On Sunday, October 24, the latest 2021 World Series of Poker online bracelet tournament — Event #5: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Championship — took place on WSOP.com for players in Nevada and New Jersey. When all was said and done, Kazuki "hyahhoo3" Ikeuchi shipped topped an 854-entry field to claim his first bracelet and a $152,797 top prize.
When registration closed four levels into the tournament, 555 players were registered, plus another 299 rebuys, creating a prize pool of $768,000.
Ikeuchi, who hails from Tokyo, Japan, won his first bracelet and picked up his 42nd career WSOP cash, 22 of which were earned online. The Japanese pro, who played in the online bracelet event from Nevada, has three cashes this fall at the live WSOP in Las Vegas. His best run in a live event this month was a 17th-place finish for $7,301 in Event #26: $1,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em.
On Sunday, he stood at the top of the mountain, defeating some of the best players in the game, including pros such as Daniel "DNegs" Negreanu (96th place for $1,614) and David "dwpoker" Williams (70th place for $1,998).

Wilber Can't Hold Chip Lead
With six players remaining, it appeared "dwilbs" was destined to win the bracelet with a 2:1 chip advantage over the nearest competitor. But the tides turned down the stretch as Ikeuchi began to take over the game, and eventually the chip lead.

on the button, but ran into the of Ikeuchi. The worst preflop hand didn't suck out, and "dwilbs" had to settle for second place and $94,460.
