Dan Piazza Goes Wire to Wire in 2025 National Horseplayers Championship

Dan Piazza maintained his lead into and through the Final Table on Sunday, and held on for title of Horseplayer of the Year in Las Vegas. Tom Boyd made a strong run at Piazza late in the day but missed by $14.30. Piazza’s $356.52 bankroll over the three days of the handicapping contest earned him the grand prize of $825,000. The event was held at (formerly Bally’s) Horseshoe Las Vegas.

Dylan Donnelly, a friend of us here at Agameofskill.com, finished 5th and earned a whopping $125,000!
