WSOP 2026: Harry Rubin Wins His First Gold Bracelet in $1K PLO (Event #57)

Article cover

Event #57: $1K PLO drew a massive field of 3,763 entries to Horseshoe & Paris Las Vegas, creating a prizepool of $2,558,182. Rubin entered the final day as one of the 23 remaining players and sat at the final table with a commanding lead, boasting more than double the stack of his closest rival, James Sedlacek.

Rubin's path to victory was a display of sheer strength. He knocked out several opponents, and even when he briefly lost the lead during five-handed play, he stayed composed and regained his significant advantage.

The heads-up against Romania's Narcis-Gabriel Nedelcu was remarkably swift, decided on the very first hand. On a board of 7 s 7 h K d 5 d 9 s, the players went all-in after the turn. Nedelcu held the top pair with A d K s J s 4 h. Rubin showed A s 9 d 9 c 7 c and sealed his triumph with a full house thanks to the nine on the river.
