It’s a feat so rare that only a handful of poker legends have pulled it off and now Adrián Mateos has added his name to the list.
With his fifth World Series of Poker bracelet secured 10 days before turning 31, Mateos becomes only the fifth player in history to win five WSOP titles by age 30, joining the elite company of Phil Ivey (28), Phil Hellmuth (29), Allen Cunningham (30), and Daniel Alaei (30).
Mateos' latest WSOP triumph came in the Hybrid Online/Live Event – Event #11: $3,200 NLH High Roller — which began online before concluding with the live final table at the Horseshoe Events Center on Saturday.
