The 2023 World Series of Poker was held on the Las Vegas Strip at Horseshoe / Paris Las Vegas, and it saw a mix of poker professionals win their first WSOP bracelet, or add to their collection. Isaac Haxton, Alexandre Vuilleumier, Jerry Wong, Chris Brewer, Scott Abrams, Ryan Miller, and Nick Pupillo all won their first WSOP bracelet. Adding to their collection of WSOP gold included Phil Hellmuth, Shaun Deeb, Josh Arieh, Chad Eveslage, Jim Collopy, David 'ODB' Baker, John Monnette, Chris Klodnicki, Benny Glaser, Mike Gorodinsky, and Jeremy Ausmus, and Brian Rast. The race for the 2023 WSOP Player of the Year went to the wire as Ian Matakis held off Shaun Deeb, Chris Brewer, and Josh Arieh to cap off a series that included his first WSOP bracelet and 22 cashes.
