Martin Zamani has won his fifth WSOP Online bracelet, tying Guy Dunlap for the most online bracelets in World Series of Poker history. Zamani took down a $500 No-Limit Hold'em Fall Saver on WSOP Online in Nevada for $83,961, beating WSOP Circuit ring winner Shane Martin heads-up in a 610-entry field.
The win came almost exactly one year after Zamani's fourth bracelet, and it puts him alongside Dunlap, who collected his fifth online title this summer, as one of only two players ever to win five WSOP bracelets online.
The Event: $500 Fall Saver
The Fall Saver drew 610 entries on WSOP Online's Nevada platform. Zamani needed two bullets to get the job done, firing a second entry before going all the way.
Final Table Results
| Place | Player | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Martin Zamani | $83,961 |
| 2 | Shane Martin | $61,866 |
| 3 | Daniel Maor | $45,338 |

| 6 | Jeffery Hoop | $15,466 |
| 7 | James Collopy | $11,047 |
| 8 | David Peters | $8,838 |
That is a seriously tough final table for a $500 online event. It featured:
- Daniel Maor, the 2024 WSOP Online Championship winner, in third.
- James Collopy, a three-time WSOP winner, in seventh.
- David Peters, a four-time bracelet winner and one of the most successful high-stakes tournament players of the past decade, in eighth.
- Shane Martin, a WSOP Circuit ring winner who also fired two bullets, as runner-up.
Nevada's online poker market is small, but its regular player pool includes many of the world's best live tournament professionals, who live in or travel to Las Vegas. That makes WSOP Online's Nevada events tougher than their buy-ins suggest.
Zamani vs Dunlap: Two Very Different Paths
What makes the record particularly interesting is how different the two co-record holders are.
Guy Dunlap is the online specialist. He won his fifth online bracelet this summer in a No-Limit Hold'em Monster Stack event on WSOP Online. Yet according to PokerNews, Dunlap has only around $107,000 in live tournament cashes.
Martin Zamani is the opposite. A longtime high roller and live tournament regular, Zamani has more than $8.5 million in live tournament earnings. Remarkably, despite that live success, all five of his WSOP bracelets have come online.
Their paths show how online bracelet events reward different skill sets. Dunlap's record reflects deep expertise in online tournament play, while Zamani has shown he can translate a live high roller game into online success.
The Rise of Online Bracelets
The WSOP first awarded online bracelets in 2015, and the number of online events has grown dramatically since then. The turning point came in 2020, when the pandemic forced the WSOP to move its summer series online, with events on WSOP.com in the US and on GGPoker internationally.
Since then, online bracelets have become a permanent part of the WSOP calendar, with dedicated online series in the summer and other bracelet events throughout the year. That has opened the door for players like Dunlap and Zamani to build impressive collections without needing to win in the Rio or Horseshoe ballrooms.
Some traditionalists argue that online bracelets should be counted separately from live ones. Others say a bracelet is a bracelet, especially in tough fields like this one. Either way, five online titles is an elite achievement.
Who Is Martin Zamani?
Zamani is a well-known figure on the high roller circuit, with years of results in big-buy-in events. His $8.5 million in live earnings places him among the more successful tournament players on the high roller circuit.
His WSOP Online record is now outstanding, with five bracelets including this latest title. Winning bracelets online requires a specific skill set: multi-tabling, fast decision-making and adapting to a constantly changing field. That Zamani has excelled in both live high rollers and online events speaks to his versatility.
What This Means for Players
Zamani's record is a reminder that online poker has become one of the best ways to win prestigious titles. Here is what players can take from it:
You do not need to travel to Las Vegas to win a bracelet. WSOP Online events in regulated US states offer bracelets at buy-ins far below many live events. Our guide on where online poker is legal in the US covers the regulated states.
Re-entries are part of the game. Zamani won on his second bullet. In re-entry tournaments, firing a second bullet can be correct if the field is soft and your bankroll allows it. Our bankroll management guide explains how to budget for re-entries.
Big fields reward volume. Playing more tournaments gives you more chances at a deep run. If you are outside the regulated states, offshore sites offer large tournament schedules. See our US poker sites rankings, which include Americas Cardroom and BetOnline.

The Race for Six
With Zamani and Dunlap tied at five, the obvious question is who will reach six first. Both players are active, and with WSOP Online running bracelet events throughout the year, a sixth title could arrive soon.
Dunlap's volume and online focus may give him an edge, but Zamani has shown he can win at almost any time. The online bracelet race now has a genuine head-to-head storyline.

Why Small Buy-Ins Still Matter to Big Names
It may seem surprising that a player with more than $8.5 million in live earnings would fire two bullets in a $500 online event. But bracelets carry prestige that prize money alone cannot buy, and online bracelet events are among the most accessible chances to add to a collection. For high rollers, a few hundred dollars is a small price for a shot at WSOP history, and Zamani's latest title shows that the strategy can pay off.
The Bottom Line
Martin Zamani's fifth online bracelet puts him in the record books alongside Guy Dunlap. With $83,961 for the win and a tough final table conquered, Zamani has cemented his place as one of the most successful online bracelet winners in WSOP history.
