Dennis Weiss Wins 2nd WSOP Bracelet in $25k PLO High Roller

Dennis Weiss is now a two-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner after topping the 489-entrant field in Event #51: $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller. The German poker pro added to his trophy case, which already includes a 2024 WSOP Europe €5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha title. He takes home $2,292,155 in prize money, which dwarfs his previous largest career score of nearly $180,000.

According to The Hendon Mob, Weiss's lifetime tournament earnings climb from $345,705 to more than $2,637,000. He now sits 39th on Germany's All-Time Money List behind George Danzer and Daniel Perkusic.

The 489-entrant field was a slight bump from the 476-entrant field in 2024, which David Eldridge won. Eldridge put on a gallant defense of his title, finishing in 24th place. He was joined in the money by the likes of Sam Soverel, Matthew Wantman, Ryan Riess, John Riordan, Farid Jattin, Eelis Parssinen, Jeremy Ausmus, Daniel Negreanu, Noah Schwartz, Johannes Becker, Dylan Smith, Chino Rheem, John Racener, Alex Foxen, Sean Winter, Jesse Lonis, Joni Jouhkimainen, Chris Brewer, Ka Kwan Lau, Erick Lindgren, Isaac Haxton, Bryn Kenney, Ben Lamb, Lautaro Guerra, and Phil Ivey.

The final five players returned for Day 4 with Weiss holding an overwhelming chip lead. Jeffrey Hakim found an early double before Talal Shakerchi was the first elimination when he was all-in with trips against the straight and flush draw of Weiss. The flush came in on the river and Shakerchi was eliminated in fifth place. Evan Krentzman doubled through Weiss, but then was eliminated in fourth when he called all-in on the river with two pair, but Michael Duek had a straight.

After laddering up two pay jumps after starting as the short stack, Hakim's run ended in third place when he ran into the aces of Weiss. Weiss flopped top set, and Hakim turned a gutshot but couldn't spike his four outer to stay alive. Weiss entered heads-up play against Duek with nearly a two-to-one lead. Pots were traded back and forth for a little while before Weiss gained the advantage and extended his lead out to a six-to-one buffer. The final hand came with Duek all-in on the flop with a pair and gutshot against Weiss's top pair. Duek turned two pair, but Weiss counterfitted him on the river to earn his second WSOP bracelet and a career-defining $2.3 million score.
