The sweepstakes-based online poker platform from the World Poker Tour, ClubWPT, has officially announced its first ambassador—Josh Guindon. Guindon is an ER doctor by profession and a poker player by night.
The Massachusetts resident began his poker journey grinding low-stakes games but quickly proved his skills at the highest level. Since joining ClubWPT, Guindon has made deep runs in all four of his WPT Championship events, including a standout final table appearance at the ClubWPT Gold $5 Million Freeroll, where he finished 7th for a $30,000 prize and claimed an additional $100,000 bounty.
His path to ClubWPT began after watching an episode of the World Poker Tour on television. Recognizing his potential, he entered a tournament and outplayed a field of 1,100 players to secure a VIP package to the 2022 WPT Venetian Championship. In his first live poker event, he finished 48th, earning $19,700.
