The Complete Overview of the 2023 World Series of Poker

The 2023 World Series of Poker is now just a memory, as poker’s premier festival wrapped up at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas on July 19, 2023.

A jam-packed schedule saw 95 bracelet events play out at the WSOP’s home, with several obliterating all kinds of attendance and prize pool records.

So, if you weren’t able to keep up with all the action from the last two months, then PokerNews has got you covered with this complete overview of the 2023 WSOP.

This article focuses on just the live events from the 2023 WSOP. You can see the complete overview of the NV/NJ online bracelet events here.

Plenty of Bullets Fired

Across the 95 live bracelet events, there were 215,655 entries recorded from players in all corners of the world.

The most attended event also had the lowest buy-in. The $300 Gladiators of Poker had 23,088 entries to make it one of the biggest poker tournaments of all time.

In addition to the Gladiators, there were four more tournaments that had more than 10,000 entries.

Over $440 Million Collected

From the entries mentioned above, a whopping $440,562,594 was collected across the 2023 WSOP. To put that into perspective, that’s more than the GDP of countries such as Nauru ($133.2M), Palau ($217.8M), Marshall Islands ($259.5M), and Federated Islands of Micronesia ($404M).

From the money collected, $401,837,583 was available in prizes, while the remaining $38,925,011 was portioned for the rake. The WSOP then splits the rake into two categories. The first being entry fees, which had a final total of $27,247,508. This left over $11,677,503, which was then divided between the dealers and staff.

Across the summer, $66,286,689 was allocated to the bracelet winners. There were 15 events that awarded at least $1 million to the eventual champions, and then there were a further two $1 million prizes given out thanks to the bounty prizes from the Mystery Millions.

Record-Breaking Main Event

One of the biggest stories from the summer was that the 2023 WSOP Main Event finally eclipsed the 2006 entry record.

Some 10,043 hopefuls paid the $10,000 buy-in to set up the biggest Main Event of all time. Of course, this generated the largest prize pool in the history of poker, with $93,399,900 being shared among the 1,508 players to finish in the money.

Daniel Weinman was the last player standing and saw $12.1 million head his way after he etched his name in poker’s history books. His payout bested the prize that was awarded to Jamie Gold during the first poker boom.

But just much of the eight-figure score is Weinman expected to keep after taxes? Well, you can find out just how much money the players made at the final table.

Miller, Eveslage, Brewer & Arieh Pick Up Multiple Bracelets

Winning one bracelet at the WSOP is cool, but winning two? That’s just too good.

The 2023 WSOP saw four players bag multiple bracelet wins with Ryan Miller, Chris Brewer (pictured), Chad Eveslage, and Josh Arieh being in that in that quartet.

Eveslage kicked off the 2023 WSOP in incredible form and picked up back-to-back bracelet triumphs in the Dealer’s Choice events. He won the $1,500 edition before reigning supreme in the Dealer’s Choice Championship for a combined score of $443,307.

Bad beat specialist Brewer has experienced some sick bust-outs over the last few years in some huge spots, but he was able to see the warmer side of lady luck over the last couple of months. Brewer won the biggest buy-in event of the series and took home $5,293,556 for his $250K Super High Roller victory. He then showed he was more than just a hold’em maestro as he grabbed his second win in the $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw Lowball Championship.

Arieh took his overall bracelet tally to six after he won the Limit Hold’em Championship and $25,000 H.O.R.S.E. High Roller. Miller then collected two pieces of WSOP hardware from five events.

US Poker Players Dominate

As expected, poker players from the United States collected the most WSOP bracelets across the summer, with 58 different Americans all finding a pole position finish. Phil Hellmuth was one of those to finish an event in the top spot, and he extended his all-time bracelet record to 17 after he took down Event #72: $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty for $803,818.

Canadian and Chinese-based players were able to capture six bracelets each. The Brazilian crowd also turned out in force and proved once again that they’re a poker force to be reckoned with as three more bracelets were taken back to the South American state.

Bulgaria had two champions, while Switzerland, Japan, Moldova, Poland, Austria, Spain, United Kingdom, Ukraine, Vietnam, Peru, France, Australia, Argentina, Netherlands, Germany, and Portugal had one winner each.

Rodrigo Seiji Secures PokerStars Titans Event Title for $82,083

Brazilian grinder Rodrigo “seijistar” Seiji took down the $5,200 Titans Event at PokerStars in November 2022 and saw his bankroll swell by $93,118. Fast-forward to July 23, and Seiji did it again! He triumphed in another Titans Event, and helped himself to another $82,083 in prize money.

A compact yet stellar field of 60 entrants fought it out over a $300,000 prize pool, which the top seven finishers shared.

Leonard “Grozzorg” Maue, the 2023 EPT Monte Carlo Main Event runner-up, bowed out in seventh for $13,055. Ukrainian superstar Andrey “Anjeyyy” Novak joined Maue on the sidelines with the $18,116 sixth-place prize in tow.

Fifth place and $25,139 went to Estonia’s “MakuFz” before Ognyan “cocojamb0” Dimov saw his latest deep run end in a fourth-place exit worth $34,885 to the Bulgarian.

Heads-up was set soon after when Austria-based Greek superstar Alexandros “Pwndidi” Theologis ran out of luck and steam, and had to console himself with a $48,409 third place score.

