WSOP BRACELET WINNERS FROM THE 2000s

The World Series of Poker - Past Winners 2000-2005

World Series of Poker (WSOP)

This sections lists all World Series of Poker bracelet winners from 2000 onward. In retrospect, this decade will probably be characterized by the explosion of Texas Hold'em and online poker - both of which contributed to enormous fields and record-setting prize pools. While you'll often see familiar names come out on top in the side events at the WSOP, the Main Event has seen a rise to power from the unknown poker player and the internet newcomers. Online poker's popularity is due in no small part to 2003 Champion Chris Moneymaker, which turned a $39 satellite in $2.5 million.
