EXPAND GRAPHIC
There aren't many single-day bracelet events on the 2026 World Series of Poker schedule. In fact, there's only four across the entire summer series.
In the early morning hours of Wednesday, June 10, Mike Holtz laid claim to the first of the Super Turbo bracelets – defeating Malaysia's Mei Seow during heads-up play.
With the win, Holtz adds a second bracelet to his budding jewelry collection.
Seow's runner-up finish came with a career-best score and stands as only her fourth live tournament cash. Prior to the event, Seow's career earnings stood at just $5,410.
PokerOrg's Matt Hansen spoke with Holtz in the wake of victory – and caught an earful about his thoughts on winning a second bracelet while Maurice Hawkins was denied a first.
'Good defeated evil'
Holtz didn't exactly pull his punches when asked how it felt to win while Hawkins failed to do so.
"Karma is real, there is a God. And he doesn't like Maurice Hawkins I don't think," Holtz began. "But you know who he does like? Mike Holtz. And Mike Holtz has a bracelet. Guess how many Maurice Hawkins has? Zero. I'm pretty stoked. Good defeated evil today and all's right in the world."
Holtz went on to rail against those who demean the winners of WSOP Online bracelet events and consider the accomplishment less difficult compared to the live arena. As a WSOP Online bracelet winner himself, the topic hits close to home.
"For everyone saying that online bracelets are nonsense, the online bracelet that I won was way harder than this," he argued. "Way harder. It wasn't close."
"Anyone sh**ting on online bracelets is out of their mind. It's so much harder. Come grind in the streets with your boy and see who comes out on top."
Now that he's got one of each bracelet, we imagine any questions about his talents on the felt – virtual or live – should cease.
