Day 21 of the 2026 WSOP featured three bracelet wins, including Adrian Mateos breaking records with his sixth victory. Meanwhile, Calvin Anderson advanced in the Razz Championship, Yuefan Wang led the COLOSSUS final nine, and Daniel Aharoni topped the Big O.
The action continued at the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) during Day 21 of the series on June 15. Hosted at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, the day featured nine bracelet-awarding events, resulting in three bracelets being awarded and multiple fields whittling down toward their final conclusions.
The day kicked off with a historic milestone in Event #41: $250,000 Super High Roller No-Limit Hold'em. Adrian Mateos emerged victorious, securing the $4,334,411 top prize along with his sixth career WSOP bracelet.
Already known as the youngest player ever to win three bracelets, the 31-year-old Spaniard set a new record as the youngest player to capture six bracelets.
In Event #39: $5,000 Seniors High Roller No-Limit Hold'em, Juan Rodriguez claimed his first career bracelet and a career-best payout of $673,011. Rodriguez shared that while he previously played poker for fun and trophy collecting, his current focus is maximizing his winnings for his son.
The final bracelet of the evening went to Matthew Moss in Event #43: $800 8-Handed Deepstack No-Limit Hold'em. Moss outlasted a massive field of 3,903 entrants to secure his first piece of WSOP hardware and a first-place prize of $318,556.
Event #48: $10,000 Razz Championship commenced with 118 starters. After 10 levels of play, the field was reduced to 54 players.
Calvin Anderson is among the remaining contenders, looking to win the $10,000 Razz Championship for the second time in his career. The field size is expected to grow as late registration stays open into Day 2.
In Event #34: $500 COLOSSUS No-Limit Hold'em, the field has been trimmed to the final nine players. The remaining line-up is competing for a $550,000 top prize.
Yuefan Wang holds the chip lead with 175,000,000 chips entering the nine-handed final table. Wang has secured a career-best score regardless of his final position and is three eliminations away from locking up his first six-figure payout.
Meanwhile, Event #42: $10,000 Big O Championship wrapped up Day 3 with only four players remaining. Daniel Aharoni holds a commanding lead heading into the final day.
Each of the remaining four players is guaranteed at least $276,471, though the ultimate goal remains the $861,287 top prize amid significant six-figure pay jumps.
Finally, Event #45: $2,500 Mixed Omaha Hi-Lo/Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better completed Day 2 with 24 players left in contention.
Andrew Yeh leads the field with 1,720,000 chips. Eddie Blumenthal sits in second with 1,410,000 chips, and Tyler Phillips occupies third with 1,310,000 chips.
Other notable players returning for the final day include Nikolai Fal (1,295,000), Justin Liberto (885,000), Cyndy Violette (740,000), and Yueqi Zhu (655,000), who are all aiming to expand their current bracelet collections.
