Martin Zamani Wins Fifth WSOP Bracelet for Online Record

With 610 entries, the $500-entry No-Limit Hold’em Fall Saver event had a top prize of $83,961, and after a thrilling climax, the talented American pro Martin Zamani took down the tournament for fifth and latest crown. Beating his fellow American Shane Martin heads-up, Zamani ‘s title meant he is the second person ever to win all five WSOP titles in his career in online bracelet events.

Talented Trio Taken Out

As the online event narrowed to a final table of eight players, some of the world’s elite found themselves in contention. Among them was the American David Peters, who continued his recovery from a difficult start to the year with another deep run. Peters, who was outed by Dylan Linde as owing him $50,000 earlier in the year, will be pleased at an eighth place finish worth $8,838 for his $500 buy-in.

Peters was shooting for his own fifth WSOP title, but fell short, as did Jim Collopy, who missed out on a fourth WSOP bracelet when he claimed $11,047 in seventh place. More exits followed for Jeffrey Hoop (6^th for $15,466) and Daniel Maor (3^rd for $45,338) among others, with Maor unable to follow up on his 2024 WSOP Championship in with more gold.

Once he reached the heads-up battle for the bracelet, Martin Zamani took control and got the better of his compatriot Shane Martin. In doing so, Zamani won his fifth WSOP bracelet, with all of his victories coming in WSOP Online events. That’s a record that Zamani shares with Guy Dunlap, who has also won all five of his WSOP bracelets in online events, including in the  NLHE Monster Stack event. While Dunlap is not a live player by any means, cashing for close to $100,000 in his life, Zamani is a crusher, banking $8.5 million at the live felt.

Redemption for Frog Poison Player  to WSOP Gold

Martin Zamani could well claim to be deserving of a little more credit for his run to multiple bracelets in recent years. In 2021, Zamani claimed two online gongs. But a controversial accusation of The Hendon Mob All-Time Money List leader Bryn Kenney caused shock in the industry. Zamani alleged Kenney had ghosted in online events, and even convinced ‘horses’ in his stable to try alternative therapies including frog poison.

Thereafter, Zamani seemed to attract either accusations of making up a story about his friend and mentor or pity from those who believed him. Another WSOP Online bracelet followed before a fourth in 2025 preceded this latest success. In the past five years, winning five bracelets is immense, and that they have all come in online events should not diminish the value of them in real terms.

Zamani, a fixture in Las Vegas based events, including not only WSOP bracelet events, Circuit events and online events, but World Poker Tour stops too, is a powerhouse in the game. Winning major events on the PokerGO Tour events in Poker Masters, U.S. Poker Open and PGT Last Chance series, as well as a EPT Barcelona Hyper NLHE event Zamani’s recent run has put him into the top 250 players of all time.

Hellmuth Still Leads Bracelet Winners List

Phil Hellmuth tops the all-time list of multiple WSOP bracelet winners, with 17 titles, six clear of his closest contender, Phil Ivey on 11. Hellmuth had a shot at his 18^th gong this summer, but he finished second in a $5,000 NLHE 8-max event, where Darren Rabinowitz took the bracelet instead of The Poker Brat.

Behind Ivey, the old guard of Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan and Erik Seidel are tied on 10 bracelets. Seidel had a chance to add to his total too but he lost heads-up in the $3,000 PLO six-max event but Hellmuth may have a different challenger in years to come. Shaun Deeb won the $1,500 8-Game Mix event for his ninth career bracelet, and that came after two runner-up finishes in the Prague-based WSOP Europe festival where Deeb was dined by quads both times.

Michael Mizrachi and Britain’s Benny Glaser have also won nine bracelets, while Kristen Foxen leads the female players on six after another gold bracelet this summer just gone. Naoya Kihara has won two bracelets in 2026 and almost grabbed a third, with WSOP Paradise still to come.

Adrián Mateos beat the All-Time Money List leader Bryn Kenney heads-up in the $250,000 Super High Roller for his sixth bracelet and while he is currently 11 bracelets behind Phil Hellmuth, the Spanish player has won his first six bracelets in less time, with The Poker Brat needing until the age of 32 to reach that number.
