Dunaway and Holtz Among 2026 WSOP Bracelet Winners
Four players claim gold in the latest wave of 2026 World Series of Poker final tables.
Braxton Dunaway, Michael Holtz, Brayden Lou, and Brent Gregory each claimed a gold bracelet at the 2026 World Series of Poker, according to Card Player, reporting this week from the latest wave of final tables.
Why It Matters
Four new bracelet winners in a single cycle signals that the 2026 WSOP is running at a high pace, sustaining player interest and prize-pool volume. For poker bettors and fantasy poker players, fresh bracelet winners entering the winner's circle shift odds and prop markets for Player of the Year races. Dunaway and Holtz, named in the headline, draw the most immediate attention for those tracking emerging tournament talent. Results at this stage of the Series also influence late-registration demand for upcoming high-stakes events.
Context
The World Series of Poker, held annually in Las Vegas, represents the sport's most prestigious event calendar, with bracelet wins serving as career-defining milestones. As of June 2026, the Series is mid-run, producing multiple bracelet events per day across a range of buy-in levels. Holtz and Dunaway join a 2026 winner's list that will ultimately number in the dozens by the time the Main Event concludes.
