Brent Gregory, a poker player from Raymore, Missouri, has been a consistent presence on the live tournament circuit. Prior to his breakout win in 2026, he had amassed more than $700,000 in live earnings.

2026 WSOP Bracelet Victory

Gregory's crowning achievement came at the 2026 World Series of Poker in Event #28: $600 Deepstack Mixed No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha. The tournament drew 3,332 entries, and Gregory navigated a stacked final table that included poker legends Daniel Negreanu, Alex Foxen, Josh Reichard, and Maurice Hawkins. After Negreanu exited in eighth place, Gregory faced Maurice Hawkins heads-up. Hawkins held a dominant chip lead, but Gregory mounted a remarkable comeback, eventually winning with a flopped set of fours in a PLO hand. Gregory earned $204,140 and his first WSOP bracelet. "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous," Gregory told PokerNews, acknowledging the elite competition.

Gregory is known for his composure under pressure, as demonstrated by his ability to overcome a tough final table and a heads-up deficit. He competes across a range of buy-ins, from $600 mixed games to $1,500 events, showing versatility in both NLH and PLO. His results suggest a solid, well-rounded game capable of adapting to different formats.

With over $625,000 in live tournament earnings Gregory has established himself as a respected grinder on the WSOP and RunGood circuit. His 2026 bracelet victory, achieved against some of the best players in the world, cements his place as a player who can perform under the brightest lights.
