Kevin Gerhart has won a World Series of Poker gold bracelet each year since first breaking through in 2019. He took down the $1,500 razz event that summer, and then backed that up with title run in the 2020 WSOP Online $500 pot-limit Omaha six-max event. He completed the hat trick with his largest and most prestigious victory yet, overcoming a field of 149 entries to emerge victorious in the 2021 WSOP $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. championship. Gerhart was awarded $361,124 in prize money along with his third career gold bracelet in front of a crowd of supporters on the rail at the main featured table.

Bryce Yockey’s run in this event also came to an end during a round of razz. The bracelet winner got the last of his chip in on third street with (5-4)6 and was up against the (7-2)4 of Eddie Blumenthal and the (6-A)8 of Gerhart. Blumenthal made a 7-6 low by sixth street, at which point Gerhart […]
