Seth Davies Wins First WSOP Bracelet and $4.75M in $250K Super High Roller
Seth Davies has officially shaken off the “best without a bracelet” title by capturing his first World Series of Poker (WSOP) gold in Event #46: $250,000 Super High Roller. The win earned him a personal best of $4,752,551 and marked a major milestone in his elite poker career.
The high-stakes event brought in 63 of the world’s top players, generating a prize pool of $15,584,625. It took three intense days at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas to crown a winner. In the end, Davies triumphed over Alex Foxen in a lightning-fast heads-up match to seal the victory.
Blink-And-You-Miss-It Heads-Up Showdown
After just two hands of heads-up play, Davies secured the title. On the first hand, a lucky jack turned the tide. On the second, Foxen hit two pair, but the river counterfeited his hand against Davies’ pocket aces.
It was a sudden end to what had been a grueling tournament. Foxen collected $3,060,314 for second place, but all eyes were on Davies and his long-awaited moment.

A Career Nearly 20 Years in the Making
Davies has been a feared name in high-roller circles for years. After watching poker boom in the early 2000s, he dreamed of someday winning a WSOP bracelet. That dream finally came true in one of the most competitive fields of the summer.
Before Day 1, his close friend Jason Koon gave him a designer “shark jacket” from Burberry—a symbolic good luck charm. Though Davies couldn’t wear it under the hot lights of the final table, the energy stuck with him through the tournament. After recently winning his first Triton title, Davies now has both WSOP and international victories under his belt.
Drama and Coolers on the Final Day
The final table was full of drama both on and off the felt. Martin Kabrhel sparked early controversy by demanding additional time extensions before play began. After a short exchange with WSOP officials, the request was denied.
Kabrhel stayed in the mix for a while, surviving a cooler against Bryn Kenney with a miracle runout, only to be eliminated by Chris Brewer moments later. The chaos continued with big hands clashing in rapid succession—kings vs aces, top pairs running into full houses, and ace-highs crashing into monsters.
Thomas Boivin was next to fall, making it back-to-back third-place finishes in high rollers. His elimination set the stage for the briefest of heads-up battles.
What’s Next for Seth Davies?
With over $4.7 million added to his live earnings and the bracelet pressure finally lifted, Seth Davies is now cemented among the elite. Whether this sparks a series of deep runs or another bracelet win, time will tell—but it’s safe to say the poker world is paying close attention.
From TV dreams in 2003 to WSOP champion in 2025, Davies has completed a full-circle journey—and did it in true high-roller style.
