EPT Prague Winner Jordan Saccucci Kicked Out of WSOP Paradise After Arrest

Jordan Saccucci, the 2022 EPT Prague Main Event winner, has been removed from the WSOP Paradise series running in the Bahamas. Saccucci was arrested for allegedly taking part in a series of burglaries across 30 homes in Mississauga, Hamilton, Oakville and Burlington. The suspects may approach the front door of residences during daytime hours with their identities concealed using surgical masks or face coverings, and wear hoods and gloves.

Saccucci has denied all of the charges after being arrested on December 5 with his alleged fellow suspect 41-year-old Dumark Lindsay. He is currently released on bond. In a statement issued to PokerNews, Saccucci said: “Yes, I have a past but I’m sure everyone does. I ain’t perfect but the truth is I haven’t been convicted for anything like this since 2016 which is seven years ago.” He added that previous charges were found to have been falsified: “Halton and Peel regional police have charged me in the past and I was found not guilty. Two officers on the police force were found guilty of lying under oath and were suspended two months without pay, and there is also record of that.”

Saccucci rose to fame in the poker world after taking down the 2022 EPT Prague for $962,126 and his career earnings currently sit at $1,366,385.
