Brian Yoon becomes the latest player to win at least four bracelets at this year’s World Series of Poker while Anatolii Zyrin wins his second after a victory in the Colossus. Plus the Poker Player Championship enters a third day.

We take a look at all these stories and more in the Tuesday edition of the WSOP update.

Brian Yoon wins $10,000 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw

Brian Yoon became the latest player to win a 4th bracelet after taking down the $10,000 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship on Monday night. Over three days, he outlasted a field of 80 players to earn an $839,350 first-place prize. Yoon defeated a strong group of players that included Danny Wong ($148,341) heads-up — who led the first two days – Wil Wilkinson ($104,381), Don Nguyen ($74,939), Joao Vieira ($54,993), Brandon Shack Harris ($54,217) and Jorden Siegel ($31,290).

In winning his 4th bracelet, he joins a growing list of players that achieved the feat this year including Ben Yu, John Monnette, Adam Friedman and Farzad Bonyadi. A handful of players have earned even more impressive feats this year. Shaun Deeb and Brian Rast have earned their 5th WSOP bracelets this year, Erik Seidel his 9th and Phil Hellmuth his 16th.

In post-match comments, Brian Yoon said it felt good to win in what is currently his most enjoyable game.

“This is awesome because I would say that right now deuce-to-seven is my favorite game. I’ve been working on this game for several years. I studied and I learned the game. I learned a lot of advanced stuff about this game and it’s great to get to use it.

Anatoliy Zyrin earns 2nd WSOP bracelet after Colossus win

After three days and 9,399 entries, we finally have a winner of the $400 buy-in Colossus No Limit Hold’em. Anatoliy Zyrin outlasted the huge field which included Michael Lee heads-up ($199,450) to win his second gold bracelet and a $314,705 first-place prize. Following Zyrin with six-figure scores was Kevin Rand ($147,595) and Phuoc Nguyen ($112,730).

With his win, Russia’s Zyrin eclipses the $2 million mark in lifetime tournament wins — $2,218,156 to be precise. This wasn’t his biggest-ever win which came during a $5,000 event at the 2019 Merit Poker Retro, a second-place finish for $359,450.

Zyrin’s first bracelet came at the $1,500 Omaha Mix in 2019, but in post-match comments, he indicated he was the proudest of this event. “The first one was more luck, but this one was won on skill. I had to defeat such a large field. Really strange feeling when you win against more than 9,000 people.”
