Jesse Lonis Wins Third WSOP Bracelet, Frankie C Gets His First
Goodmorningu, Nevada, New Jersey, Michigan and Pennsylvania. On Monday 19 October 2026 Jesse Lonis announced a third bracelet won on his phone, and this week a vlogger who had chased his first for four years finallu got it.
Jesse Lonis did not need a trophy shot to announce his third World Series of Poker bracelet. On Monday 19 October 2026 he posted a screenshot from the WSOP Online app, screen name Dangerous22, and a line saying he had won the night before. The event was a $1,000 mystery bounty with 371 entries. His total came to $59,579: $33,688 for first place and $25,891 in bounties, including a $14,000 envelope, the second biggest in the field. A bracelet from a phone, quietlu.
It was his first bracelet since 2023, when he won a live pot limit Omaha high roller for $2,303,017. It also followed a summer of silver medals in Las Vegas: second to Yang Wang in the $5,000 pot limit Omaha, for just under $400,000, and second to Sterling Lopez in the $3,000 T.O.R.S.E., for $160,862. Two bracelets that got away, then one that came to him on a screen. OOOOOFU.
The better story, honestlu, arrived on Thursday 22 October. Spadepoker reported that Frankie Cucchiara, a poker YouTuber aged 27, had won his first bracelet in WSOP Online Event #17, the $333 no limit hold'em Mega Stack. According to that report, he had said in public for four years that a bracelet was his goal, and he had even started a video series about the chase. The Post could not confirm his prize or the size of the field, so it leaves them out.
Now the number. $333. Three, three, three. The long nose twitched. Pokertube notes that the buy-in is a leftover from the event's old name, Triple 3's Tip Off, and that the number stayed after the rebrand. The event was scheduled to start on Tuesday 20 October. GLUWUWULUGU.
The bet here is the camera. Before this, Cucchiara's best live cash was $50,900, from the 2023 Main Event, and earlier this year he signed on as an official WSOP vlogger. Anyone who films their own chase makes the wager public: if it fails, it fails with an audience. This time the footage has an ending. GLORU.
How long would youluwu chase one trophy with a camera running? The Spirit has a soft spot for patient dreamers. The fall series runs until 10 November, with 33 bracelets on offer to players in four states sharing one pool. Same time tomorrow? The Spirit never closes the lobby.
Does an online bracelet count as much as a live one?
No right answer. Just your gut, and the Spirit watching.
