The Main Event with an $800 buy-in registered 341 entries, driving the prize pool to $238,700. Bunch entered the final table as the chipleader after eliminating Daniel Hughes in 10th place.
The final phase saw massive swings, with Bunch quickly losing his lead due to the aggressive play of Joshua Brower and Rachel Rodgers. He reclaimed the top spot only at the end, after knocking out Jonathan Bennett in 3rd place.
In heads-up, Rodgers swiftly shifted the balance in her favor, building more than a 3:1 chip advantage. However, Bunch didn't panic and orchestrated a patient comeback. In the tournament's final hand, Rodgers went all-in with A c 5 d, and Bunch called with K c 9 c. The board T h 9 d 3 h 7 c 5 s brought Bunch a pair, securing his overall victory.
This achievement marks yet another extraordinary milestone for Bunch at this venue. He recently achieved an incredible hat trick at the WSOPC Tulsa festival, securing five WSOP Circuit gold rings.
