A Long-Awaited Victory
Reflecting on his win, Bryant expressed a sense of fulfillment. “I’m pretty excited,” he said. “This feels like a long time coming. Every time I’ve been in the Circuit Main, nothing ever works out.” He recounted a previous near-miss where his trip kings fell to a rivered ace, underscoring the challenges he’s faced in past events.

Entering the final day with a substantial chip lead, Bryant navigated the final table with strategic precision. Early eliminations included B.J. McBrayer in sixth place and Jason Munlin in fifth.
