Am Wochenende wurde im Commerce Casino von Los Angeles das erste WSOP Bracelet des Jahres 2025 vergeben.
Beim Tournament of Champions – einem Freeroll mit einem Preisgeld von $1 Million – waren alle Sieger eines WSOP- oder WSOPC-Turnier der letzten 12 Monate zur Teilnahme eingeladen.
Der Termin war bei vielen Spielern stark umstritten, da er so weit vor der eigentlichen WSOP angesetzt war.
Für die Spieler, die sich an den Finaltisch vorarbeiteten, war dies aber eher von Vorteil, denn die Konkurrenz war natürlich deutlich geringer als bei mehr Spielern.
Den Sieg holte sich am Ende Kevin Li, der im Herbst einen WSOPC-Ring gewonnen hatte.
Als Belohnung erhielt der der Kanadier $200.000 – nicht schlecht für ein Freeroll.
Bester Bracelet-Gewinner war Dan Sepiol, der Vierter wurde und $70.000 schnappte.
Hier das Replay vom Finaltisch:

| Platz | Name | Land | Preisgeld |
