The 2026 World Series of Poker Online on GGPoker crowned two bracelet winners this week. 

Max Stenberg, of Sweden, earned his first bracelet in the $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship – triumphing over a field of 327 players to claim the $282,125 first-place prize and a $30,000 Super Pass for WSOP Paradise later this year. 

Stenberg defeated Romania's Narcis Nedelcu during heads-up play and outlasted several well-known four-card crushers en route to victory, including Lautaro Guerra (4th) and GGPoker ambassador and 2025 WSOP Main Event champion Michael 'The Grinder' Mizrachi (13th). 

Aside from the obvious excitement of a first WSOP bracelet, Stenberg's win also provides he and his countrymen with added reason to celebrate as players from across the nation are now well positioned to partake in one of the post-series nationwide freeroll tournaments. As part of its promotional offerings for the series, GGPoker set aside $1M in added prize money to be distributed to the Top 10 nations on the Bracelet Leaderboard.
