Qinghai Pan is now a three-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner after emerging victorious in Event #77: $10,000 Stud Hi-Lo Championship. Pan also earns his first live bracelet after claiming WSOP.com victories in 2022 and 2023. Pan now eclipses $1,060,000 in lifetime tournament earnings, according to The Hendon Mob.
The Stud Hi-Lo Championship attracted an 186-entrant field and created a prize pool of $1,729,800. The final 28 players finished in the money, and included Phil Hui, Jake Schwartz, Scott Bohlman, Craig Chait, Esther Taylor, Phil Hellmuth, and Vikto Blom prior to the final table being set. Day 3 play continued until just four players remaining, and play was halted for the evening.
Andrey Zhigalov was the first to fall when he was all-in on third street and finished with a pair of deuces, but was unable to best Pan's pair of kings. Pan continued to surge ahead before Luke Schwartz was eliminated in third when he was all-in on fourth street with a wheel draw but didn't improve any further against David Lin's pair of eights.
Pan held just under a three-to-one chip lead, and after a lively heads-up match, he delivered the final blow when the remainder of Lin's chips entered the middle on fifth street. Lin held split sevens against Pan's pair of eights. No help came for Lin, and he was eliminated in second place as Pan was crowned the champion.
