Three-Time WSOP Bracelet Winner Battling It Out

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Matt Matros has more than $2.5 million in lifetime tournament earnings to his name and three World Series of Poker gold bracelet wins.

While a trio of bracelets is impressive in and of itself, what made Matros' victories even more special was the fact that he captured them in three consecutive years from 2010-12.

His first win came at the 2010 WSOP when he won Event #12: $1,500 Limit Hold’em for $189,870, and then followed it up by winning the 2011 WSOP Event #52: $2,500 Mixed Limit/NLH Hold’em for $303,501. Finally, his last bracelet came when he took down the 2012 WSOP Event #16: $1,500 NLH 6-Handed for $454,835.

Despite all those big wins, none of them are his biggest. That actually came in 2004 when he finished fourth in the $25,000 WPT Championship for $706,903

Matros, who received a Bachelor of Science from Yale and a Master's degree from Sarah Lawrence College, is also the author of The Making of a Poker Player.

He's in action here at Parx and looking to add a Big Stax title to his long list of accomplishments.
