Adam Friedman

Last year we were praising Adam Friedman for winning the $10,000 Dealer's Choice Championship three times in a row - a feat that is unlikely to be matched in poker. 

On Sunday night he kept the accolades going, as he won the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship for $248,254, besting a field of 95 and a final table that included Phil Ivey.

In doing so he has managed to win four bracelets in four consecutive World Series of Pokers. The only other players who have managed that are Doyle Brunson, Bill Boyd and Loren Klein. His last four bracelets were also all championship titles. 

He is also one of only 30 people to boast five career bracelets overall, having also won a $5,000 Stud Hi/Lo bracelet in 2012. 

While having been somewhat under-the-radar previously, he now surely puts himself in the discussion for best all around/most versatile player in the game. 

Position Player Prize
1st Adam Friedman $248,254
2nd Jean Gaspard $153,433
3rd Phil Ivey $108,233
4th Yuval Bronshtein $78,348
5th Ben Diebold $58,239
6th Marco Johnson $44,487
7th James Paluszek $34,939
8th Yueqi Zhu $28,258

Where does he stand in the best players in WSOP history debate? Let us know in the comments:
