Richard Alsup claimed Event #18: $1,500 Monster Stack at 2026 WSOP. He turned 11,933 entries into $1,302,125. His second WSOP bracelet and first seven-figure live score. Prize pool hit $15,841,057. Salvatore Dicarlo took second for $900,000.
Alsup outlasted a massive field. His new score is almost five times his prior best. Career earnings now over $3.9M. “I stayed positive and felt I’d win,” he told PokerNews. The Monster Stack is known for big fields and life-changing payouts.
Final table had pros. Alsup started sixth. He cracked Dicarlo’s aces twice. Heads-up, he survived river help. Final hand: ace-seven beat ace-king. Dicarlo got $900K, Alsup the bracelet. Poker’s a game of moments; Alsup’s win cements his spot.
