Seth Davies Captures First WSOP Bracelet in $250,000 Super High Roller for $4.75 Million

For years, Seth Davies has quietly carved out a reputation as one of the most technically sound, respected minds in high-stakes poker. Yet despite his countless deep runs and millions in earnings, one thing always eluded him — a World Series of Poker (WSOP) gold bracelet.

That all changed in dramatic fashion this week in Las Vegas, as Davies conquered the $250,000 Super High Roller at the 2025 WSOP, bagging his first WSOP title and a jaw-dropping $4,752,551 payday — the largest score of his career.

A Career-Defining Moment on Poker’s Grandest Stage

Played at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, the $250,000 Super High Roller is the crown jewel of the WSOP’s high-roller calendar. The event attracted 63 entries, creating a staggering $15,584,625 prize pool.

Davies, long seen as a “pro’s pro” in elite circles, entered the final table with a middle-of-the-pack stack. But by the end of the night, he stood alone, having defeated three-time bracelet winner Alex Foxen in a lightning-fast heads-up battle.

“This one’s special,” Davies said in his winner’s interview. “I remember watching WSOP on TV back in 2003, 2004, and thinking — man, it’d be cool to win one of those someday.”

Two decades later, he finally did.

A Wild Ride to the Bracelet

The path to victory was anything but smooth. Early at the final table, Davies seemed more likely to be an early casualty than the eventual champion. His stack fluctuated wildly, and at one point, he found himself all-in with ace-jack against Foxen’s ace-queen — the very first hand of heads-up play.

The flop? A jack.

It was the turning point of the tournament.

Just one hand later, Davies picked up pocket aces — a dream scenario — while Foxen tried to fight back with king-five. Although Foxen flopped top pair and turned two pair, Davies’ aces counterfeited Foxen’s hand on the river. In the span of two hands, Davies closed the door on what had been an epic final table.

“The Shark Jacket” and a Bit of Poker Karma

In a moment that only adds to the legend, Davies revealed a fun backstory: Jason Koon had gifted him a Burberry “shark” jacket at the start of the tournament.

“Koon showed up in Korea with this jacket, and ‘Shark’ is the nickname he gave me,” Davies said. “He let me borrow it for the series. I couldn’t wear it at the final table — it was way too hot — but it means a lot.”

And maybe, just maybe, it brought a little luck.

Cooler After Cooler at the Final Table

The final table wasn’t short on drama. From Ben Tollerene’s pocket kings getting cracked by aces, to Martin Kabrhel’s dramatic antics and eventual bust, the action was nonstop.

Kabrhel’s elimination came in true poker fashion — facing Chris Brewer’s aces with a suited connector. He flopped a pair but couldn’t improve. In typical Kabrhel style, he laughed it off, drew cheers from the rail, and exited with flair.

Chris Brewer was next to go after falling into another brutal cooler — flopping top pair only for Foxen to river a full house. Brewer’s reaction, a mix of shock and dark humor, summed up the nature of high-stakes tournament poker: ruthless, thrilling, and unforgiving.

Thomas Boivin: So Close, Yet Again

For Belgian pro Thomas Boivin, this marked another heart-wrenching third-place finish — his second in a Super High Roller at the 2025 WSOP. Despite holding the chip lead earlier, Boivin ran into multiple tough spots, including losing a pivotal pot to Davies late in three-handed play.

Nevertheless, his performance vaults him to the top of Belgium’s all-time money list and reaffirms his status as one of the most consistent high-stakes crushers in the game today.

Seth Davies: A Quiet Star Breaks Through

What makes Davies’ story so special is how understated his rise has been. Unlike some of poker’s more brash personalities, Davies has built his career quietly — with precision, humility, and dedication.

For many fans, this win feels like justice finally served. A player who’s put in the work, stayed out of drama, and always carried himself with class finally has the WSOP bracelet to match his résumé.

Asked if something had changed recently in his game or mindset, Davies smiled:

“I’ve just been running good, honestly. But I’ve come full circle mentally — I’m more satisfied and content with where I’m at, win or lose.”

Now, with a WSOP title, nearly $5 million more in winnings, and a growing fanbase, Seth Davies no longer needs to worry about missing accolades. He’s officially a bracelet winner — and one of the biggest of the summer.
