WSOP 2026: Yuri Dzivielevski Dominates $100K High Roller, Clinches Sixth Bracelet (Event #36)

The second most expensive event of the WSOP 2026 calendar and the priciest so far was Event #36: $100K High Roller NLH. Elite players flocked to compete for the coveted bracelet, generating 115 entries and pushing the prizepool to $11,040,000.

Dzivielevski's path to victory is even more remarkable as he entered the tournament at the last possible moment during the final level of late registration. After a challenging day, where he was eliminated from two other tournaments, he initially didn't feel in the right mindset. However, after a break, he returned to deliver a career-defining performance.

Despite having six bracelets already, Yuri Dzivielevski couldn't hold back tears, attributing them to his deep connection with the discipline. “This victory was very emotional. No-Limit Hold'em is a game I've dedicated my life to, and that's why these tears flowed,” explained the Brazilian pro.

Besides the professional achievement, personal circumstances also played a role, as he's in Las Vegas without his pregnant wife. The Brazilian champion even announced that he would skip this year's Main Event to prepare for their second son's birth in mid-July.

The road to the title wasn't easy. Though Dzivielevski eliminated six opponents at the final table, he faced a significant 4:1 chip deficit in the concluding heads-up against Teun Mulder. His patient play helped him level the score, and in the final hand of the tournament, his pair 9 d 9 c held strong against Mulder’s A s 9 s on a board of J c 6 s 5 c 6 c 3 s.
