Michael Wang Wins 3rd WSOP Bracelet in $10k PLO Championship

Michael Wang is now a three-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner after emerging victorious in Event #74: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship. Wang adds to a gold bracelet collection that includes $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em victories in 2015 and 2022 for $466,120 and $541,604, respectively. 

Wang's lifetime tournament earnings now eclipse $8,850,000, according to The Hendon Mob, and he moves to 200th on the All-Time Money List. Wang also earns 1,100 PGT points and moves to eighth on the PGT leaderboard with 1,108 PGT points.

Event #74 attracted 874 entrants and created a prize pool of $8,128,200 that paid the final 132 players. Some of the players to finish in the money included Ronald Keijzer, Benny Glaser, Phil Ivey, John Monnette, Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Perkusic, Ryan Hoenig, Alex Livingston, Scott Bohlman, Stephen Chidwick, Ryan Riess, Mike Gorodinsky, Ben Lamb, Michael Rocco, and Isaac Kempton as the final day would begin with just seven players.

Quan Zhou held the chip lead, and as play continued on the outer table for roughly 90 minutes, two back-to-back eliminations occurred. Alex Foxen was eliminated in seventh place when he was all-in with a wrap against Wang's bottom set. Quads on the turn sent Foxen to the rail, and on the next hand, Javier Francort was eliminated when he was all-in and ran into the set of Sean Rafael. 

The final five would move to the Main Stage for the PokerGO livestreamed final table, and Melad Marji would be eliminated in fifth by Zhou. Rafael would then have his aces cracked by Wang's flopped set as Zhou and Wang held a commanding advantage in chips over Mike Zulker. Wang began to open up a chip lead before he eliminated Zhou with aces against his queens. Wang began heads-up play with a 33 million to 19.5 million chip advantage over Zulker.

The final hand would play out when both players saw a jack-ten-ten flop with Wang flopping jacks-full and Zulker flopping trip tens. The turn improved Zulker to an inferior full house before the remaining chips all entered on the meaningless river. Zulker was on the losing hand of a cooler, and Wang was crowned a three-time WSOP bracelet winner.
