Bryce Yockey Wins Third WSOP Bracelet at Dealers Choice
Mixed-game specialist dominates the $10,000 Dealers Choice Championship for a historic third title.
Bryce Yockey claimed his third World Series of Poker bracelet this week, defeating a stacked final table to win the $10,000 Dealers Choice Championship, according to Card Player.
Why It Matters
Three bracelets in the Dealers Choice format — one of poker's most skill-intensive events, requiring mastery across multiple game variants — signals Yockey as one of the game's premier mixed-game specialists. For recreational players and bettors tracking futures markets, multi-bracelet winners at high-stakes buy-in events carry genuine signal: the $10,000 entry filters out soft fields, making the result statistically meaningful. As of June 2026, WSOP bracelet counts remain a primary credentialing metric in professional poker, directly influencing sponsorship valuations and tournament seedings. Gambling always carries risk, but following specialist performers in mixed-game events offers sharper analytical footing than chasing results in larger, variance-heavy No-Limit Hold'em fields.
Context
Dealers Choice events require players to select the game variant each hand, rewarding those with deep knowledge across Omaha, Stud, Razz, and dozens of obscure formats. Winning three bracelets in this category — rather than accumulating them across easier formats — puts Yockey in rare company among living mixed-game players. The WSOP $10,000 Championship buy-in tier consistently attracts the highest concentration of professional talent on the circuit.
What's Next
Yockey will likely continue competing through the remainder of the 2026 WSOP series, where additional mixed-game and high-roller events remain on the schedule. A fourth bracelet would place him among the most decorated active mixed-game specialists in tournament history.
