Maxx Coleman: Two-Time WSOP Bracelet Winner and Mixed-Game Standout
POKER HALL OF FAME
Inducted 2014
Maxx Coleman has developed one of the more versatile tournament résumés among American poker professionals, winning two World Series of Poker bracelets while producing deep runs in no-limit hold'em, pot-limit Omaha, draw games, stud variants and major mixed-game events.
The World Series of Poker currently credits Coleman with two bracelets and three WSOP Circuit rings. As of September 15, 2026, The Hendon Mob's all-time money list records $6,819,570 in live tournament earnings for Coleman, although tournament-database totals can change as new results are added.
Coleman's career has combined longevity with an ability to succeed across formats. His breakthrough results include a deep run in the 2013 WSOP Main Event, a major victory at the 2015 River Poker Series, two bracelet wins in 2022 and a series of high-level mixed-game finishes in recent years.
⠀
Who Is Maxx Coleman?
Maxx Coleman is an American professional poker player from Kansas. The Global Poker Index lists Derby, Kansas, as his residence, while poker coverage has also identified him with the Wichita area.
Coleman has recorded tournament results dating back to at least 2009 and became a recognizable name on the live tournament circuit during the following decade. His results eventually expanded well beyond no-limit hold'em into pot-limit Omaha, lowball, stud and mixed games.
That versatility has become one of the defining characteristics of his career. Rather than being associated with only one tournament format, Coleman has reached major final tables across several different poker disciplines.
⠀
Maxx Coleman's Early Tournament Career
One of Coleman's first nationally significant results came at the 2013 World Series of Poker Main Event.
Coleman finished 21st in the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event for $285,408. The deep run established him as a player capable of competing deep into poker's most recognizable tournament and represented one of the largest scores of his early career.
Two years later, Coleman recorded the result that remained his largest major live victory for years.
At the 2015 River Poker Series Main Event at WinStar World Casino, Coleman topped a field of 1,164 entries. PokerNews reported a $775,000 first-place payout following a three-way deal, while The Hendon Mob records $750,000 as Coleman's best live cash. The difference reflects how tournament databases can record deal-adjusted payouts differently.
The victory became an important milestone in Coleman's development from a player with several notable cashes into an established tournament professional.
⠀
Maxx Coleman's WSOP Bracelets
Coleman won both of his World Series of Poker bracelets in 2022, demonstrating his ability to win in significantly different forms of poker.
First WSOP Bracelet: 2022 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw
Coleman's first bracelet came in Event #29: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw at the 2022 World Series of Poker.
He defeated a field of 437 entries and beat Thomas Newton heads-up to win $127,809. The victory came after years of WSOP cashes and final-table appearances without a bracelet.
No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw rewards a different skill set from conventional hold'em. Players attempt to make the lowest possible five-card hand, with straights and flushes counting against them and aces playing high. Coleman's victory therefore added a specialized draw-game championship to a résumé that had previously been better known for hold'em and pot-limit Omaha results.
The official WSOP player profile for Maxx Coleman lists the victory as one of his two career bracelets.
Second WSOP Bracelet: 2022 Online NLH 6-Max
Coleman added his second bracelet later in 2022.
Playing online as "Mc4chess," he won WSOP Online Event #21: $600 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Max for $46,666. Coleman defeated two-time bracelet winner Bryan Piccioli heads-up after an event that generated 593 total entries, including re-entries.
Winning bracelets in both No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw and six-handed no-limit hold'em during the same year highlighted the range of games in which Coleman could compete successfully.
⠀
How Many WSOP Circuit Rings Does Maxx Coleman Have?
Coleman has three WSOP Circuit rings as of September 2026, according to the World Series of Poker.
His Circuit success predates his first bracelet. WSOP reporting from 2022 noted that Coleman already owned two rings when he won his first bracelet.
One of those earlier victories came in a $1,125 Pot-Limit Omaha event at the WSOP Circuit stop at Choctaw, where Coleman earned $43,471. WSOP coverage at the time described Coleman as a Kansas professional who had moved toward playing live pot-limit Omaha cash games.
Coleman later won another ring online in August 2023, taking down a $320 WSOP Online Circuit event for $26,841.
His combination of bracelets and Circuit rings reflects success across both flagship WSOP bracelet competition and the broader Circuit schedule.
⠀
Major Tournament Results Beyond His Bracelets
Coleman's two bracelet victories represent his most recognizable championships, but they account for only part of his tournament résumé.
