Scott Ball Wins First WSOP Bracelet and $562,660 in Thrilling Tournament


Scott Ball, a 35-year-old poker streamer, won his first WSOP bracelet and $562,660. The event was No-Limit Hold'em Six Max with a $5,000 buy-in, attracting 578 players and creating a prize pool of $2,666,020.

Galen Hall from San Francisco finished as the runner-up, earning $347,750. Hall pushed all-in with K♦-10♦ against Ball's A♦-2♦ on a J♦-7♥-6♦ board. The final hand ended with a cooler, where the turn card 4♦ gave both players a flush, but Hall's hopes for victory were dashed.

Eric Tsai from Taiwan finished fourth, earning $161,750. The tournament saw 90 players receive prizes, with the minimum payout being $8,040.

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.
