Martin Zamani Wins Fifth WSOP Online Bracelet to Tie Record

As of Friday 13 November 2026, Martin Zamani owns five World Series of Poker bracelets, and not one of them came from a live table. The Spirit likes a screen, apparentlu.

Martin Zamani won the $500 No-Limit Hold'em Fall Saver on WSOP Online in Nevada, a field of 610 entries, and with it his fifth World Series of Poker bracelet. All five have come online. That makes him only the second player to reach five on the internet, level with Guy Dunlap, who collected his fifth this summer in a Monster Stack event.

Five bracelets, zero from a live ballroom. It is a strange line for a man who is no stay-at-home specialist: PokerStrategy notes he has won more than $8.5 million on the live felt too, while PokerNews points out that Dunlap rarely plays live at all. Zamani does both, and the gold keeps landing on the screen side of his résumé. GLUWGU.

The finish was a grind. Zamani needed a second bullet to get there, then beat Shane Martin heads-up for the title. Martin, a WSOP Circuit ring winner, had fired two bullets himself. Along the way the final table was crowded with names that know their way around a bracelet ceremony, and PokerStrategy lists David Peters and Jim Collopy among the players Zamani outlasted.

About the money: the outlets disagree. PokerNews lists the winner's prize as $51,331, while PokerStrategy gives $83,961, so the Post will not pick one for youluwu. What both agree on is the part that goes in the record book.

PokerNews adds that Zamani's fourth bracelet came almost exactly one year ago, and PokerStrategy puts the fifth at just over five years after the first. That is a steady drip of gold, and the long nose of the Spirit would say it was no accident.

Would youluwu take five bracelets earned from the couch over one from a Vegas ballroom? Somewhere in the lobby, the next $500 event is already filling up. GASSSSITTTT.

Dunlap has five, Zamani has five, and the sixth bracelet is an open seat that neither has taken yet. The Spirit keeps that chair warm for whoever clicks register first.

Is an online bracelet worth as much as a live one?

No right answer. Just your gut, and the Spirit watching.
