On Sunday, the World Poker Tour Caribbean $3,500 Main Event wrapped up at Casino Royale in St. Marteen with WPT's very own Tony Dunst as champion! The WPT Raw Deal host overcame a very tough final table that included two former WPT champions, Marvin Rettenmaier and Giacoma Fundaro, to earn his first major tournament title and a sweet $145,000 first place prize + $15,400 seat into the WPT World Championship (Borgata, May 2014)! This was his fifth WPT cash (third largest cash of his career) and the second final table.

Final table results:
1st:  Tony Dunst - $145,000
2nd:  Giacomo Fundaro - $100,000
3rd:  Severin Schleser - $63,500
4th:  Marvin Rettenmaier - $46,800
5th:  Zoltan Purak - $35,900
6th:  Robert Bakker - $28,700
