Follows Circuit Ring Victory Earlier This Year

Though it's Konnikova's first bracelet, it isn't her first piece of WSOP hardware. In January, she won the WSOP.com $525 buy-in Main Event for $57,531 by topping a field of 7,000 players in her first-ever Circuit event.

With the bracelet victory, she follows in the footsteps of her poker mentor, Erik Seidel. The Poker Hall of Famer coached Konnikova when she first got into poker and won a his tenth bracelet in December 2023 at WSOP Paradise, becoming just the fifth player to win ten or more.

Hear From Konnikova on Life Outside Poker

Though some joke about a "PokerNewscurse" that dooms a player once they are interviewed, Konnikova's bracelet victory occurred just weeks after her interview on the Life Outside Poker podcast, where she discussed her writing career, being mentored by Seidel and research on cheating in poker and other games for an upcoming book.
