Four of a Kind and Pocket A: Dennis Weiss wins his third WSOP gold bracelet by luck.

German player Dennis Weiss won his third WSOP gold bracelet in the $1,500 Limit Hold'em event, earning $133,704. He was lucky enough to get aces and quads on the final day, defeating Omar Mehmood to claim the title.

After a rollercoaster-like final table, Dennis Weiss emerged victorious in the thrilling final day of the #30:$1,500 Limit Texas Hold'em 7-Max event, taking home $133,704 and winning his third World Series of Poker (WSOP) gold bracelet.

Weiss's first two gold bracelets were both from PLO events. According to The Hendon Mob, today's victory brings his career winnings to over $3,600,000.

"This win was a lot of fun," Weiss said, comparing this victory to his previous ones. "Last year I tested the waters in some $1,500 mixed tournaments. I did a little research and found those games fun. So this felt different; it was a fun way to play."

Only eight players returned to Day 3 to compete for the championship. Weiss held a near 3:1 chip lead against WSOP regular Omar Mehmood in heads-up play and ultimately secured the victory under the lights of Paris and Horseshoe Las Vegas.

Weiss won his first WSOP gold bracelet at the 2024 WSOP Europe with the $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event. Last year in Las Vegas, he added another, winning the $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller 8-Max event, earning his career-high live winnings, surpassing the $2,000,000.

This victory marks Weiss's fourth-highest career prize. Shortly before the start of this year's WSOP, he also won the EPT Monte Carlo $30,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Max event, earning over $400,000.

But Weiss admitted to PokerNews that he was actually quite lucky on his way to the championship.

"Towards the end of the second day, I had very few chips, and then I got lucky a few times."

"And today, when I only had about two big bets left, they gave me ace directly from the big blind, which was absolutely the luckiest thing that ever happened to me."

With over $130,000 in winnings today, Weiss says there's only one thing left on his poker wish list.

"Just keep enjoying the game."

Day 3 Final Table Match Results

The 105 competitors who started on the second day were reduced to 8 after just ten levels, and they returned to the third day to compete for the championship.

Patrick Leonard and Ronnie Bardah were the most watched players at the final table, but Vo Ngo started the day as the chip leader.

After Joseph Salorio was eliminated first, the competition lasted for nearly four more hours before the final table was reduced to six players, with Ngo being eliminated in seventh place.

With chips flying back and forth, Bardah was the biggest beneficiary, building a solid chip lead for himself.

Leonard was unable to find his rhythm and was eventually eliminated in sixth place.

After Leonard's departure, the competition intensified. Thomas Miressi maintained a short chip for most of the day, becoming the fifth player to be eliminated. Jorge Ufano followed closely behind, finishing in fourth place.

During the three-player battle, chips flew back and forth, with Bardah and Mehmood exchanging the lead multiple times.

Bardah then began losing chips to his two opponents. In one hand, Weiss won three streets of payouts from Bardah with a flush, significantly increasing his chip stack.

This hand put Weiss in the lead, and from then on he began to apply pressure.

Bardah never regained his momentum and was eventually pushed down to less than five big bets. Under pressure, he succumbed, going all-in with pocket nines against Weiss' pocket sevens despite having a pre-flop lead, resulting in his elimination. Weiss seemed to be blessed by the poker gods, eventually hitting four of a kind to send Bardah out of the game and finish in third place.

Weiss entered the heads-up match against Mehmood with a chip lead of nearly 3:1. Although Mehmood fought back and narrowed the gap, this day seemed destined to belong to Weiss.

The heads-up match lasted for nearly three levels. When the players returned from a short break, Weiss regained control and extended his lead. Mehmood was forced to fold in two large pots and eventually fell to less than two large bets.

In the final hand of heads-up play, Weiss's 98 led Mehmood's A7 on the flop and hit two pair, sending his opponent to second place.
