Arthur Thiriart, playing as “Higher Self,” won GGPoker’s 2026 WSOP Event #6: $1,500 Monster Stack No-Limit Hold’em for $256,542 and his first bracelet.

Arthur Thiriart has converted his 2026 World Series of Poker campaign into a career-best result, winning Event #6: $1,500 Monster Stack No-Limit Hold'em on GGPoker for $256,542 and his first WSOP bracelet.

Playing under the screen name "Higher Self," Thiriart topped a field of 1,482 entries to win the event. The tournament generated a $2,111,850 prize pool, with 210 players reaching the money.

The victory also represents a substantial improvement on Thiriart's previous biggest tournament score.
From $51,713 to a Career-Best $256,542

Before the latest win, Thiriart's largest tournament cash was $51,713. He recorded that result at the 2026 WSOP in Las Vegas after finishing 14th in the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed Championship.

That deep run had already marked a significant result during Thiriart's 2026 WSOP campaign, but Event #6 produced an even bigger outcome.

His victory on GGPoker delivered a new career-best tournament score of $256,542, while also securing his first WSOP bracelet.

Event #6 carried a $1,500 buy-in and attracted 1,482 entries. The field created a $2,111,850 prize pool, with 210 players securing a payout.

Thiriart claimed the largest portion of that prize pool by finishing first for $256,542.
Alongside the prize money and his first bracelet, the victory also awarded Thiriart a $30,000 Super Pass to the 2026 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event. The "Higher Self" screen name finished at the top of the standings following a nine-player final table.

The $256,542 payday now stands as Thiriart's largest recorded tournament score. It surpasses the $51,713 he collected for his 14th-place finish in the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed Championship at the 2026 WSOP in Las Vegas.
