Joe Serock has been a fixture in the poker world for nearly 20 years, with over 200 tournament cashes since 2007, where he's amassed more than $4.5 million in career earnings.

Serock's early career was marked by two significant runner-up finishes that could have seen him win a WSOP bracelet. In 2009, he finished second to Brock Parker in a $2,500 No-Limit Hold’em Six-Handed event, earning $341,783, which remains his largest cash to date. The following year, he came close again, finishing runner-up to Jeffrey Lisandro in a ￡5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event at the World Series of Poker Europe.

2012 was a banner year for Serock, where his performances on the World Poker Tour (WPT) earned him the prestigious title of WPT Player of the Year. This accolade was bolstered by two notable third-place finishes: one at the Bay 101 Shooting Stars for $320,400 and another at the World Poker Tour Seminole Hard Rock Showdown for $306,240 . These achievements solidified Serock's reputation as a formidable competitor on the live tournament circuit.

Serock's first major tournament win came in 2012, marking a significant milestone in his career.

However, it wasn't until 2023 that he finally captured his elusive WSOP bracelet, winning the 2023 WSOP Online Event #7: $500 Pot-Limit Omaha.

Serock reached the final table of the 2024 WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas with 83,600,000 chips, placing him fourth at the restart. Serock stood to win an additional $1 million if he triumphed in the Main Event because he qualified online at GGPoker.

Unfortunately, Serock's Main Event run ended on the 54th hand of the final table. Jordan Griff min-raised to 4,000,000, Niklas Astedt called in the small blind, and Serock squeezed all-in for 39,700,000 from the big blind. Griff folded, but Astedt snap-called. Serock showed ace-jack and was against Astedt's pocket queens. Serock paired his jack on the turn, but it was not enough to prevent him busting in eighth place for $1,250,000.
