Is there a better way to end the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) than by winning a bracelet? Probably not, and that’s exactly what She Wong did by taking down the final event of the summer at Paris and Horseshoe Las Vegas, the $1,000 Super Turbo No-Limit Hold’em.

A total of 1,699 entries were recorded in this tournament, creating a $1,495,120 prize pool. After navigating a slow-paced final table where the average stack never climbed much above ten big blinds, Wong defeated Ryuta Nakai heads-up to capture his first WSOP bracelet and the top prize of $216,286.

Nakai earned $144,101 for his runner-up finish, while Dzmitry Urbanovich, winner of the $10,000 8-Game Mixed Championship earlier this summer, rounded out the podium with a third-place finish worth $104,032.

Winner's Reaction

“Oh my God, oh my God,” Wong kept repeating in disbelief after winning his bracelet. Overcome with emotion, he teared up as his friends rushed over to celebrate before joining him for the winner’s photos.

“I’ve been waiting for this for a long time,” he eventually said. “I’m so happy, and I’m happy I had my friends here to support me,” he added, pointing to Xiang Lin, who narrowly missed out on his own first bracelet just a day earlier with a third-place finish in the $500 Summer Saver.

Wong explained that he began playing poker in 2013 by “learning and learning more,” but has been taking tournaments much more seriously over the last two years. The Hong Kong-based player already had several strong results to his name, including a 13th-place finish in the Monster Stack earlier this summer. “I gained experience from these tournaments. That’s why I played this one feeling better,” he said.

After a day filled with “ups and downs, ups and downs,” Wong finally got his hands on the bracelet he had been chasing. His immediate plans, however, are much less ambitious. “Holidays. I’ll go back to Hong Kong, maybe play tournaments in Asia, and come back here in December.”

Today's Action

For this last event of the summer, a total of 1,699 entries were recorded by the time late registration closed at the end of Level 10. Among those who failed to make the money were Alex Foxen, who was eliminated on the final-table bubble of the $25,000 High Roller H.O.R.S.E. earlier, as well as Aristidis Fotopoulos and Marc-Andre Yelle, who were both eliminated moments before the hand-for-hand procedure began.

Their eliminations guaranteed the remaining 255 players a minimum cash prize of $2,005, which players such as Alexandra Loveless (228th), Armin Rezaei (218th), Simon Wilson (212th), Maria Konnikova (209th), Pierre Calamusa (197th), Daniel Negreanu (192nd), and Viktor Blom (189th) collected after they were sent to the rail.

Of the 255 players who made the money, only 95 survived through Level 21 to earn a 60-minute dinner break before returning for the final sprint to the bracelet.

More players quickly hit the rail after the restart, including Trung Le (78th), the only casualty of a three-way all-in. Shawn Buchanan (73rd), Dominick Sarle (70th), Samuel Ju (41st), and 2013 WSOP Main Event champion Ryan Riess (29th) also bowed out after the dinner break as the field shrank to the final three tables.

In the meantime, Nakai cracked aces and ace-king with king-seven in a three-way all-in to triple up, though he remained well behind chip leaders Wong and Jongwook Lee when play reached the final two tables.

With the average stack around ten big blinds, every player was just one hand away from either building a stack or heading to the payout desk. The latter fate befell Jon Turner (15th), who ran into Dzmitry Urbanovich’s ace-king, and Aaron Kupin (13th), who fell to Nakai’s king-nine.

Others managed remarkable comebacks instead. Maxwell Franklin rebounded from less than one big blind to make the final table, while Nick Yunis surged from three big blinds to the chip lead by the time the unofficial final table was reached.

David Yedvobnick was the first final table casualty, finishing in 10th after falling to Nakai’s runner-runner straight. He was soon followed by Hai Nguyen, then Jongwook Lee, who couldn’t improve against Urbanovich’s pocket sixes.

Despite the average stack dipping to just seven big blinds, the stacks became even, including that of Yunis. He eventually moved all in with ace-queen but lost a coin flip to Wong’s pocket nines. Urbanovich and Franklin had better fortune, both doubling up, with Franklin even knocking out Antuan Bunkley in sixth place.

After hanging on for quite some time, Cynthia Vencebi eventually bowed out in fifth place. A few hands later, Wong spiked a two-outer to double through Franklin, leaving the Englishman with just two big blinds. Franklin moved all in the very next hand but was eliminated by Nakai’s queen-jack.

The final three players then enjoyed a short break before returning to the table. It was a rough restart for Urbanovich, who immediately doubled up Wong. The $10,000 8-Game Mixed Championship winner managed to double up himself a few hands later, but ran his ace-ten into Nakai’s ace-king and was eliminated on the very next hand.

Nakai and Wong began heads-up play with almost identical stacks. The two players then doubled through each other before Wong made a good river call to seize a commanding lead.

A few hands later, Wong’s ace-deuce held against Nakai’s eight-nine, securing the victory and sending the bracelet to Wong.
