Chad Norton, an American poker player, has won his first WSOP gold bracelet at the Rio Casino. The victory came in the WSOP 2021 Event #46: No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack tournament, which had a buy-in of $800 and attracted 2,053 entries, creating a prize pool of $1,445,310.
Norton's win was particularly significant as it marked the largest prize of his career, amounting to $214,830. The second place went to another American, Steve Lemma, who earned $132,800. The final table included a diverse group of players from the USA, Argentina, Bulgaria, and Canada.
The tournament featured an exciting final hand where Steve Lemma went all-in with Q♣-9♠ on the big blind, and Chad Norton called with A♠-8♦. The board showed A♥-J♣-3♦-5♣-3♥, securing Norton's victory. A total of 308 players received payouts, with the minimum prize being $1,280.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
