WSOP 2026: Bryce Yockey Dominates Star-Studded Dealer's Choice Championship to Claim Third Bracelet (Event #27)

Event #27: $10,000 Dealer's Choice Championship highlighted the growing popularity of mixed-game formats, attracting a record 163 entries. The total prizepool soared to an impressive $1,515,900, with the top 26 players securing payouts.

This format, where players choose from a variety of poker variants, is traditionally the domain of the world's elite, as evidenced by the final table lineup. Legends like six-time bracelet winner Jeremy Ausmus, Hall of Famer Nick Schulman, and four-time WSOP champion Chad Eveslage were all in the hunt for the title.

The tournament proved unfortunate for Jake Schwartz, who finished third, once again narrowly missing out on his first bracelet.

The bracelet-deciding showdown was swift, with Bryce Yockey entering the heads-up against Ryan Miller with a dominant 8:1 lead, leaving no room for a comeback. Limit Omaha sealed Miller's fate.

In the final hand, Miller went all-in on the flop of 8 s 8 h J s holding K s 7 h 3 d 3 c, but Yockey revealed K c J d 9 h 6 c. The turn Q h and river 5 h didn't help Miller, allowing Yockey to celebrate his third career triumph at the WSOP.
