Erik Seidel just added another major title to his already impressive poker resume after coming out victorious in Event #7: $50,000 Super High Roller at the ongoing World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise in the Bahamas. The win earned Seidel his 10th gold bracelet, with the $1,704,500 first-place prize also representing his largest WSOP cash thus far.

Seidel defeated Seth Gottlieb heads-up to secure the title, as the latter settled for the runner-up spot with $1,052,800 in winnings.
Overall, the Poker Hall of Famer triumphed against 136 opponents to get to the top, outclassing a tough final table that featured the likes of Orpen Kisacikoglu (3rd, $778,300), Jason Koon (4th, $582,100), Koichi Chiba (5th, $440,500), Alex Foxen (6th, $337,300), Jonathan Jaffe (7th, $261,400), and Adrian Mateos (8th, $205,000).
Seidel Enters Elite Club with 10th Bracelet
Seidel’s Super High Roller victory at WSOP Paradise is another significant achievement for the Hall of Famer, especially as he had not won any live bracelet since 2017. His latest win further establishes his reputation as being among poker’s cream of the crop with 10 gold bracelets, joining Johnny Chan, Phil Ivey, and the late Doyle Brunson.
