Nick Schulman Wins 8th WSOP Bracelet in HORSE Event
Veteran mixed-game specialist denies another first-timer at the $1,500 HORSE event in June 2026.
Nick Schulman claimed his eighth World Series of Poker bracelet this week, defeating another first-time finalist in the $1,500 HORSE event at the 2026 WSOP, according to Poker.org.
Why It Matters
Eight bracelets place Schulman among the most decorated mixed-game specialists in WSOP history, a short list that elevates his market value for sponsorships, staking arrangements, and instructional content in an era when high-stakes mixed-game action drives significant viewership. The pattern of Schulman repeatedly denying first-time hopefuls their breakthrough win underscores how elite mixed-game veterans maintain a structural edge over field entrants — relevant context for bettors and fantasy poker participants pricing tournament futures. For recreational players, the $1,500 buy-in price point demonstrates that elite competition concentrates even at lower entry thresholds. Gambling in any form, including poker tournaments, carries financial risk.
Context
HORSE rotates through Hold'em, Omaha Hi-Lo, Razz, Seven-Card Stud, and Stud Eight-or-Better, demanding consistent proficiency across formats rather than specialisation in a single game. As of June 2026, the WSOP continues its annual summer series at its Las Vegas venue, with dozens of bracelet events still on the schedule. Schulman has built his reputation specifically in mixed-game formats, making him a consistent threat whenever HORSE or similar multi-discipline events run.
What's Next
Schulman will likely enter further mixed-game and high-roller events during the remaining 2026 WSOP schedule. Watch for his bracelet count to become a live narrative thread as the series approaches its Main Event.
