2025 WSOP Paradise
An hour ago, we asked you whether you could name the four other players, apart from Phil Ivey, who have won at least ten WSOP bracelets.
The answers are: Phil Hellmuth, Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan and Erik Seidel. Seidel joined the Ten Bracelet Club™ most recently, winning Event #7: $50,000 Super High Roller at the 2023 World Series of Poker Paradise for $1,704,400
Chan and Brunson have also won ten bracelets, but Hellmuth is the runaway leader with 17. But I'm sure you knew that...
It might only be the first day of the 2025 WSOP Paradise festival, but there are big names everywhere you look — and not just in the Triton events.
Former WSOP Main Event champions Jamie Gold and Ryan Riess have taken their seats and are playing in the $2,500 WSOP Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty.
The tournament clock currently shows 414/435 players remaining in Flight 1A.

Among the 14 players seated for the start of Event #2: $75,000 Triton Pot-Limit Omaha is a certain Phil Ivey. The 11-time WSOP bracelet winner is seated and will be looking for early success to get his WSOP Paradise festival off to the perfect start.
He narrowly missed out on a 12th bracelet earlier this year, with deep runs in $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha and the $25,000 High Roller H.O.R.S.E., but had to settle for sixth in both events.
