Nathan Gamble Makes WSOP History With Third PLO8 Bracelet
Gamble wins $767,395 in the PLO8 Championship, becoming the most-decorated player in the format's WSOP history.
Nathan Gamble claimed his third World Series of Poker bracelet this week, winning the PLO8 Championship for $767,395 and becoming the most-decorated PLO8 player in WSOP history, according to PokerNews.
Why It Matters
Three bracelets in a single variant is an unprecedented achievement that elevates Gamble into the conversation for all-time WSOP specialists. For players and bettors tracking high-stakes tournament poker, this result signals Gamble as a dominant force in split-pot games — a format requiring mastery of both high and low hands simultaneously. The $767,395 payout reinforces that PLO8 Championship events carry serious prize pools competitive with the largest No-Limit Hold'em fields. As of June 2026, no other player in WSOP history holds three PLO8 bracelets, making this a measurable statistical record, not a subjective claim. Gambling always involves financial risk; tournament poker is no exception.
Context
Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo (PLO8) sits outside mainstream poker coverage but commands a loyal, technically demanding player pool. Accumulating multiple bracelets in any single event type is rare at the WSOP, where field variance and format rotations make repeat wins statistically difficult. Gamble's prior two PLO8 bracelets already marked him as the format's standout specialist before this win.
What's Next
Gamble will likely attract attention from high-stakes PLO8 cash game circuits and major mixed-game events for the remainder of the 2026 WSOP series. A fourth bracelet attempt — whether in PLO8 or an adjacent variant — would extend a legacy that already has no parallel in the format.
