Rast win seventh WSOP bracelet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Poker Hall of Famer Brian Rast moved up a spot on the all-time WSOP bracelet list with a win in yet another Championship event. Rast won his seventh bracelet in the $10,000 Limit Razz Championship, adding another $306,644 to his lifetime tournament earnings of $28.3 million<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five of his bracelets came in Championship events — he’s won the $50,000 Poker Player’s Championship in 2011, 2016, and 2023, the $10,000 No Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship in 2019, and this one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He talked to the WSOP afterwards about how he was feeling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Just immense gratitude. I feel like no one ever deserves to win a tournament because it\u2019s so crazy what has to happen to win. I was very short at least twice, if not three times,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I really liked my mindset on this one. I was just telling myself, even before the final table, just focus on your play. If you bust at this point, no matter what happens, you have a great life, you\u2019re doing well, playing good poker. And that\u2019s all I can control. I was very happy how I played, and just these ups and downs, emotionally. That was the longest heads-up battle that I\u2019ve ever had. Andrew made it really tough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’s the third player this summer who won his seventh bracelet, joining Poker Hall of Fame nominee Nick Schulman<\/a> and Benny Glaser, who has already won his eighth<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adrian Mateos wins fifth bracelet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spain’s all-time tournament cash leader Adrain Mateos<\/a> grabbed his fifth WSOP bracelet this weekend by winning the $3,200 High Roller that was part of WSOP.com’s online slate. The tournament began online, but finished live at the Horseshoe Las Vegas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event registered 444 entries and Mateos, who is undefeated in heads-up WSOP play, won a quarter-milly for beating Bulgarian pro Alex Kulev for the title. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mateos won his first WSOP bracelet at the tender age of 19 by winning the European Main Event for \u20ac1 million in 2013. The man never looked back, wracking up nearly $54 million in tournament cashes<\/a> since then, including another four WSOP titles in 2013, 2016 2017, and 2021, when he won the $250,000 Super High Roller events for $3,265,362 -is – which one of his five super high roller wins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People, he’s just 30 years old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
