Action folded to Raul Celaya on the button with A?10? and got called by John Armbrust from the big blind with the 7?7? to see a flop of K?8?3?.

Armbrust check-called a bet from Celaya on the flop, prompting the dealer to place the 10? on the turn.

Both players checked through to the J? river before again checking through to showdown.

Celaya turned up the winning hand and dragged the pot in as Armbrust tossed his cards toward the muck.

John Celaya found himself as the short stack when action resumed in Level 31, but found a good spot to get in his chips.

John Armbrust, the second biggest stack at the table, raised preflop with J?J?. Action folded to Celaya, who was in the big blind with K?Q? and made the call.

The flop of Q?10?9? brought fireworks after Celaya checked. Armbrust bet, then Celaya check-raised. Armbrust responded with a re-raise with an open-ended straight, and Celaya moved all in and ahead with top pair.

The 6? came on the turn, followed by 3? on the river to give Celaya the win.

While winning a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet is one of the greatest accomplishments a poker player can achieve, many of the greatest and most successful players in the game have yet to put one on their wrists.

PokerNews has had a decent track record with highlighting players without bracelets who have gone on to win them. Jason Koon won a maiden bracelet in 2021 after making the "Best Without a Bracelet" list that year, while Dan Smith and Alex Foxen both found bracelets in 2022 to be removed from that year's list.

With the 2023 WSOP happening now, here's a look at some of the best players who have yet to add a World Series bracelet to their long lists of accolades.
