Dylan Linde is now a three-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner. Linde topped the 194-entrant field in Event #57: $50,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller to earn $2,146,414 in prize money. He was also awarded 800 PGT points, moving him to ninth on the PGT leaderboard with 1,015 PGT points.
This was Linde's third WSOP bracelet, following his first in 2021 in the $1,500 Mixed Omaha for $170,269 and then another in 2024 on WSOP.com in the $500 Ultra Deepstack for $60,336. This is also his largest career score, topping the $1,631,468 he was awarded for winning the 2018 WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic. Linde's lifetime tournament earnings, according to The Hendon Mob, now exceed $13,460,000, which places him 110th on the All-Time Money List, surpassing Mike "Timex" McDonald.
Day 3 of Event #57 began with just 11 players returning from the 194 entrants. Players were deep into the money as the likes of Philip Sternheimer, Juha Helppi, Arthur Morris, Scott Seiver, Shaun Deeb, John Riordan, Michael Moncek, Sean Winter, Alex Foxen, Jason Mercier, Allan Le, Santhosh Survarna, Joni Jouhkimainen, and Erik Seidel all cashed but were eliminated the previous day.
Following the eliminations of Youness Barakat and Gergo Nagy, the final nine players combined to one table with Biao Ding holding the chip lead. Frank Crivello exited in ninth, and play continued until the eight remaining players were sent on break prior to the PokerGO livestream commencing with Richard Gryko holding the chip lead. Dirk "VeniVidi" Gerritse was the first to fall when he was all-in on the flop with a gutshot and flush draw against Manuel Stojanovic's straight. The board bricked out, and Gerritse was eliminated in eighth place.
After doubling Linde, Quan Zhou was the next to fall when his single-suited aces were good on the flop, but were outdrawn on the turn by Linde. Ka Kwan Lau then ran kings into Stephen Chidwick's aces, and the final table was down to five. Austrian Manuel Stojanovic was all-in with top set against Chidwick's aces and a gutshot. Chidwick nailed his gutshot on the river and held more than half the chips in play four-handed.
Linde began his run up the leaderboard as Biao Ding exited in fourth when his bottom set was outdrawn by Linde's rivered straight. With Linde and Gryko fairly even in chips, Gryko made a big play holding an overpair and a gutshot against Linde's set. The river bricked, and Gryko was bounced in third, leaving Linde holding a 54.4 million chip lead to Chidwick's 3.8 million. On the second hand of heads-up play, Chidwick was all-in and was drawing to two outs after the flop. Linde finished with a rivered full house and collected his third WSOP bracelet, as Chidwick fell short of his third WSOP bracelet.
