This is the prize everyone’s chasing in Las Vegas this summer. Sure, we know it's all about the money, but a WSOP bracelet is poker’s ultimate trophy. And let’s be honest – the only players who say they don’t care about winning one are the ones who already have one.
One bracelet has already been awarded in the $500 Industry Employees event, leaving 98 more on the line — plus a special edition for the Main Event champion.
Phovieng Keokham claimed the first bracelet of the summer in Las Vegas and told us, "I’ve played the series every year for 20+ years, but this is my biggest cash." He took home $64,369, and a WSOP bracelet is a big bonus on top.
2025 WSOP bracelet gets a glow-up
The 2025 bracelet is a more intricate design than the plainer-looking 2024 version. You can see the 2025 and 2024 bracelet designs pictured below — one above, one below. We know which one we prefer.
The next bracelet will be awarded on Friday in the $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better, followed by a glut on Saturday when three more will be handed out: the $5K NLH, $5K PLO, and $1,500 Seven Card Stud.
The first big buy-in will be settled on Sunday when the $25,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship plays out to a winner.
