Some of the Best Poker Players Who Haven't Won a WSOP Bracelet

Livello 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

While winning a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet is one of the greatest accomplishments a poker player can achieve, many of the greatest and most successful players in the game have yet to put one on their wrists.

PokerNews has had a decent track record with highlighting players without bracelets who have gone on to win them. Jason Koon won a maiden bracelet in 2021 after making the "Best Without a Bracelet" list that year, while Dan Smith and Alex Foxen both found bracelets in 2022 to be removed from that year's list.

With the 2023 WSOP happening now, here's a look at some of the best players who have yet to add a World Series bracelet to their long lists of accolades.

After getting an early double up, Henrik Brockmann was all in and at risk from the small blind with his last 670,000 in the middle. Felipe Ramos, in the big blind, called the shove.

Henrik Brockmann: K♦2♥
Felipe Ramos: A♥9♦

Brockmann had the worst of it once again and he had one foot out of the door following the 6♣6♥4♦ flop and 8♠ turn. However, the 2♠ river paired up Brockmann and confirmed another double up.

Felipe Ramos	3,350,000 -805,000	-805,000

Eyer Rivers Broadway

Livello 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Aaron Kirshenberg opened to 175,000 from early position and chip leader Jeremey Eyer called from the button.

Eyer called bets of 110,000 and 325,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to show A♥Q♣4♦J♥10♦.

Kirshenberg thought for around 30 seconds before checking. Eyer then fired for 550,000 and after some elongated thinking time, Kirshenberg called despite agonizing over the spot he found himself in.

Eyer turned over his K♥Q♥ for Broadway and his opponent mucked.

Livello 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Henrik Brockmann jammed for 305,000 from the cutoff and was called by Christina Gollins from the button.

Henrik Brockmann: Q♥9♥
Christina Gollins: A♥10♥

Brockmann sighed as the cards were tabled but was delighted to see the K♠Q♦Q♣ flop. The 9♠ turn improved him to a full house turn and the 5♣ river was irrelevant. Brockmann bagged an early double.

"First one," Brockmann gestured to his rail.
