Jeremy Ausmus Captures Sixth World Series of Poker Bracelet43-Year-Old Poker Pro Becomes 19th Player In History To Have Won Six or More WSOP Titles |
|
At the start of the 2021 World Series of Poker, Jeremy Ausmus had one bracelet to his name. Now, roughly midway through the 2023 WSOP, the 43-year-old poker pro has joined the elite ranks of players with six or more bracelets. Ausmus took down the 2023 WSOP Online $3,200 no-limit hold’em high roller event in the wee hours of June 21, topping a field of 321 entries to earn $360,036 and his sixth title at the series.
Ausmus is just the 19th player in history to have earned as many titles at the series. Earlier this summer, Shaun Deeb became the 18th with his win in a $1,500 eight-game mix.
The Las Vegas resident made the WSOP main event final table back in 2012, finishing fifth for over $2.1 million. The following year, he won his first bracelet by taking down a €1,650 pot-limit Omaha event at the 2013 WSOP Europe series.
His recent hot streak at the series began in 2021. He took down two bracelets that summer, winning a $1,000 charity event to start before coming out on top in the $50,000 pot-limit Omaha high roller for nearly $1.2 million.
In 2022 he secured another two WSOP titles, emerging victorious in a $3,000 limit hold’em six-max event and a $365 buy-in no-limit hold’em event online to bring his bracelet total to five.
This event took more than 13 hours to narrow the field of 321 entries down to a winner. The top 54 finishers made the money, with big names that ran deep including bracelet winner and seven-time Triton Poker champion Jason Koon (14th), bracelet winner Boris Kolev (13th), bracelet winner Arkadiy Tsinis 911th), Tom Marchese (9th), 2021 WSOP main event champion Koray Aldemir (6th), three-time bracelet winner Chance Kornuth (4th), and bracelet winner Christopher Castiglia (2nd).
The final hand saw Castiglia shove roughly nine big blinds with 10-7 suited from the button. Ausmus quickly called with pocket kings and held through the river, making a set of kings to scoop the pot and the title. Castiglia, who won an online bracelet last year in a $500 buy-in turbo event, earned $224,632 as the runner-up.
Ausmus now has more than $16.3 million in recorded earnings to his name, with more than $7.3 million of that coming from cashes in bracelet events.
Here is a look at the payouts from the final table:
