After three days of intense play, Furth was crowner champion, taking home $265,361. This victory marks Furth’s first WSOP bracelet win and the biggest payday of his career. Previously, his highest earning was $80,000 for finishing third in a $10,500 pot-limit Omaha event at this year’s Wynn Millions festival.

After his victory, Furth shared his thoughts with reporters, saying, “I feel good. The win mostly means $265,000. I’m pretty happy about the money. I hope there’s more to come. I’m going to be playing a bunch of PLO tournaments this summer.”
