Tobias Peters Finally Wins a WSOP Bracelet After 11 Years

Veteran poker player Tobias Peters has finally won a World Series of Poker gold bracelet after 11 years of trials and tribulations.

The one-day event went on until around 6am the following morning when Barny Boatman of Hendon Mob fame was defeated, the last of the 495 entries that stood in the way of Peters from claiming his life’s goal.

The top three finishers also won an entry ticket for the 2023 WSOP Europe Main Event.

Speaking after his victory, Peters said:

"I didn't care about the €200,000 [his prize from the Colossus]. The sixty thousand was nice, but I wanted the bracelet. The day after, I jumped into the Six-Max, and then I won the bracelet.

"But for this one, I really didn't care about the money. I only cared about the bracelet because I didn't have it. I already finished in almost every spot on the final table in WSOP tournaments.

"In any other tournament, I would put my chips in much earlier because the money jumps were not important to me at that stage. But just because it was a bracelet event, I was so careful with my chips and I really wanted to stay alive as long as possible."

Omar Eljach Denied His Third WSOP Bracelet

Omar Eljach, winner of the 2022 €10,350 No Limit Hold'em - WSOPE Main Event, has been denied his third bracelet by Wing Po Liu in Event #6: €5,000 Pot Limit Omaha.

Eljach has been in good form and picked up his second bracelet last week in Event #2 but couldn’t get over the line in this one. However, he must be feeling confident of a good run in the Main Event when the time comes to defend his title.

Wing Po Liu was understandably ecstatic after winning his first WSOP bracelet and was somewhat shocked that his breakout win came in a game he’s not that familiar with.

"I still cannot believe I won because I rarely play PLO tournaments. I wanted to try some new games because No-Limit Hold'em can be boring. Some days just fold fold fold fold.

"I don't really study PLO, but some is similar to No-Limit tournaments, like ICM pressure or something like that. I'm mostly just learning while I'm playing... it's actually so ridiculous because my first professional win was a PLO tournament."
