Jans Arends Secures Second WSOP Bracelet with $100k Victory


Jans Arends has won his second WSOP bracelet, this time in a $100k event, securing a prize of $2,576,729. Known online as “Graftekkel,” Arends was one of 93 entries in event #29, which had a prizepool of $8,997,590 with a minimum cash of $171,034. Notable players in the field included Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu.

The bubble burst when Chidwick’s big slick lost to Ren Lin’s pocket 10s. Jonathan Jaffe went all-in against Jans Arends with A♦ Q♦ vs. A♠ K♦. The flop was 10♦ 5♦ 6♣, the turn A♥, and the river J♣, securing Arends' victory. David Peters, Kristen Foxen, and Punnat Punsri missed out on the final table, which included Arends and Katz, along with Adrian Mateos, Chance Kornuth, Jeremy Ausmus, and Biao Ding.

China’s Biao Ding fell first, followed by Jeremy Ausmus and Chance Kornuth. Arends won a monster pot against Adrian Mateos with a full house against a straight. Katz shove all-in with big slick got the PokerGO founder to shove and it was all over. Arends mentioned that live poker has more pressure than online tournaments, stating, “Live is more pressure, there's people around, there's cameras, live-streamed final table. There's added pressure.”

I'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.
