She Wong Wins the Last Bracelet of the 2026 WSOP in Event #100 Super Turbo

Key Takeaway

The 2026 World Series of Poker is officially over, and the very last gold bracelet of the summer went to She Wong, who won Event #100 — the $1,000 Super Turbo No-Limit Hold’em — for his first career bracelet and $216,286. He beat Ryuta Nakai heads-up out of a 1,699-entry field. Fittingly, the 100th and final event of a 100-bracelet summer was a fast, chaotic super turbo.

So that’s a wrap. After roughly seven weeks, 100 bracelet events, and a quarter-million entries, the 2026 World Series of Poker closed its books — and the honor of winning the final gold of the summer belongs to She Wong. He took down Event #100, the $1,000 Super Turbo No-Limit Hold’em, topping a field of 1,699 entries for $216,286 and the first bracelet of his career. There’s something poetic about the 100th event of the series being a super turbo — the whole summer sprinting to the finish line in the fastest format on the schedule.

I saw the result on PokerNews, and CardPlayer noted Wong wasn’t even the only first-time winner on the final day — Nishant Sharma also broke through for his first bracelet as the series wound down (CardPlayer). Two players who’ll remember July 16, 2026 for the rest of their lives.

What Exactly Did She Wong Win?

Here’s the full breakdown. Event #100 was a $1,000 buy-in super turbo — a format built for speed, with a big starting stack that gets swallowed by fast-rising blinds. It drew 1,699 entries and built a prize pool of $1,495,120. Heads-up, Wong got the better of Japan’s Ryuta Nakai, who banked $144,101 for second, while Dzmitry Urbanovich completed the podium in third for $104,032.

A $1,000 buy-in producing a $216K top prize is exactly why these low-cost, big-field events are so popular on the closing weekend — cheap to enter, huge upside, and the structure is over fast enough that you can still make your flight home.

Why a Super Turbo Is a Different Beast

Don’t let the “$1,000 event” label fool you into thinking this was easy money. A super turbo is arguably the highest-variance format in tournament poker, and winning one out of 1,699 runners is a genuine grind through a minefield. In a normal event you have deep stacks and time to outplay people. In a super turbo you get neither — the blinds come up so fast that within a couple of levels most of the table is playing a shove-or-fold game, and a huge chunk of your equity is decided by whether your all-ins hold.

That’s what makes a win like this deceptively skillful. When you’re that short relative to the blinds, the entire game narrows down to push/fold accuracy — knowing exactly which hands to jam and which to call off with, from every stack depth and position. It’s the closest poker gets to a solved math problem, and the players who’ve drilled those ranges have a real, repeatable edge even though it looks like a coinflip carnival from the rail. If you’ve never studied short-stack jamming, our Sit & Go strategy guide walks through the push/fold logic that dominates fast structures, and running spots through an ICM calculator will change how you think about every all-in near the money.

My Take: The Last Bracelet Counts Just as Much

Here’s what I actually love about Event #100. It’s the last thing on the schedule, the “get it in and get home” event, the one the big names have mostly skipped because they’re already on a plane. And yet the bracelet is identical to the one you win in the Main Event or a $50K championship. Same gold, same lifetime entry in the record books, same “WSOP champion” you get to say forever.

I’ve played the dregs of a festival before — that last turbo when you’re running on four hours of sleep and a gas-station coffee — and there’s a specific kind of satisfaction in binking one when everyone else has checked out. For She Wong, a first bracelet is a first bracelet, full stop. Nobody’s ever going to ask what the structure was. I think that’s the beautiful thing about this game: the trophy doesn’t come with an asterisk for how fast the blinds went up.

And honestly, given how brutal super turbo variance is, I’d argue surviving 1,699 runners in this format is a flex most bracelet winners never had to pull off. Do I think it was mostly run-good down the stretch? Sure, a little — everyone who wins a turbo needs cards to hold. But you can’t run good if you’re not still in your seat, and staying alive that long in a shove-fest is its own skill.

The Summer Is Done — What’s Left?

With all 100 bracelets handed out, the 2026 WSOP is in the books as one of the biggest in history. But the crown jewel is still undecided: the Main Event champion. If you’ve been following along, the Main Event final table is set, and a 22-year-old chip leader is threatening to run away with the whole thing when play resumes in August. She Wong’s super turbo is the last note of the summer’s undercard — the headliner is still to come.
