Former Main Event Champion Koray Aldemir Wins Second Bracelet at WSOP Paradise

2021 WSOP Main Event champion Koray Aldemir has earned his second gold bracelet, defeating Felipe Ramos heads-up to win Event #12: $10,000 8-Game Mix 6-Handed.

He becomes the first former Las Vegas Main Event champion to win a bracelet since Phil Hellmuth in 2023.

After taking pictures with his second WSOP bracelet, and comparing it to his 2021 WSOP Main Event bracelet, Aldemir joked with reporters: "This one feels a bit smaller!" The German outlasted a field of 115 entries and an extra day on the schedule to take home $287,800, denying Ramos his first bracelet.
