Biography

Gary Bolden is an American poker player from Missouri best known for winning Event #91: $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas for $206,321 and his first gold bracelet.

Bolden is a prolific player, with more than 370 recorded live poker tournament cashes since April 2009. Most of Bolden's in-the-money finishes are from smaller stakes tournaments, although he occasionally mixes it up with some four-figure events. At least 38 of Bolden's cashes are worth $10,000 or more, including a dozen outright victories.

The largest of those victories came at the 2024 WSOP when he won the $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. event, defeating John Racener heads-up to capture a gold bracelet and $206,321 in prize money.
