Professional poker player Seth Davies has finally done it: he won his first gold bracelet at the World Series of Poker. He navigated what will likely go down as the most difficult final table at the 2025 World Series of Poker at the Paris and Horseshoe, and to win it all he beat one of the best poker players in the world heads-up, William ‘Alex’ Foxen.
Winning gold bracelets is a rare feat in poker but Seth Davies had put in the work over the years with a whopping 52 cashes in WSOP tournaments and 11 final tables made prior to winning the $250K High Roller, the biggest buy-in tournament at the 2025 World Series of Poker.
Prior to the biggest win of his career, Seth Davies was already a well established professional. He had won a ‘gold ring’ in the 2022 WSOP Circuit Super Series Event #11 and he had already cashed two times at the 2025 World Series of Poker prior to winning it all.
Seth Davies Wins First Gold Bracelet, Takes Down $250K Super High Roller
I suppose it isn’t entirely fair to say ‘this is THE ONE TOURNAMENT ever pro wants to win’ but there’s also some truth to that. The reality is, the vast majority of professional poker players don’t want to enter a $250K buy-in tournament to play against all of the best pros in the industry. They’d rather enter the $1K-$5K events full of weekend warriors in Las Vegas where making the money is easier and the return on their investment is better. But even the pros that sit out would LOVE to have the bracelet Seth Davies just won.
The official name of the tournament was Event #46: $250,000 Super High Roller. It featured the biggest buy-in of any tournament at the 2025 World Series of Poker. Seth Davies spoke about his first bracelet win with WSOP afterward:

63 players entered the Super High Roller tournament this year for a total prize pool of $15,584,625 and with the small field of the game’s best players, only the top 10 places paid out which is nuts. Can you imagine spending $250K to buy into a poker tournament with 63 people and walking away empty handed like the 53 players who didn’t make the money?

Martin Kabrhel going out in 7th place immediately made the final table more pleasant for everyone there. Over the past few years, he has emerged as the biggest ‘pest’ in all of professional poker. And he was in PEAK FORM throughout the $250K Super High Roller up until this moment where it felt like his resolve was finally broken.
Martin has a really, really good hand here. But he slowly becomes convinced he’s beat. Would you lay this down?

Kabrhel then got bounced from the final table by getting all of his chips in the middle pre-flop with AcKh. He is obviously a thousand times better poker player than I am but I can’t imagine shoving my tournament life into the middle in this spot with AK off without seeing a flop. It just feels like a wasteful use of the past few days.
"You're in a hole right now, Martin."

Once the final table got down to Alex Foxen and Seth Davies, the action moved fast. On the very first hand, Seth Davies went all-in with AJ and Foxen called with a better hand, AQ. But Davies hit a Jack on the flop, doubled up, and had a commanding chip lead at that point and the writing was on the wall.
Foxen went all in on the next hand with K-5 and managed to hit two pair but Seth Davies had AA and would improve his hand after the flop and take down the $250K Super High Roller, win $4,752,551, and his first-ever gold bracelet along with the bragging rights that come with winning the Super High Roller. Well done!
