Dan Cates has won his first WSOP gold bracelet in Event #60: $50,000 Poker Players Championship after overcoming a stacked final table and defeating Ryan Leng heads-up. In addition to a bracelet, Cates also took home the $954,020 first-place prize and the right to have his name engraved into the Chip Reese Memorial Trophy. It was only Cates’ third cash ever at the WSOP, after a deep run in the 2015 WSOP Main Event and a sixth-place finish in the 2019 Poker Players Championship for $168,305. Lára met up with Cates after his bracelet ceremony to hear his thoughts on the final table, that controversial hand with Ryan Leng, and his Hall of Fame aspirations.
