Sergei “CaseyStewart” Kislinskii had won two gold bracelets and finished second twice through the first 18 events of the 2026 WSOP Online Fall Bracelet Series. His four final-table results had produced more than $225,000 in prizes, and he needed one more victory to equal the WSOP’s three-bracelet single-year mark.

The 33-event U.S. series had completed 18 tournaments, leaving 15 bracelets available. Pokerfuse reported that Kislinskii’s four top-two finishes alone were worth more than $225,607, excluding any other cashes he may have made during the festival.

Kislinskii began the run by winning Event #6, the $2,000 NLH Big PKO. He beat a 193-entry field for $90,000 from a $357,000 prize pool.

He then finished runner-up in Event #8, the $1,000 NLH Deepstack, earning about $64,000 from a 372-entry tournament with a $334,800 prize pool. Another second-place result followed in Event #12, the $888 NLH Fall Crazy 8’s, where 346 entries created a $276,800 prize pool and Kislinskii won nearly $48,000.

His second bracelet came in Event #14, the $500 NLH 6-Max. That victory paid about $48,000 after Kislinskii outlasted 565 entries for a share of the $254,250 prize pool. Both of his bracelet wins came without a re-entry.

Kislinskii also led the series leaderboard with 2,344.6 points. Holding that position through the end of the schedule would add $15,000 in tournament-ticket prizes.

The record benchmark is three bracelets in a calendar year. PokerNews’ April 2025 review counted seven players who had reached it, including Ted Forrest and Phil Hellmuth, who each won three bracelets in 1993. Pokerfuse described eight players as having achieved three in a year, but both accounts place Kislinskii one win from the same total. Hellmuth remains the overall WSOP bracelet leader with 17.

The series had awarded more than $5 million across 8,970 entries by this point. Its fall online events generally draw smaller fields than some major online festivals, though the competition remains difficult. Mike “KissTheRings” Holtz stood second in the leaderboard, with Jesse “Dangerous22” Lonis third.

Three events were scheduled for the weekend beginning Oct. 24: Event #19, the $400 PLOSSUS PKO 6-Max; the $600 NLH Deepstack Championship; and the $500 PLO Mystery Bounty 6-Max, which carried a $200,000 guarantee.
