The first bracelet of the 2026 WSOP Online on GGPoker has been claimed by Brazil.
Raphael Caixeta's victory in the $700 7th Annual WSOP Kickoff earns him his first bracelet and $207,167 between the placement money and bounty prizes – plus a $30,000 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event package.
Caixeta's win also positions his homeland atop the series' promotional leaderboards.
In a strong start to the WSOP Online slate, the Kickoff garnered a field of 3,607 entrants to generate a prize pool of $2,398,665.
There were a number of notables who made the money, but came up short on a final table appearance – including GGPoker Ambassador Kevin Martin, Niklas Astedt, David Williams, Jessica Tuesl, and 2025 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event winner Bernhard Binder.

WSOP Online livestreams abound
The 2026 WSOP Online series runs through September 29 – and with 32 bracelets yet to be awarded, there's plenty of action still to come.
If you want to follow along, we highly recommend checking out Lex Veldhuis' livestreams on Twitch and YouTube. The Dutchman plans to stream his gameplay throughout the series.
And after securing a cash in the first event, Kevin Martin will continue to livestream his tournament action as well.
Daniel Negreanu will also be livestreaming his WSOP Online action – though his streams won't kick off until later in the series.
