British player Jamie Dwan became the winner of the $50,000 High Roller tournament at the 2026 WSOP in Las Vegas. For first place he received $2,276,691 in prize money and earned the first gold bracelet of his career. The tournament attracted 202 entrants, forming a prize pool of $9,595,000.

In the heads-up, Dwan defeated Austrian Daniel Rezaei, who started the match with a five-to-one chip advantage. In the decisive hand, the Brit's ♣️♦️ held against his opponent's ♠️♠️.

Also battling at the final table were the all-time poker money list leader Bryn Kenney (3rd place, $1,041,908), Poker Hall of Fame member Daniel Negreanu (8th place, $226,086), and Lithuanian Paulius Vaitiekunas (4th place, $731,733).

For the 26-year-old player, this victory was the biggest achievement of his career. His previous best live result did not exceed $76,254. After the win, the player dedicated the bracelet to his ill mother.
"This win is for my mom, it's her birthday next week. She's seriously ill right now, and all I wanted with all my heart this summer was to come back home to her with a gold bracelet. This is literally a poker dream coming true."
