After a roller coaster of a ride at the final table, Dennis Weiss navigated his way through an exciting final day in Event #30: $1,500 Limit Hold’em 7-Handed to take home $133,704 and claim his third World Series of Poker bracelet.
The result takes his recorded lifetime earnings, as per The Hendon Mob, to over $3,600,000.
“This is a fun one,” commented Weiss regarding how this victory compared to his other bracelet wins.
“Before this year, I mostly played PLO. I tested the waters last year in some of the $1,500 mixed games. I studied a little bit, and it’s fun to play them. So, this one feels different, it feels like in a fun way.”
Event #30 attracted a field of 510 runners, generating a total prize pool of $677,025.
Just eight players returned to battle it out in Day 3 for the title, with Weiss entering heads-up play against WSOP serial casher Omar Mehmood with a near 3:1 chip lead, before closing out victory under the lights of The Paris & Horseshoe Las Vegas.

Winner's Background
Weiss is a relative newcomer on the international poker scene but has been crushing the circuits over the last two years.
He claimed his first WSOP bracelet in 2024 at WSOP Europe, taking down the $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha event, and then added to this last year in Las Vegas by claiming the $25,000 Pot Limit Omaha High Roller 8-Handed event for his largest, as per The Hendon Mob, recorded career cash to date for over $2,000,000.
This is Weiss’ fourth-highest cash to date, as he also took down the $30,000 Pot Limit Omaha 6-Max event at EPT Monte Carlo for over $400,000 just prior to the start of this year’s WSOP.
Winner’s Reaction
When asked what the turning point for him was in the event, Weiss responded, “I was very short in chips at the end of day two at one point and then got lucky a couple of times.”
“Also, today they just dealt me aces in the big blind when I was on like two big bets, which is like the most lucky break ever.”
When asked if anything was left on his poker bucket list, Weiss responded, “Just keep enjoying the game.”
Day Three Final Table Play
Just eight players returned for Day 3 after a Day 2 starting field of 105 was whittled down in just ten levels of play.
Patrick Leonard and Ronnie Bardah came into the final table as the most notable players, but Vo Ngo started the day as chip leader.
After the first elimination of Joseph Salorio, it took nearly four more hours of play for the final table to be reduced to six players, with Ngo getting sent to the rail in seventh.
Chips were flying backwards and forwards all over the place, and Bardah was the beneficiary of the majority of these, building himself a nice chip lead.
Leonard could never really get things going and was sent to the rail in sixth place.
After Leonard’s departure, things started to heat up, and Thomas Miressi, who had been nursing a short stack for most of the day, was next to be sent packing in fifth spot, followed swiftly by Jorge Ufano in fourth.
Three-handed play saw more chips flying around, with Bardah and Mehmood switching it up for the chip lead numerous times.
Bardah then started to bleed chips to both players, and Weiss got a massive boost to his stack when getting paid on three streets by Bardah with a flush.
This hand catapulted Weiss into the lead, and from here he started to push on.
Bardah could never get it going again and was eventually whittled down to under five big bets by his opponents. He succumbed to the pressure, and was sent to the rail as our bronze place finisher when he got it all in ahead with pocket nines against Weiss’ pocket sevens. Weiss had the poker Gods on his side, and he ended up making quads to send Bardah home in third.
Weiss went into the heads-up match with a near 3:1 chip lead over Mehmood, and although Mehmood put up a valiant battle and reduced the gap, it looked like it was always going to be Weiss’ day.
Heads-up play lasted nearly three levels, and when the players returned from a short break, Weiss took control again and extended his lead. Mermood was eventually taken down to under two big bets when he had to release his cards in two big pots.
In the final hand of heads-up play, Weiss’ nine-eight out-flopped Mehmood’s ace-seven and spiked two pair to send his valiant opponent to the rail in second place.
Weiss claimed his third WSOP bracelet along with the $133,704 first-place prize money.
