Ori Hasson has claimed his first World Series of Poker bracelet after topping Event #93: $1,500 The Closer No-Limit Hold’em. The Israeli player secured $582,800, marking a new career-high cash for him.
The event drew a massive turnout of 3,724 entries across two starting flights, building a prize pool of $4,526,376. A total of 421 players returned for Day 2, held at the Paris and Horseshoe Las Vegas.
David Yue started Day 2 as chip leader after being the only player to surpass two million chips during the opening flights, but he fell in 54th place as the fast-paced 30-minute levels quickly thinned the field. Several notable pros, including Anthony Marquez, Nick Guagenti, and David “ODB” Baker, were eliminated before the unofficial final table was set.
Kevin Song entered the final table with a commanding chip lead, while Hasson sat comfortably in second. Maurice Tan and Yita Choong both made strong pushes, with Choong climbing to third before being eliminated in sixth place by Hasson.
Hasson gained momentum through the late stages, winning key pots against Song and eventually eliminating Tan in third place to take a near 2-1 chip advantage into heads-up play.
The heads-up battle was tight until the final hand, when both players flopped a mid pair. Song committed his stack, but Hasson’s two pair on the turn sealed the victory, giving him his first live WSOP bracelet.
