Schulman Adds to His Legacy with Eighth WSOP Bracelet
Nick Schulman cemented his status as one of the premier mixed-game specialists in the world on Friday night, capturing his eighth World Series of Poker bracelet in the $1,500 HORSE event — once again standing between a first-time bracelet hopeful and poker immortality.
Why This Victory Stands Out
Eight bracelets is a rarefied milestone. To put it in context, the all-time bracelet leaderboard is populated by only a handful of names, and Schulman continues to inch his way into genuinely historic company. What makes his résumé particularly impressive is where these victories have come — mixed-game formats like HORSE demand mastery across Hold'em, Omaha Hi-Lo, Razz, Stud, and Stud Hi-Lo, requiring a depth of technical skill that no single-game specialist can fake at a final table.
The Recurring Theme
This isn't the first time Schulman has been the veteran spoiler at a WSOP final table, denying a first-time winner their breakthrough moment. It's a pattern that speaks to his consistency: he doesn't just reach final tables in mixed events — he tends to win them. For the player he defeated heads-up, the near-miss will sting, but losing to an eight-time bracelet winner is a résumé line in its own right.
What to Watch
- Schulman's bracelet count (8) continues to grow exclusively in high-skill, multi-discipline formats — a calling card few players can match.
- The $1,500 HORSE buy-in level typically draws a strong field of mixed-game regulars, making the win all the more competitive.
- With the 2025 WSOP still in full swing, attention now turns to whether any other multi-bracelet contenders can make noise in the remaining mixed-game schedule.