His 2015 River Poker Series Main Event victory remains one of the biggest wins of his career. He has also accumulated substantial results in major championship events and high-level mixed games.
One of his largest recent hold'em results came at the 2025 World Poker Tour World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas. Coleman reached the six-handed final table and finished sixth for $540,000.
The World Poker Tour's Maxx Coleman profile lists seven Main Tour cashes and one Main Tour final table, but no WPT Main Tour title as of September 2026.
That WPT World Championship run demonstrated that Coleman's success is not limited to mixed games. He remains capable of navigating large-field, high-stakes no-limit hold'em tournaments alongside his increasingly prominent mixed-game schedule.
⠀
Maxx Coleman at the 2026 World Series of Poker
Coleman produced several notable finishes during the 2026 World Series of Poker, particularly in events that tested proficiency across multiple variants.
His deepest high-buy-in run came in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship, one of the WSOP's premier mixed-game tournaments. Coleman finished fourth for $417,607.
The final table included eventual champion Benny Glaser, runner-up Josh Arieh and Phil Ivey. Coleman's fourth-place result was one of the largest scores of his 2026 series.
He followed that performance with another championship-event final table, finishing third in the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship for $191,165.
Other significant 2026 WSOP results included:
Fifth place in the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha event for $117,950
Fifth place in the $1,500 Pick Your PLO event for $45,925
14th place in the $25,000 High Roller H.O.R.S.E. for $52,857
Those finishes came across PLO, stud hi-lo, H.O.R.S.E. and the Poker Players Championship rotation, reinforcing Coleman's standing as a versatile tournament player rather than a specialist in only one format.
⠀
Maxx Coleman's Live Tournament Earnings
As of September 15, 2026, The Hendon Mob's all-time money list records Maxx Coleman with $6,819,570 in live tournament earnings.
Because poker databases are continually updated, career earnings totals should be treated as a snapshot rather than a permanent figure. New cashes, corrections and differences in how tournament deals are recorded can change the total.
Coleman's Hendon Mob tournament record documents results spanning more than 15 years and across a wide variety of tournament formats.
His earnings have not been built around a single exceptionally large score. Instead, Coleman's career total reflects sustained tournament success, including the 2015 River Poker Series victory, WSOP bracelets, championship-event final tables, Circuit wins and his $540,000 finish at the 2025 WPT World Championship.
⠀
What Games Does Maxx Coleman Play?
Coleman's tournament record shows success across a particularly broad selection of poker games.
His significant results include:
No-Limit Hold'em
Pot-Limit Omaha
Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo
No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw
Limit 2-7 Triple Draw
Seven Card Stud
Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo
Razz
H.O.R.S.E.
Multi-game championship formats
It would be difficult to support a precise description of Coleman's tactical playing style without relying on subjective observation. His results provide stronger evidence for describing him as a versatile tournament and mixed-game player.
His two bracelets illustrate that range particularly well: one came in a specialized draw game and the other in six-handed no-limit hold'em.
⠀
Why Maxx Coleman Matters in Poker
Coleman's significance comes from the breadth and consistency of his tournament record.
He has won WSOP titles in different formats, collected three Circuit rings, reached a WPT World Championship final table and remained competitive in some of the WSOP's most demanding mixed-game events.
The progression of his career is also notable. His early accomplishments were heavily associated with no-limit hold'em, including the 2013 WSOP Main Event run and the 2015 River Poker Series title. Later results increasingly demonstrated proficiency in PLO and mixed games.
By 2026, Coleman's strongest WSOP performances included final tables in the Poker Players Championship, Stud Hi-Lo, pot-limit Omaha and Pick Your PLO.
That evolution gives his résumé unusual variety and helps explain why he continues to appear deep in events featuring very different poker disciplines.
⠀
Is Maxx Coleman Still Active in Poker?
Yes. Coleman remained highly active in major live tournaments through the 2026 season.
His 2026 World Series of Poker alone produced multiple final tables and nearly $900,000 in WSOP cashes across the series. His results included deep finishes from the early portion of the schedule through the $25,000 H.O.R.S.E. event near the end of the series.
The Global Poker Index's September 9, 2026 update ranked Coleman No. 84 in the world, further indicating that he continued to record meaningful recent tournament results.
With two bracelets, three Circuit rings and more than $6.8 million in recorded live tournament earnings, Coleman remains an active professional with a résumé spanning hold'em, Omaha and a wide range of mixed games.
