This Is the Best Father-Son Story of the 2026 WSOP

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Brayden Lou
Brayden Lou

Brayden Lou managed to improve on an already outstanding year with a remarkable victory in the $500 Freezeout No-Limit Hold’em at the 2026 World Series of Poker.

After weeding his way through a field of 4,100, the inexperienced Lou wrestled the crown away from Jason Hoffman heads-up to claim the $196,066 winner’s share of a $1,701,500 prize pool.

“It’s pretty amazing,” Lou said. “I guess I can scratch this off my bucket list. I ran well, played well. That’s how it usually goes for tournament winners.”

Not that Lou would know, considering he won a gold bracelet in just his fourth ever live tournament.
