Last year's event saw Allan Le winning his second bracelet and $126,363 as he topped a field of 472 runners in an event that had a prize pool of $626,580. And the dad of three, who denied eventual series Player of the Year Shaun Deeb the event title, did it on Father's Day.

“I would probably let them win,” the new champion told PokerNews' Liam Gannon when asked whether he would let his children win if he played poker against them. “I give my kids everything. Not this bracelet, though; this bracelet is going to my wife over there.”

Other past winners include 2024 Player of the Year Scott Seiver and four-time bracelet winner David "ODB" Baker.
