Albert Croteau Claims $30K Victory in Atlantic City’s EFL Championship Showdown

Albert Croteau has won the 2023 $400 Atlantic City EFL Championship, defeating Anton Saich in a lengthy heads-up battle. The victory earned him $30,000 and the BPO trophy, marking his biggest career achievement to date.

Croteau secured his spot in the tournament by winning an Eastern Poker Tour satellite. His path to the title wasn’t easy—he entered the final table with just one elimination to his name. The final stage alone stretched over seven hours, testing the endurance of all nine remaining players.

Croteau’s triumph adds his name to the list of Atlantic City Championship winners. The $30,000 prize and trophy cap off a gruelling final table performance. His victory also strengthens his reputation in the competitive PGA Championship circuit.
