Joe Serock

After a swift 10 hours and 15 minutes of play, Joe "jimjam01" Serock was crowned the champion of the Online Event #7: $500 PLO 6-Max. Serock came back from a considerable chip deficit heads-up to overpower opponent Millard "meekmill" Hale. Not only does Serock lay claim to the top prize of $93,911, but will also get his hands on the coveted golden WSOP bracelet for this inaugural online event.

This is Serock’s fifth cash of the 2023 WSOP, with this result bringing a career-first bracelet to compliment his current $102,522 of World Series cashes within the last three weeks.

A total of 608 entries generated a prize pool of $504,900, of which 167 players were paid. Each player that squeaked into the money earned $706 for their finish, while the six finalists received a guaranteed $15,752.
