Mhatre and Gruneberg Claim WSOP Bracelets in Thrilling Wins

The 2026 World Series of Poker has raced past its halfway point with more than 50 live bracelets already awarded. Another busy day inside the ballrooms of Paris Las Vegas produced another trio of bracelet winners. Abhishek Mhatre won his debut bracelet and the $492,050 first-place prize in the $3,000 six-handed no-limit hold’em event. Zachary Gruneberg earned a far more substantial prize in the first-ever $1,500 five-card pot-limit Omaha bracelet event at the WSOP, claiming his third career WSOP bracelet and $271,552.

Mhatre defeated Martin Jacobson heads-up in the $3,000 six-handed no-limit hold’em event to secure the victory. The final table of the $3,000 six-handed no-limit hold’em event also featured three-time bracelet winner Christopher Vitch and Paulina Loeliger. The 1,150 entrants in this event produced a prize pool of $3,075,500.

Gruneberg outlasted a field of 1,319 entrants to win a first-place prize of $271,552 in the $1,500 five-card pot-limit Omaha event. He defeated Hong Kong’s Hokyiu Lee, the only other bracelet winner at the final table, heads-up to secure the victory.
