Allan Le Is 14-Handed in Dealers Choice, Hunting Bracelet No. 3

Allan Le has two WSOP bracelets, $1.67 million in lifetime tournament earnings, and he's sitting on 785,000 chips with 14 players remaining in the $1,500 Dealers Choice 6-Handed — the exact kind of event that built his résumé.

Event #20 is down to its final two tables. Le's stack slots him second overall, trailing only Philip Wess (1,200,080) and sitting just ahead of Kelvin Zhao (750,000). Of the 14 remaining players, Le is the only multi-bracelet winner in the field.

That detail matters more in Dealers Choice than almost anywhere else on the WSOP schedule.

Of the 14 remaining players, Le is the only multi-bracelet winner in the field.

Why Dealers Choice Is Le's Event

Dealers Choice isn't a hold'em grind where a 22-year-old solver kid can GTO-bot his way to a title. Every orbit, the player on the button picks the game — Stud, Razz, 2-7 Triple Draw, Omaha Hi-Lo, Badugi, and everything in between. The format rewards breadth, not depth. You need to be competent in a dozen variants and dangerous in at least half of them.

Le's two bracelets both came in non-hold'em or mixed-game formats. Eight lifetime WSOP final tables across that profile tells you he isn't a tourist in these rotations — he's a local. The kind of player who picks Badacey on the button because he knows two opponents at the table have never played it.

At 785,000, Le has roughly 4.7× the average stack (assuming a roughly even distribution across the 14 remaining players against total chips in play). That's deep enough to pick spots and apply pressure in the games he selects — a compounding advantage in a format where game selection is literally a strategic weapon.

The Field Around Him

Philip Wess holds the chip lead at 1,200,080. Wess has zero bracelets and zero rings on his WSOP record, making this a potential breakthrough run. Kelvin Zhao (750,000) is in a similar position — no prior WSOP hardware.

Steven Rosling sits fourth with 555,000, and John Bunch — a six-time WSOP final tablist with $411,750 in career earnings — is the short stack among the named leaders at 165,000.

The contrast is stark: Le is the only player at the top of the counts with multiple pieces of WSOP gold. Everyone else is chasing their first.

What a Third Bracelet Would Mean

A win here would push Le past $1.67 million in lifetime cashes and give him three bracelets — all in non-hold'em or mixed formats. That's a specific kind of pedigree. Players with three or more bracelets exclusively in mixed games are a small club, and Le would be adding his name alongside the Dealers Choice and mixed-game lifers who've defined this corner of the WSOP.

Le was picked up by Team Blades & Shades in the 25kFantasy contest, where he's already locked 12 fantasy points with a ceiling of 82. A deep run from here turns him into a roster centerpiece.

Fourteen players. Two tables. And the best mixed-game résumé in the room belongs to the guy with the second-biggest stack.
