Arthur Thiriart won his first WSOP bracelet on GGPoker after taking down Event #6: $1,500 Monster Stack No-Limit Hold'em.

Arthur Thiriart has turned his 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Online campaign into a career-best result, winning Event #6: $1,500 Monster Stack No-Limit Hold'em on GGPoker for $256,542 and his first WSOP bracelet.

Playing under the screen name "Higher Self," Thiriart topped a field of 1,482 entries to claim the title. The event generated a $2,111,850 prize pool, with 210 players reaching the money. The victory also represents a significant increase on Thiriart's previous biggest tournament score.

Before his GGPoker victory, Thiriart's largest tournament cash was $51,713. He earned that result at the 2026 WSOP in Las Vegas after finishing 14th in the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed Championship.

His victory in Event #6 therefore delivered a new career-best tournament score of $256,542, alongside his first WSOP bracelet.

The result came during a 2026 WSOP campaign that had already produced a deep finish in one of the series' high buy-in championship events. This time, Thiriart went all the way on GGPoker.

Event #6 featured a $1,500 buy-in and attracted 1,482 entries. The resulting prize pool reached

$2,111,850, with 210 players securing a payout. Thiriart ultimately claimed the largest share of that prize pool, earning $256,542 for first place.

In addition to the money and his first bracelet, the victory awarded Thiriart a $30,000 Super Pass to the 2026 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event. The result put "Higher Self" at the top of the final standings after a nine-player final table.

Thiriart's victory came after a final table that included players from Hong Kong, Russia, Austria, Finland, Brazil and Mexico, alongside the eventual champion from Andorra.
