It’s every poker player’s dream to win a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet. Few have done it. Even fewer have two. But it’s truly a select group that has done it three times.
Georgios Sotiropoulos of Greece is now part of that poker pantheon after winning his third bracelet in 2021 WSOP Event #65: $1,000 Mini Main Event. Sotiropoulos outlasted a starting field of 3,821 entries to take home $432,575.
“It feels amazing. So many players in the tournament, 3,000 or so. So many hours played. And in the end, the result was what I wanted,” Sotiropoulos said.
Sotiropoulos is now a double-bracelet winner in 2021, also winning the Flip & Go Online on GGPoker in August. His first bracelet came at the 2015 WSOP Europe in a €1,100 No-Limit Hold’em Turbo event. He has established himself as one of the top no-limit hold’em players, but that reputation doesn’t really mean much to him.
“I don’t really think about that,” Sotiropoulos said. “But it’s an amazing achievement. I really love the World Series of Poker, Las Vegas, the tournaments, the people here. Everything excites me. Makes me come again and again, playing more and winning more. Feeling grateful.”

“I just want to keep playing, keep grinding,” he said. He’s now part of an elite company, but Sotiropoulos isn’t content to stop there.
