Scott Ball Wins Second Bracelet at WSOP 2021
Scott Ball won his second bracelet at the WSOP 2021, securing victory in the #68 tournament, Little One for One Drop.
Ball's first victory in a prestigious $5,000 tournament helped him overcome negative emotions during the game. His new goal is to win the overall standings in no-limit hold'em. Ball is known for being the father of the poker boom on Twitch, but he is also known as a suspected organizer of closed games for Phil Hellmuth and is disliked by poker authorities such as Doug Polk. However, outside Doug Polk's circle, Ball is not disliked.
Ball's second final appearance was marked by confidence and calmness, as well as the presence of notable players and unique events. His opponents included Sorel Mizzis, who finished third, and Petro Zakusilov, who finished seventh and won $67,592. Alexander Orlov finished 29th and won $3,342, while Ruslan Rogozin finished 48th and won $2,661. Brandon Shac-Harris tested positive for COVID-19, and Eric Rodavig played in a bear costume. Benny Glazer wore a black costume, and Nick Schulman had to withdraw from commentary due to COVID-19. David Moses won the Crazy Eights tournament, and Sergey Kholodyuk finished 13th and won $23,975. Murad Amokran won the pot-limit Omaha tournament, and Kamel Mohammad finished 29th and won $3,315. Motoyoshi Okamura won the mixed game tournament, and Dmitry Shunikov finished 12th and won $10,243. Alexei Shaburo finished 14th and won $8,368. Brian Gastings won his fifth bracelet, and Denis Strebkov won his second bracelet. Kora Aldemir is the chip leader in the main event, and George Holmes is the second in chips.

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.
