MTT Grandmaster Stephen Chidwick wins $52,000 Pot Limit Omaha – Championship event for $1,357,080 and his second WSOP bracelet. Chidwick had to beat the pool of 122 entries, which generated a prize pool of $6,100,000.
Stephen won his first WSOP in 2019 when he won $25,000 Pot Limit Omaha—High Roller 8-Handed for $1,618,417. It is interesting that Chidwick, who is mainly a no-limit holdem player, has only won WSOP bracelets in PLO.
“It’s kind of funny that both of my bracelets are in PLO, and both of my Triton titles are in Short Deck. I don’t have a major no-limit title,” said Chidwick.
“Winning anytime it feels great. Bracelets are something that used to be a huge goal of mine in the earlier part of my career. As time has passed, my focus has shifted a bit more to some other tours and some of the higher stakes tournaments.” added Chidiwck.
This win also moved Chidwick closer to second place in the all-time money list with $63,288,135 in earnings, just a bit more than one million behind Justin Bonomo.

The Final Table
Entering the final table, Ben Tollerene managed to carry his chip lead from the start of the day and was the favorite to win the tournament. Tollerene eliminated Pascal Lefrancois for the first elimination of the final table and left Benny Glaser with just a few chips, who ended up finishing in sixth place shortly after. Lefrancois got $226,160 for his seventh-place finish, and Glaser earned $304,870.
Chidwick managed to double up through Tollerene to start his fall. Wang also managed to win a significant pot against Tollerene. Dylan Weisman was next to leave in fifth place, winning $410,970, followed by Nick Schulman in fourth place, who got eliminated by Chidwick when he 3-bet shoved against Chidwick’s open with K♠K♥Q♠10♣ and Chidwick called it off with A♠Q♣Q♦6♥. The board ran 9♣7♥7♣A♣4♦, with the turn being the end for Schulman, who won $553,990.
Three-way action started with Tollerene being a short stack and didn’t last long as Wang knocked him out of the game after Tollerene 3-bet shoved with Q♦Q♣9♣5♠ and Wang called with A♣J♦10♣8♦. The board was 5♥A♥4♣2♠4♥, which was the start of the heads-up as Wang took over 2:1 chip lead over Chidwick.
The Heads-Up
The action went back and forth as Chadwick slowly equalized the chip gap before he made a big river call and took over the chip lead by a significant margin. Wang was not giving up and secured a double up and brought stacks closer. In the last hand, Wang ran into Chidwick’s aces and was knocked out in second place for $1,006,680. All money went in preflop when Wang 4-bet shoved with A♥Q♥4♠3♠, and Chidwick called with A♠A♦7♣2♠. The board ran K♣8♦10♣6♠7♥, which was the story’s end.
