Ben Heath is a British poker player and WSOP bracelet winner with over $12.5 million in career earnings. He studied mathematics at the University of Warwick and graduated with a BSc in 2013.
His bracelet victory came back in 2019, winning the $50,000 High Roller for $1.48 million.
"When I was younger, I was shy and didn't really want to win the bracelet," he told PokerNews. "I would have rather just taken second place. But now that it has happened, it feels great!”
In 2021, he narrowly missed out on a second bracelet after finishing second in the WSOP $250,000 Super High Roller to Adrian Mateos. He still walked away with over $2 million, the largest cash of his career.
