The 2025 World Series of Poker ran at the Horseshoe and Paris in Las Vegas from late May into mid-July, awarding 100 gold bracelets across every format the game offers. The summer’s headline belonged to one player, and it was one of the best stories the series has produced in years. Here is the full rundown: the results that mattered, and every bracelet winner.

The Grinder’s Summer

Michael Mizrachi did something no one had done in a single summer. In June he won the $50,000 Poker Players Championship (#66) for $1,331,322 — his fourth title in poker’s toughest mixed-game event, a record. Six weeks later he came back and won the $10,000 Main Event (#81) for $10,000,000, outlasting a field of 9,735. The Poker Players Championship and the Main Event are the two most prestigious titles the WSOP offers, and “The Grinder” took both in the same seven weeks. He had chased the Main Event for two decades; in 2025 he finally got it, and then some.

Benny Glaser’s Three

The other standout was Benny Glaser, who matched Mizrachi’s bracelet count without the marquee events attached. Glaser won three — the $1,500 Dealers Choice (#8), the $1,500 Mixed Omaha (#15), and the $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball (#56) — a mixed-game sweep that put him squarely in the Player of the Year race. Nobody else won more than one.

The High Rollers

The biggest single scores came in the high rollers, as usual. Seth Davies took the $250,000 Super High Roller for $4,752,551. Shaun Deeb won the $100,000 Pot-Limit Omaha for $2,959,297 and Joao Vieira the $100,000 No-Limit for $2,649,158. Khoi Le Nguyen ($50,000, $2,686,913), Dennis Weiss ($25,000 PLO, $2,292,155), Dylan Linde ($50,000 PLO, $2,146,414) and Jason Koon ($50,000, $1,968,927) all cleared seven figures.

Big Fields and Familiar Numbers

The cheap events drew the crowds, as ever. The $300 Gladiators of Poker pulled 24,629 for Ian Pelz, the largest field of the summer; the $1,000 Mystery Millions drew 19,654; and Jesse Yaginuma won the $1,500 Millionaire Maker and its 11,996 runners for $1,255,180. Even the $777 Lucky 7’s paid its traditional $777,777 to the winner, Nelson Mari Sanchez.

One hundred bracelets, and a summer defined by one player. Michael Mizrachi’s Poker Players Championship and Main Event double is the kind of thing that happens once a generation, if that — and it happened in 2025.
