Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n With the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) live festival<\/strong> now done and dusted, it\u2019s time to take a look at the key highlights from the US poker<\/a> series and the records it created, including the biggest Main Event field in the festival\u2019s long and rich history. <\/p>\n The 2023 WSOP was also marked with surprises, such as Ian Matakis<\/strong> winning the Player of the Year race.<\/p>\n Matakis is no stranger to the WSOP as he has been participating in the series since 2019, based on his Hendon Mob record. He was already an accomplished player before entering this year\u2019s festival, however, he wasn\u2019t considered a frontrunner in the race, with the competition usually overshadowed by consistent POY chasers, including Shaun Deeb and Daniel Negreanu. <\/p>\n But Matakis topped them all in the latest edition of the WSOP, accumulating 5,203 points throughout the festival to claim the 2023 WSOP POY crown. All in all, he recorded 22 cashes, including a bracelet win online on WSOP.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Deeb finished second with 4,276 points, followed by Chris Brewer (3rd), Josh Arieh (4th), and Jesse Lonis (5th). Completing the top 10 were Michael Rodrigues (6th), Chad Eveslage (7th), Ben Yu (8th), Phil Hellmuth (9th), and Yuval Bronshtein (10th).<\/p>\n After a successful 2023 WSOP campaign, Mike Holtz now holds the record for the most bracelet event cashes in a single series with 25<\/strong>, 13 of which he won at the live festival in Las Vegas. <\/p>\n That record was previously held by Negreanu and Chris Ferguson with 23 cashes apiece. <\/p>\n Holtz ended up in 14th place in the 2023 WSOP POY race but he is poised to win the WSOP.com POY title. <\/p>\n Other highlights in the 2023 WSOP include Phil Hellmuth extending his bracelet record<\/a>. The \u201cPoker Brat<\/em>\u201d has proven he still got it after winning his 17th bracelet in Event #72: $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty<\/em> which also came with a top prize of $803,818.<\/p>\n\n
