Ran Koller Wins First WSOP Bracelet in Thrilling Tournament
Ran Koller, a poker player from Israel, won his first WSOP bracelet in the WSOP 2021 Event #33: Eight-Handed No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack. He defeated 2,778 players to win the tournament, which had a relatively modest buy-in of $800 and a prize pool of $1,955,710.
Ran Koller won $269,470, the largest payout of his career. He defeated his countryman Ran Ilani in the heads-up final. Ran Ilani won $166,550, the largest payout of his career. Oleg Titov, a well-known Russian poker player, finished fourth and won $94,020.
In the final hand, Koller went all-in on the turn with A♥-4♦-2♦-K♥, holding 5♦-3♣. Ilani called with 7♥-2♥. The river, 9♦, did not improve Ilani's hand to a flush, and Koller became the tournament champion. A total of 417 players made it into the prize zone of the event, with a minimum payout of $1,280.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
