Perry Green, 90, Reaches WSOP Final Table in 2026
The three-bracelet legend makes his first WSOP final table in 11 years at age 90.

Perry Green, aged 90, reached a World Series of Poker final table this week — his first in 11 years — falling just short of a fourth career bracelet, according to Poker.org.
Why It Matters
Green's run signals that the WSOP draws a genuinely multigenerational field, not just younger, solver-trained players. For recreational and older players, it offers a concrete counter-narrative to the idea that modern tournament poker has become inaccessible to anyone without a GTO background. Tournament operators and cardrooms may also point to stories like this when marketing live events to older demographics. Gambling always carries financial risk, but Green's run underscores that skill and experience accumulated over decades still transfers at the highest level.
Context
Perry Green holds three WSOP bracelets and is one of Alaska's most celebrated poker exports, having competed at the highest levels of the game since the 1970s. As of May 2026, he remains one of the oldest players ever to make a WSOP final table. His previous final table appearance came 11 years before this week's run, making the return all the more striking.
What's Next
Green will likely continue competing in the 2026 WSOP series in Las Vegas, where additional bracelet events remain on the schedule. A fourth bracelet would cement his status as one of the most durable competitive players in the tournament's history.
