Adrian Mateos Captures Sixth WSOP Bracelet in $250K Super High Roller, Enters Elite Company (US)
A rising Spanish star just crashed poker’s most exclusive party and walked away with both the trophy and a place among the immortals. Adrian Mateos has won the 2024 World Series of Poker $250,000 Super High Roller, securing his sixth career bracelet and cementing his status as one of the game’s all-time greats.
The 29-year-old phenom outlasted a field of 59 of the world’s wealthiest and most accomplished poker professionals at the Horseshoe Las Vegas, banking a career-best payday of over $3.9 million. This victory places Mateos in a tie with legends like Daniel Negreanu and Brian Rast at six bracelets, while also matching the European record for WSOP titles held by poker icon Phil Ivey. The final table was a veritable “who’s who,” featuring seven-time bracelet winner Erik Seidel and high-stakes crusher Ben Tollerene, but Mateos navigated the landmine field with characteristic grace. His heads-up victory against Ukrainian pro Artur Martirosyan was a masterclass in aggression and patience under the highest possible stakes.
“This is the pinnacle of poker,” said Mateos in a post-win interview. “To win the biggest buy-in event of the summer against this field is a dream come true. Every pot felt like a final table itself.” Mateos now boasts over $49 million in live tournament earnings, and this win proves his ability to dominate the modern, ultra-aggressive high-roller circuit is unmatched.
