Three-Time WSOP Bracelet Winner Battling It Out
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.
