The 2026 World Series of Poker Online features three hybrid events, each of which plays on WSOP Online until the final table, which reconvenes live and in-person in Las Vegas to decide a champion.
On Monday, June 29, the WSOP Online $5,300 no-limit hold’em six-max championship saw an absolutely stacked half-dozen contenders show up to Paris Las Vegas, including eight-time bracelet winner Nick Schulman, six-time bracelet winner Adrian Mateos, high-stakes regular Dejan Kaladjurdjevic, bracelet winner Pedro Neves, and two-time bracelet winner Shannon Shorr.

In the end, it was popular poker vlogger Ethan ‘Rampage’ Yau who emerged victorious, defeating Mateos heads-up to secure his second career bracelet and the top prize of $228,825.
Yau, who has over half of a million followers across Instagram and YouTube, now has over $4.9 million in recorded tournament earnings. This was his third-largest payday yet, following a $894,240 win in a $25,000 high roller at the 2022 World Poker Tour World Championship and a win in the 2021 MSPT Venetian main event for $230,379.
Red-Hot Summer Run For Rampage
This tournament win came hot on the heels of a massive live-streamed cash game spree for Yau. In three sessions of high-stakes play, he accumulated over $1.3 million in profits.
That included a massive $676,000 pot where his K♣Q♦ held against the K♦6♣ of two-time bracelet winner Michael ‘Texas Mike’ Moncek.

Thinning The Field
The final table began with Schulman in the lead and Yau in second chip position. Schulman was ultimately the first to fall. He lost a big clash with pocket nines against the flopped trip tens of Kaladjurdjevic to fall towards the bottom of the counts. He then was outraced by the pocket threes of Mateos, which held against A-6 to send Schulman packing in sixth place ($50,850).
Yau doubled during five-handed play, with A♣Q♦ holding off Q♣J♣ for Kaladjurdjevic. That gave Yau the lead, which he soon expanded with pocket tens winning a flip against A♦Q♥ for Neves (5th – $62,150).
Shorr soon busted Kaladjurdjevic (4th – $96,050), with A♦Q♥ holding against A♠10♠ on a J♠J♦6♥8♦7♣. The Montenegrin now had nearly $6.8 million in career cashes to his name.
A preflop race spelled Shorr’s end, though. His 5♠5♦ squared off against A♥K♦ for Mateos. The Q♥5♥4♥ flop improved Shorr to middle set, but also gave Mateos outs to an ace-high flush. The 2♥ turn completed Mateos’ flush, leaving Shorr in need of a board pair on the end. The 3♦ rolled off instead and Shorr settled for $129,950 as the third-place finisher.
Rampage Vs. Mateos For The Gold
Mateos, who has over $69.8 million in overall career cashes to his name, held roughly a 6:5 chip lead when heads-up play began. Yau won a big pot with Q♣9♣ against Q♥8♣ on a A♣9♥8♥A♦3♣ board, value betting big on the end and receiving a call to take nearly a 2:1 lead of his own.
The Spanish superstar battled back to regain the advantage, only to cede control of the match again when his A♣6♥ lost a preflop clash against A♦10♣. Yau’s superior ace held to give him a more than 5:1 chip lead.
Mateos hung around, but eventually was all-in with 10♦9♣ trailing Q♥Q♣. The board came down A♠J♦2♠10♠8♠ and Yau’s pocket pair earned him the pot and the title. Mateos settled for $175,150 as the second-place finisher.
The Madrid native now sits just shy of $20 million in WSOP earnings, which is good for fifth all-time. Daniel Negreanu is the only player with over $25 million in bracelet-event cashes.
