Belgium's Bert Stevens won a record WSOP Online 2023 Main Event
A record-breaking WSOP Online 2023 Main Event on GGPoker has recently completed. The fantastic $5,000 buy-in event attracted 6,023 entries and made history as the tournament with the largest online prize pool of $28,609,250.
The Main Event champion is the well-known streamer Bert "girafganger7" Stevens, who broadcast his game at the final table on Twitch. Thanks to this victory, the Belgian secured two grandiose achievements at once:
- Updated career best cash with $2,783,432 as a first place prize along with a bracelet;
- Took the title of champion of the largest event in terms of prize money online.
Stevens started the game as the chip leader, and by the time he reached 6-max, he had a stack of 115 BB – more chips than all his opponents had in total at the table. In the deciding heads-up, "girafganger7" needed just three hands to defeat China's Yagen Li and win the title. The final hand of the tournament can be seen below.
