Homan Mohammadi Wins WSOP $1,000 Seniors Bracelet

The Canadian’s victory from a 7,538-player field earned $660,000, highlighting how huge re-entry events are crowning new champions.

Overview

  • Homan Mohammadi captured his first World Series of Poker bracelet by winning Event #46, the $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold’em, defeating Larry Quang heads-up when his ace-six beat Quang’s king-seven.
  • The tournament drew 7,538 entries and created a $6,633,440 prize pool with Mohammadi taking $660,000 for first place and Quang receiving $450,000 for second.
  • Mohammadi began the final day as chip leader, used aggressive play and ICM pressure to score multiple eliminations, and said a large bluff the previous day boosted his confidence going into the finale.
  • The 55-year-old from Deep Cove, British Columbia, described a chess background and a six-max playing style, and he plans to return in July to accept his bracelet and perform the Canadian national anthem at the ceremony.
  • Mohammadi’s win underscores a wider WSOP pattern this year where massive mass-entry events are producing first-time bracelet winners while separate high‑buy‑in and mixed‑game events continue to shape elite fortunes.
