One of the most prestigious events of the World Series, the $50k Players Championship, is in the books, and the title and all the fame that goes with it belongs to Brian Rast. The Hall of Fame nominee dominated the 2023 WSOP event, eliminating all four of his remaining opponents on the last day of play.

The tournament attracted a total of 99 players, generating the prize pool of $4.7 million, $1.3 of which went to the winner. But more than money (although a seven-figure cash always comes in handy), Rast sealed his poker legacy, capturing his sixth WSOP gold and becoming only the second player to win this prestigious and extremely tough tournament three times.

On his way to the title, Rast had to outmaneuver the likes of Phil Hellmuth, Josh Arieh, legendary Phil Ivey (finished sixth), and Talal Shakerchi, who was Brian’s last obstacle on his way to the title.

With over $25 million in tournament winnings and a series of impressive wins under his belt, Rast was already a very serious candidate for the Poker Hall of Fame induction, but his most recent feat certainly puts him at the top of the list.
