Omar Zazay has won his first World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet, taking down Event #32: $3,000 No-Limit Hold’em. The American defeated fellow countryman Jean-Robert Bellande heads-up to claim the top prize of $538,158.

The four-day event, part of the 57th annual WSOP held at the Horseshoe & Paris Las Vegas, drew a total of 1,300 entries. This figure fell short of the 2,338 entries from the previous year’s iteration of the tournament. The total prize pool reached $1,313,640, with the winner taking home the largest share.

Final Table Action

The final table saw seven players battle for the title. Among them was Jessica Vierling, a German player based in Las Vegas, who entered the final day as the fourth-place stack. Despite a strong showing, Vierling’s tournament run ended in sixth place when she was eliminated by Christos Argyriadis in a hand where her top pair was bested by Argyriadis’s straight on the river. Vierling earned $101,765 for her efforts.

Argyriadis, who held the chip lead at the start of Day 3, also made a deep run, ultimately finishing in third place for $256,761. This set up a heads-up match between two Americans: Jean-Robert Bellande, a well-known high-stakes cash game player, and Omar Zazay.

Zazay, who began the heads-up play with a slight chip advantage, managed to close out the match and secure the victory. For his win, Zazay received $538,158 and his first WSOP gold bracelet.

German and Austrian Players in the Field

Beyond Vierling’s sixth-place finish, other players from the DACH region also participated in the event. Chris Pütz finished in 56th place, earning $9,929, while Klemens Roiter secured 39th place for $13,286.

Early Stages of the Tournament

The tournament began with 980 entries, and late registration remained open until the first level of Day 2, bringing the total to 1,300. Day 2 saw 296 players return to the tables, with Belarus’s Aliaksandr Shylko holding the chip lead. Several German-speaking players, including Hannes Jeschka, David Wintersberger, Jessica Vierling, and Jonas Lauck, successfully advanced to Day 2.

The final payout structure saw 195 players receive a share of the prize pool, with the min-cash set at $9,929. The WSOP continues with a full schedule of events, offering 100 gold bracelets throughout the series until July 15th. Final tables are streamed live on the official WSOP YouTube channel.
