Nick Schulman Wins Eighth WSOP Bracelet in HORSE
Hall of Famer beats Clayton Mozdzen for $183,366 and joins poker's bracelet elite
Nick Schulman defeated Clayton Mozdzen in the $1,500 HORSE event at the 2026 World Series of Poker to claim his eighth bracelet and $183,366, per PokerNews (June 13, 2026).
Why It Matters
Eight bracelets places Schulman among a tiny elite in poker history — a threshold only a handful of players have ever crossed. His Hall of Fame induction, already secured, now looks even more justified by this result. For poker bettors and fans tracking WSOP futures markets, Schulman's win serves as a reminder that mixed-game specialists can outperform the field in a tournament landscape increasingly dominated by No-Limit Hold'em grinders. As of June 2026, the WSOP remains one of the few live poker series with active real-money prop and futures betting available through licensed sportsbooks, meaning results like this directly affect open wagering positions. Gambling involves real financial risk; any active futures bets on WSOP bracelet counts should be reviewed accordingly.
Context
Schulman entered the 2026 WSOP series as a Hall of Famer already cemented in the game's record books. His previous seven bracelets spanned multiple disciplines, and HORSE — a five-game rotation encompassing Hold'em, Omaha hi-lo, Razz, Stud, and Stud Eight-or-better — suits his mixed-game background precisely. According to PokerNews, the win came against Clayton Mozdzen in heads-up play.
What's Next
Schulman sits within striking distance of the all-time bracelet leaders, and the 2026 WSOP series continues through the summer. Whether he targets a ninth — and how oddsmakers price that possibility — will be worth monitoring across sportsbooks carrying WSOP prop markets.
