."
The 2026 World Poker Tour Venetian Las Vegas Spring Championship $5,000 no-limit hold'em event attracted 488 entries, exceeding the $2 million guarantee by approximately $245,000. Nicholas Seward, a 25-year-old professional from Washington D.C., claimed victory and the championship title. This represents his first WPT title and second-largest career payday, following his 2024 WSOP $3,000 six-max event win of $516,135. Seward has accumulated over $3.9 million in career tournament earnings. Despite chip leader Greg Brown maintaining his advantage through heads-up play, Seward overcame a significant 3:1 chip disparity to secure the trophy. The victory earned Seward 1,440 Card Player Player of the Year points, elevating him to fifth place in the 2026 POY standings.
