Tyler Patterson's Early Poker Career
Patterson's recorded tournament history begins in 2005, several years before he became a regular presence at major championship events.
He recorded his first World Series of Poker cashes in 2009 and spent the following years building a résumé through repeated deep runs at the WSOP and other major tournament stops.
Omaha became an important part of Patterson's early WSOP success. Before winning his first bracelet, he had already reached final tables in Pot-Limit Omaha and mixed hold'em/Omaha competition.
His first major nationally recognized championship breakthrough, however, came on the World Poker Tour.
⠀
2012 WPT Borgata Poker Open Final Table
Patterson reached one of the biggest final tables of his early career at the 2012 WPT Borgata Poker Open Championship in Atlantic City.
He finished third in the $3,500 championship event and earned $298,950. The result was one of Patterson's largest tournament scores at the time and established him as a player capable of making a deep run in a major WPT field.
The Borgata result would not be Patterson's last significant appearance on the World Poker Tour.
Three years later, he returned to a WPT final table and converted the opportunity into one of the defining victories of his career.
⠀
Tyler Patterson Wins His First WSOP Bracelet
Patterson captured his first World Series of Poker bracelet in 2014.
He won the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo event, defeating a field of 991 entries and earning $270,992.
The final table included several accomplished tournament players, including Scott Clements, Jeff Madsen, Tom Schneider, and Derek Raymond. Patterson ultimately defeated Clements heads-up to secure the bracelet.
The victory marked a significant career milestone after several years of WSOP cashes and deep finishes.
It also established Patterson as a WSOP champion in a split-pot Omaha format, an accomplishment that later became even more notable when he won his second bracelet in an entirely different form of poker.
⠀
WPT bestbet Bounty Scramble Champion
Patterson added a World Poker Tour championship in November 2015 when he won the WPT bestbet Bounty Scramble at bestbet Jacksonville.
The $5,000 Main Event attracted 412 entries. Patterson reached a final table that included Ben Zamani, Jake Schwartz, Ryan Dunn, Marvin Karlins, and Stan Jablonski.
He defeated Zamani heads-up to win the title and collect $375,270.
The victory gave Patterson his first WPT Main Tour championship and placed his name on the WPT Champions Cup.
Patterson's success at bestbet Jacksonville continued after the victory. He returned to the final table of the WPT bestbet Bounty Scramble the following year and finished fourth for $100,643. He later added another cash in the event in the 2017-2018 WPT season.
Those results made bestbet Jacksonville one of the most productive WPT stops of Patterson's career.

⠀
WSOP Circuit Success
Patterson's tournament résumé also includes success on the World Series of Poker Circuit.
As of August 2026, the WSOP credits Patterson with two Circuit rings in addition to his two WSOP bracelets.
Those accomplishments further separate his career from one built around only a handful of major scores. Patterson has won across different levels of the WSOP tournament system while continuing to accumulate cashes and final-table appearances.
The WSOP currently lists Patterson with more than 175 career cashes across events tracked on its player platform.

⠀
RunGood Poker Series Success
Patterson has also developed an extensive record on the RunGood Poker Series, particularly at Thunder Valley Casino Resort in Northern California.
One of his biggest regional-tour results came in July 2023 when he won the $2,500 RunGood Poker Series Checkpoint Main Event at Thunder Valley.
Patterson earned $200,422 for the victory.
That championship followed another major performance at the same property. Patterson had finished runner-up in the 2022 RunGood Poker Series Season Finale Main Event, earning $156,845.
He continued adding RunGood results in subsequent seasons.
In December 2025, Patterson won the $1,100 To the Moon event at Thunder Valley for $60,185, giving him another RunGood title.
RunGood's official player statistics list Patterson with two victories and more than $480,000 in earnings from events tracked by the tour as of August 2026.
His continued participation in the series was evident again in July 2026, when he recorded multiple cashes at the RGPS Passport Thunder Valley Season Finale.
⠀
Tyler Patterson Wins His Second WSOP Bracelet
Eleven years after capturing his first bracelet, Patterson returned to the World Series of Poker winner's circle in 2025.
He won Event #49, the $3,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em tournament, at the 2025 WSOP in Las Vegas.
Patterson defeated a field of 1,421 entries to earn $574,223 and his second career bracelet. He defeated Matthew Wantman heads-up for the championship.
The $574,223 payout became the largest recorded live tournament cash of Patterson's career.
The victory also added another dimension to his WSOP record.
His first bracelet had come in Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo, a split-pot game. His second came in six-handed no-limit hold'em, a format requiring a substantially different tournament skill set.
Winning bracelets in those two disciplines more than a decade apart illustrates both Patterson's versatility and his ability to remain competitive as tournament poker continued to evolve.
⠀
Tyler Patterson's Poker Versatility
Patterson's career is difficult to define by a single poker format.
His two WSOP bracelets provide the strongest evidence of that versatility. One came in Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo and the other in six-handed no-limit hold'em.
His broader tournament record also includes deep results in Pot-Limit Omaha, mixed hold'em/Omaha events, traditional no-limit hold'em championships, bounty tournaments, and regional Main Events.
Patterson told PokerNews following his 2025 bracelet victory that he had spent considerable time studying poker earlier in his career, including reading extensively about the game. He also discussed continuing to lean on longtime friend and fellow professional Matt Affleck for guidance on modern game-theory concepts.
His results suggest a career built on adapting across formats rather than specializing exclusively in one game.

Tyler Patterson's Biggest Poker Results
Patterson has accumulated numerous six-figure scores during his live tournament career.
Among his most significant recorded results are:
2025 WSOP $3,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em — 1st, $574,223
2015 WPT bestbet Bounty Scramble — 1st, $375,270

2014 WSOP $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo — 1st, $270,992

2022 RGPS Season Finale Main Event — 2nd, $156,845
Hendon Mob lists Patterson with more than $4.2 million in recorded live tournament earnings as of August 2026.
Tournament earnings are not a measure of poker profit because published databases generally track payouts rather than buy-ins, expenses, losses, staking arrangements, or taxes. Patterson's career earnings total should therefore be understood as recorded tournament cashes rather than net poker income.
⠀
Is Tyler Patterson Still Playing Poker?
Yes. Patterson remains active in live tournament poker.
His official WSOP profile includes multiple cashes from the 2026 World Series of Poker, while RunGood's records show additional tournament cashes at Thunder Valley in July 2026.
At the 2026 RGPS Passport Thunder Valley Season Finale, Patterson cashed in multiple events, including a seventh-place finish in a $500 Pot-Limit Omaha tournament.
His continued activity is notable because his recorded live tournament results began more than two decades earlier.
Rather than having a career defined only by accomplishments from the poker boom era, Patterson has continued competing through multiple generations of tournament poker. His 2025 WSOP bracelet remains the clearest recent example, arriving 11 years after his first bracelet and roughly two decades after his earliest recorded tournament cashes.

Why Tyler Patterson Matters in Poker
Patterson's career stands out for its combination of longevity, versatility, and success across several major tournament organizations.
He is a WSOP champion in both Omaha Hi-Lo and no-limit hold'em. He has won a World Poker Tour championship, collected WSOP Circuit rings, and established a substantial record on the RunGood Poker Series.
His second WSOP bracelet strengthened that résumé because it came 11 years after his first and in a completely different poker discipline.
Patterson has also remained active well beyond the period when he first became a nationally recognized tournament player.
Rather than being remembered for a single victory or final-table run, his career is built around repeated success over more than 20 years of live tournament competition.
