The 2025 World Series of Poker continues at full pace, with ten more players winning bracelets in a wide mix of formats. From large-field hold’em events to elite mixed games and high-stakes Omaha, the latest winners include both first-time champions and seasoned pros.
Klemens Roiter, a high-stakes regular from Austria, topped a record 9,920-entry field to win his first WSOP bracelet and over $1.2 million. The tournament spanned eight days and featured four starting flights. Roiter eliminated multiple final table opponents and defeated David Uvaydov heads-up. His victory pushed his live tournament earnings to over $4 million.
Poker Hall of Famer Brian Rast won his seventh career bracelet after surviving an epic battle against Andrew Yeh. Rast came back from near elimination multiple times, including one moment where he had just a single big bet left. The final table included Brian Yoon, Joao Vieira, and Ali Eslami. Rast secured the win after a dramatic day 4 comeback, joining a short list of players with seven WSOP titles.
Samuel Rosborough of Texas overcame a 2,320-entry freezeout field to earn his first bracelet and a $410,426 payday. He defeated Asher Conniff heads-up after winning a massive pot with pocket kings against Conniff’s eights. Rosborough’s final shove with 86
cracked A-Q to end the match. This result marked a major leap in his poker career after years of grinding lower buy-in events.
Dennis Weiss captured his second WSOP title and one of the summer’s biggest prizes. He topped 489 entries for $2.29 million. The final table included Phil Ivey, Michael Duek, and Talal Shakerchi. Weiss knocked out Ivey and took control late on day 3 before closing it out heads-up against Duek. A rivered two-pair sealed the deal. With just 15 career cashes, Weiss now has nearly $3 million in WSOP earnings.
Matt Vengrin finally broke through for his first bracelet after 18 years of close calls at the WSOP. He topped 1,564 players and beat Bryce Yockey heads-up for a $306,791 win. The event was packed with PLO talent, including Rep Porter and Punnat Punsri. Vengrin flopped a full house to end the tournament and now has over $3.6 million in career earnings.
Kristopher Tong outlasted one of the toughest final tables of the series to win $452,689 and his first bracelet. The final stages included Jason Mercier, Scott Seiver, and Bradley Ruben. Tong held the chip lead going into day 4 but was nearly eliminated before mounting a comeback against Maximilian Schindler. A key ace-high call late in limit hold’em helped him regain control and eventually secure the title.
Brett Lim topped 7,575 entries in the seniors event, open only to players aged 50 and older. He earned $653,839 and his first bracelet after defeating Elan Lepovic in a back-and-forth heads-up battle. The tournament featured multiple past champions and a prize pool near $7 million. Lim closed it out with pocket kings holding against A-J, capping a dream run that included a packed rail and post-win family cruise plans.
Benny Glaser earned his third bracelet of the summer and eighth overall by winning this 463-entry triple draw event. Glaser defeated Schuyler Thornton heads-up after eliminating George Alexander in third. With this win, Glaser joined an elite group of players to win three bracelets in a single series. He collected $208,552 and now has over $9.4 million in lifetime tournament earnings. The victory came after grueling hours of short-handed play featuring games like badugi, ace-to-five, and deuce-to-seven lowball.
Adrian Mateos added a fifth bracelet to his career after winning this online-live hybrid tournament that started on WSOP.com and concluded at Horseshoe Las Vegas. The Spanish pro outlasted 444 entries, taking home $253,080 and pushing his total live earnings beyond $56.1 million. Mateos joins Phil Ivey, Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Alaei, and Allen Cunningham as players who won five bracelets before age 31. He topped Alex Kulev heads-up and defeated a tough final table including Georgios Sotiropoulos and Alan Sternberg.
Dylan Linde took down one of the summer’s biggest events, besting 193 entries for $2,146,414 and his third WSOP bracelet. He overcame a stacked field and final table that included Stephen Chidwick, Richard Gryko, and Biao Ding. Linde surged from a short stack on day 2 to chip leader late in the final table. A massive full house hand against Gryko set up an easy closeout versus Chidwick heads-up. The win boosted Linde’s total tournament earnings past $14.5 million.
