Sheraz Nasir has won the partypoker World Poker Tour (WPT) Canadian Spring Championships. The Canadian resident defeated a field of 370 players to take the first prize of $218,297. He also wins a seat in the season-ending WPT World Championships.

“It’s awesome. It feels really good, and I feel happy to be amongst the champions.” Nasir told the WPT after his victory.

The WPT chose the Playground Poker Club, in Kahnawake, Quebec, as their Season XIV opener. The ink is still wet on the check sent to Season XIII WPT World Championships winner Asher Conniff, but the wheels on the WPT bus keep going round and round.
