David Peters Wins 2026 WSOP Six-Max Championship

David Peters, a 39-year-old Ohio native, won the $10,000 six-handed no-limit hold’em championship for his fifth career WSOP bracelet and a $1,001,391 payday. Peters defeated Fahredin Mustafov heads-up to seal his milestone bracelet win.

Calvin Anderson, who won his sixth and seventh bracelets earlier on at the 2026 WSOP, narrowly missed out on joining an elite group of players with three wins in a single summer and settled for third place.

The $10,000 buy-in six-handed no-limit hold’em event near the end of the line drew 558 entrants, and created a prize pool of $5,189,400. A total of 85 players reached the money, with five-time bracelet winner Brian Yoon (79th – $20,144), WSOP POY frontrunner Alex Foxen (65th – $20,144), 2026 WSOP Hall of Fame finalist Chris Moorman (45th – $22,951), and double 2026 WSOP bracelet winner Eelis Parssinen (11th – $65,643) among the many notables to cash.
