Yanting Jiang is an American poker player who won the $3,000 Mid-Stakes Championship No-Limit Hold'em event at the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas. Jiang received her first WSOP bracelet and a career-best $1,159,182 for her victory.
Jiang's Hendon Mob profile showed eight in-the-money finishes before her bracelet victory, including a deep run in the $1,000 Mystery Millions at the 2026 WSOP worth $24,650.
In the $3,000 Mid-Stakes Championship event, Jiang bagged a colossal lead on Day 2, which also happened to be her birthday. Twenty-four hours later, Jiang bested a final table that housed the likes of Roberto Romanello, Michael Rocco, Punnat Punsri, and Maurice Hawkins to become a millionaire and join an exclusive club of female poker players who have won bracelets in open events.
“I still can’t believe it. I feel lucky,” said Jiang to PokerNews during an interview after her victory. “I’m a single mom, and I have two kids, and I just pray for whatever God will give me.”
