Nguyen Le wins $50,000 High Roller bracelet
His third major title in seven months and a first career bracelet for the emerging star of poker.
The final $50,000 High Roller event of the 2025 World Series of Poker is over, with Nguyen Le furthering what has been a stellar year.
He defeated Alexandre Reard heads-up for his first bracelet and $2,686,913 first prize.
It was a packed field of 252 players and a near miss for POY leader Shaun Deeb, who finished in 19th place but may have guaranteed the leaderboard had he finished a little higher.
Le started the year by winning the $3,500 Borgata Winter Poker Open for $425,000 and just a few days ago won the BetMGM Poker Championship for $777,777 - an event he made headlines for after coming back from being down to a single chip with 11 remaining.
His 2025 earnings now exceed $4 million with three major championships to his name.