Theologis’ untimely demise left Seiji in a one-on-one battle with the 2013 PCA Main Event champion Dimitar “KuuL” Danchev. The heads-up duo struck a deal to make the payouts closer to one another, before Seiji defeated his Bulgarian opponent to clinch the title and $82,083. Danchev’s bridesmaid finish came with a $78,309 payday.

MacDonald Swoops in for the Sunday Million Win

Tom “7tHEcROw7” MacDonald is $77,774 richer than a few days ago, thanks to coming out on top of a 10,425-strong field in the latest instalment of the $109 Sunday Million PKO.

MacDonald eventually found himself heads-up against Poland’s “DrawindDead” after two days of intense action, and after navigating his way past more than 10,000 opponents.

The final hand essentially played itself due to the cost of the blinds and the cards involved. With blinds of 4,000,000/8,000,000/1,000,000a, “DrawindDead” min-raised to 16,000,000 only for MacDonald to three-bet to 54,400,000. “DrawinDead ripped it in for 206,371,184, and MacDoanld snapped off his opponent. MacDonald flipped over ace-king, which was way ahead of the suited king-jack of “DrawindDead.” Both players flopped a king, but MacDonald’s hand remained true, and he added the Sunday Million title to his long list of poker accomplishments.

Brouk Bags the Grand Title at PartyPoker

The Grand at PartyPoker may have seen its guarantee dwindle in recent weeks but that has not put off some of poker’s biggest names for ponying up $1,050 to play in it each week.

The latest edition of the Grand saw 46 entrants compete for a slice of the $46,000 prize pool. Having won the Titans Event at PokerStars, Rodrigo Seiji busted in ninth place in this PartyPoker tournament and popped the money bubble.

Seiji’s elimination locked in cashes for such luminaries as Joakim Andersson ($2,421), Josh Hopkins ($2,705), Joakim Einarsson ($3,043), and Jerry Odeen ($3,512).

Any of the final four would have made a worthy champion, but only one of them would ultimately claim that title. New Zealand’s Joshua McCully ($4,528) was cut down in fourth, with Niklas Astedt’s latest deep run ending in a third place finish ($6,258).

Finland’s Tomi Brouk went on to defeat Matthew Stumpf of Canada, and reeled in $14,702 for this victory, leaving Stumpf to bank a $9,267 runner-up score.

Gandalf Sax Guy Conjures Up Sunday Party Win

A field of 1,091 PartyPoker players bought into the Sunday Party this week, ensuring the $100,000 guarantee was surpassed. Standing tall and proud at the conclusion of this flagship event was “Gandalf Sax Guy” who produced a bit of magic on their way to victory.

First place came with a total prize weighing in at $13,992, with some $7,564 of that sum stemming from the bounties on other players’ heads! The wizard-loving grinder eliminated 15 opponents from the tournament, including runner-up “Rawzw3,” who banked $6,799 in total.

Shout-out to third-place finisher “Dona MariAA” who walked away with $7,925 thanks to $3,676 worth of bounty payments, the second-most of the entire tournament.

Jagdeep Bal Wins First-Ever The Hendon Mob Mid-Major Championship on USA Soil

On Sunday, after just over 12 hours of play at Thunder Valley Casino on Day 2 of The Hendon Mob Mid-Major Championship, it was Jagdeep Bal who managed to navigate his way through a massive field of 1,605 entries and emerged victorious in an eight-way chop deal for a career-best score of $71,036 as well as The Hendon Mob Trophy and a RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) ring.

Day 2 Action

On Day 2, 203 players returned to action, all guaranteed a piece of the $834,600 prize pool starting at $860. The day progressed in a rather quick fashion, with many players finding themselves hitting the rail including Jeff Platt (123rd – $1,295), Tyler Patterson (102nd – $1,425), Harley Brooks (95th – $1,495), and special guest and reigning GPI Mid-Major Player of the Year Stephen Song (57th – $1,885).

Even after it got down to the final two tables, action still did not slow down until aggressive players Joe Nguyen (13th – $7,905) and Tony Barrera (12th – $10,240) were eliminated. After losing a large portion of his stack by doubling up Mujkic, it was Borui Zhang who was eliminated in tenth place ($13,740) by none other than Mujkic.

Final Table Action

After a few hands at the final table, short-stacked Thomas Morris moved all in with ace-jack but was called by Hong Moon with ace-queen. Morris failed to improve after the queen-ten-ten flop and was therefore eliminated in ninth place as the first final table-casualty.

Nothing notable happened for the next level as chips just exchanged hands, but as Level 31 began and the average stack became 15 big blinds, the players paused to consider an ICM chop deal.

After the chips were counted and the payout numbers generated, the players took a vote and the verdict in favor of a chop was unanimous! Having the most chips at the time of the chop, Bal received the highest payout of $71,036 as well as the Hendon Mob trophy and RGPS ring!

Congratulations to Bal for winning the $600 Hendon Mob Mid-Major Championship at Thunder Valley Casino and Resort in beautiful Sacramento, California!

Be sure to stick around this coming weekend for updates on the $2,500 buy-in RGPS Last Kilometer: $1 Million GTD Main Event starting on Friday, July 28th!
