The 2021 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Event #6: $25,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em attracted 139 entries, which generated a $3,283,875 prize pool. After three days of play, it was 33-year-old poker pro Tyler Cornell claiming victory for $833,289 and his first gold bracelet.

"It feels amazing," Cornell said after the victory. "I��ve been trying to do this for a long time and finally got a win."

Cornell, who hails from the San Diego area and plays at Ocean��s 11, began his poker career online before switching to live cash games. When the pandemic hit, he took his game back to the virtual felt, which was evidenced by a laundry list of results in online bracelet events including last year��s GGPoker.com WSOP Event #77: $5,000 Main Event where he finished in eighth place for $328,305.

Cornell prevailed over a stacked final table, which proved to be a swingy affair with multiple people holding the chip lead.

"Really not until the last hour," Cornell said when asked when he could taste victory. "I feel like I only got control of the table in the last hour."

Despite the win in the third tournament he played in the 2021 WSOP, Cornell doesn��t intend to put in a full schedule. Instead, he��ll return home and make a trip or two back to Vegas to play maybe four or five more events.

Day 3 Action

On Monday, the final five players returned to the main stage at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino for the first PokerGO live-streamed event of the 2021 WSOP. It didn��t take long for Mustapha Kanit to become the first final table casualty after jamming a queen-high flop with ace-king only to see Jonathan Jaffe tabled top pair, which held.

Despite winning that hand, Jaffe was the next to go. He lost most of his chips after a failed triple-barrel bluff and then the rest with king-five suited against the suited Big Slick of Michael Liang.

Three-time bracelet winner Adrian Mateos bowed out in third place after calling off his short stack preflop with ace-nine only to see Cornell table pocket nines. The pair held firm and that set up a heads-up match with Cornell holding a 9:1 chip lead over Liang.

Liang managed to hold on for a bit but eventually succumbed in second place for $515,014.

Congratulations to Tyler Cornell, winner of the 2021 WSOP Event #6: $25,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em!
