Andrew Moreno's 20 Final Tables, Zero Bracelets — and One More Shot

Andrew Moreno has made 20 final tables and earned $4.07 million in his career, and none of it has produced a bracelet — but he's nine-handed at the WSOP Monster Stack final table with a shot at changing that.

The $1,500 Monster Stack is one of the summer's most grueling events. Four days of play. A field that starts so deep-stacked it rewards patience, stamina, and an almost unreasonable tolerance for variance. The kind of tournament where surviving Day 2 feels like an accomplishment and reaching Day 4 feels like running a marathon on fumes.

Moreno has reached Day 4. He's one of nine players still standing.

Andrew Moreno has made 20 final tables and earned $4.07 million in his career, and none of it has produced a bracelet.

The Résumé Without a Title

Twenty lifetime WSOP final tables is an absurd number. It's the kind of stat that, in almost every case, comes paired with at least one piece of gold hardware. That Moreno has threaded twenty final-table needles and walked away empty-handed every single time is less a commentary on his ability and more a testament to how cruel the final stretch of a bracelet event can be.

His $4,065,838 in career earnings confirms what his results already suggest: this is a player who consistently goes deep in the biggest fields in poker. He converts entries into deep runs at an elite rate. He just hasn't converted a deep run into a bracelet.

The Monster Stack — Event #18 of the 2026 World Series of Poker at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas — is attempt number twenty-one.

The Table Around Him

Moreno isn't the only player at this final table with something to prove, but he's the one with the most at stake narratively.

Matthew Miller sits with the identified chip lead at 44,900,000. Miller holds two WSOP Circuit rings, six lifetime final tables, and $177,854 in career earnings — a fraction of Moreno's total, but he has the chips. In a nine-handed final, that leverage matters.

She Wong brings a Circuit ring and four final tables of her own, plus $267,978 in lifetime cashes. Arthur Teisseire, from France, adds an international dimension to the table. Paul Vang rounds out the identified contingent with $113,722 in career earnings.

None of the nine players remaining owns a bracelet. Somebody at this table is going to win their first.

What Makes This One Different

The Monster Stack rewards a specific kind of player. The starting stacks are enormous relative to the blinds, which compresses the luck factor early and expands it late. Players who thrive in deep-stack poker — who can navigate 80-big-blind decisions on Day 1 and 15-big-blind decisions on Day 4 — have an edge that compounds over four days of play.

Moreno's résumé suggests he's exactly that kind of player. You don't reach 20 final tables without a deep understanding of tournament poker across every stack depth. The question has never been whether he can get here. He can. He has, twenty times.

The question is what happens when the table shrinks from nine to three to heads-up, and the bracelet is sitting on a velvet display ten feet from the table.

The Math of the Drought

Consider what it takes to final-table a WSOP event once. Survive a field that typically runs into the thousands. Navigate multiple days of play. Dodge every cooler, every bad beat, every spot where the deck simply doesn't cooperate.

Now do that twenty times. And lose every time.

Moreno's bracelet drought isn't evidence of a flaw. It's evidence of an extraordinarily high baseline — a player who reaches the moment of truth so often that the absence of a win becomes its own kind of story.

On June 10, at Horseshoe Las Vegas, the Monster Stack final table plays down to a winner. Moreno has the résumé, the experience, and the reps. Whether he finally has the result depends on what happens over the next several hours of play.
