Martin Kabrhel has won his sixth World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet in WSOP Online Event #20: $3,200 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller for $195,195, but perhaps even more remarkable than the result itself is that he managed to do it while simultaneously in the money in three separate WSOP events.

The rumbunctious Czech high roller entered Thursday still alive across three different tournaments, having been spotted running between the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas over the past day or so trying to keep all his runs going at once.

And he managed to make it work in this one, navigating his way through the 338-runner field to the title and defeating Krista "Pollux" Gifford heads-up for bracelet number six.
