The 2021 World Series of Poker was the final one from the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the series would be known for poker professionals becoming multi-time WSOP bracelet winners. Josh Arieh, Scott Ball, Anthony Zinno, Kevin Gerhart, Jeremy Ausmus, and Michael Addamo all won two bracelets, while WSOP stalwarts Shaun Deeb, Adrian Mateos, Benny Glaser, Yuval Bronshtein, Brian Hastings, Ben Yu, Brian Rast, Farzad Bonyadi, Tommy Le, Adam Friedman, David "Bakes" Baker, Chance Kornuth, and John Monnette all added to their collection. Daniel Negreanu and 16-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth fought to the very end, but it would be Arieh with two WSOP bracelets and 12 cashes that see him crowned 2021 WSOP Player of the Year.
