Brazil has one more reason to celebrate in the world of poker. On June 12, 2026, Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski won the Event #36 – $100,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em of the World Series of Poker and took home his 6th bracelet (HEXA!) and impressive $2.8 million.
The feat
- Yuri surpassed 115 entries in the $100,000 buy-in.
- It was your first bracelet in No-Limit Hold'em - he was already a master in variants (mixed games), and proved dominance also in the most popular format in the world.
- With the 6th bracelet, he enters the top 18 of all time in number of bracelets, alongside names like Jason Mercier, Jeremy Ausmus and Kristen Foxen.
- It was his second biggest prize of his career, behind only the title of $1.94 million at the Triton Cyprus 2022.
Yes, with ease, one of the greatest results of Brazilian poker - and reinforces why many people consider Yuri the best all-around player in the country.
What is a "High Roller"?
High Roller is a high buy-in tournament (here, $100,000), which brings together the best players and professionals in the world. Small field, giant prizes and very high level. It's not for everyone - but you can get there via satellites (cheap tournaments that give you a spot in expensive events) and, of course, a lot of study.
The lesson that matters for YOUR game
The nickname is not for nothing: "theNERDguy". Yuri is known for studying a lot — solver, theory, hand review. Talent opens the door, but it is consistent study that keeps someone at the top for years.
You don't need $100,000 to apply the same principle: review your hands, find your mistakes and train your decisions. That's what separates those who park from those who evolve - from the micro to the high roller.
