WSOP Circuit Cherokee Victory
Sunshine’s largest documented tournament win came in August 2026 at WSOP Circuit Cherokee. He won the $400 no-limit hold’em Mini-Main and earned $154,267. The official WSOP result lists Sunshine first, ahead of Jenna Amacher and Christopher Dixon.
The result established a major milestone in a season that also included a 180th-place finish in the 2026 WSOP Main Event for $57,500. Tournament prizes are gross awards and do not establish net profit.

Back-to-Back PGT Sprint Final Tables
Sunshine followed with two consecutive final tables at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas. He finished fourth in PGT Sprint Event #3 for $37,050. One day later, he reached heads-up play in PGT Sprint Event #4, a $5,300 no-limit hold’em tournament with 57 entries.
Sergei Kislinskii won Event #4, while Sunshine finished second for $57,000 and 86 PGT points. The two results marked Sunshine’s first two PGT final tables and showed his ability to move from large-field circuit events into a smaller high-stakes format.
