LAS VEGAS (July 15, 2025) – Out of 9,735 total entrants in the third-largest World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event in history, only nine players remain as the lineup is set for the 56th annual WSOP Main Event final table. John Wasnock, Michael Mizrachi, Braxton Dunaway, Kenny Hallaert, Leonor Margets, Luka Bojovic, Adam Hendrix, Daehyung Lee, and Jarod Minghini will return to the Horseshoe and Paris in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Tuesday, July 15, with each player eyeing not only the $10 million top prize and WSOP Main Event bracelet, but a chance at forever solidifying their names in poker history. Duking it out over eight days of poker action, the resilience of the nine remaining players has earned them a seat at poker’s most prestigious final table. Action at the 2025 WSOP Main Event final table will begin at 1:30 P.M. local time and will play down to four players, with the final day of the tournament set for Wednesday, July 16, starting at 1:30 P.M. local time. A historic WSOP Main Event final table that includes not only a four-time Poker Players Championship winner but also the first woman since 1995, poker fans around the world look forward to a highly anticipated conclusion to the 2025 WSOP Main Event. 2025 WSOP Main Event Final Table Chip Counts: John Wasnock (North Bend, Washington, United States) - 108,100,000 ChipsJohn Wasnock, 50, is a poker player from North Bend, Washington who will be proudly representing the Evergreen state at the WSOP Main Event final table as the overall chip leader. Owning over $143 thousand in live tournament earnings, Wasnock’s largest career cash of $56,330 has been far surpassed with his performance in the Main Event. Michael Mizrachi (Las Vegas, Nevada, United States) – 93,000,000 ChipsMichael Mizrachi, 44, is the most decorated poker player to reach the 2025 WSOP Main Event final table. A seven-time WSOP bracelet winner, Mizrachi has already had a historic summer, winning his record fourth Poker Players Championship title. On the cusp of adding a WSOP Main Event title to his already long list of poker accolades, taking down the 2025 WSOP Main Event would add $10 million to Mizrachi’s already impressive live tournament earnings total of just over $19 million. Braxton Dunaway (Midland, Texas, United States) - 91,900,000 ChipsBraxton Dunaway, 42, lives in Midland, Texas, and is a family man who makes his living in the oil and gas industry. Already having a WSOP bracelet to his name, Dunaway won the $1,500 Monster Stack for $1,162,681 during the 2023 WSOP. Dunaway’s $1.5 million in live tournament earnings could increase tenfold by winning the $10 million top prize in the 2025 WSOP Main Event. Kenny Hallaert (London, England, United Kingdom) – 80,500,000 ChipsKenny Hallaert, 43, is a Belgian professional poker player residing in London, England. No stranger to success on the felt, Hallaert has racked up a number of poker tournament titles across poker tournament series around Europe, contributing to $5.9 million in live tournament winnings across his career. Still seeking his first career WSOP bracelet, Hallaert’s first title won in the United States could be the biggest one of them all. Leonor Margets (Barcelona, Spain) – 53,400,000 ChipsLeonor “Leo” Margets, 41, is not only the last woman standing in the 2025 WSOP Main Event but is also the first woman to reach the WSOP Main Event final table since 1995. Hailing from Barcelona, Spain, Margets is not new to success at the WSOP, having won her lone bracelet in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em Closer for $376,850 in 2021. With over $2 million in live tournament winnings, Margets looks to not only add $10 million to her career total but also become the first woman to ever win the WSOP Main Event. Luka Bojovic (Vienna, Austria) – 51,000,000 ChipsLuka Bojovic, 37, is a Serbian doctor and poker player residing in Vienna, Austria. A member of the Pokercode collective, Bojovic’s largest career score of $134,617 came from his eighth place finish in the 2024 WSOP Europe Main Event, contributing to his live tournament career winnings total of over $700 thousand. Winning his lone piece of WSOP hardware by taking down the Monster Stack event at the 2024 WSOP International Circuit series in Marrakech ($45,600), Bojovic is in contention to win the most prestigious poker trophy of them all. Adam Hendrix (Arlington, Virginia, United States) – 48,000,000 ChipsAdam Hendrix, 32, is a professional poker player from Anchorage, Alaska, who is a familiar face on the pro tournament circuit. A member of the PokerCoaching.com pro team, much of Hendrix’s over $8 million in live tournament winnings come from wins in tournaments on the PokerGO Tour as well as plenty of deep runs in WSOP events. With six live WSOP final table appearances and a win in the recent $3,300 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller at the 2025 WSOP Circuit series at the Las Vegas Horseshoe, Hendrix has long been due for his first-career bracelet win and looks to find it in the 2025 WSOP Main Event. Daehyung Lee (Seoul, South Korea) – 34,900,000 ChipsDaehyung Lee, 46, is a Korean poker player with cashes across the globe, resulting in over $148 thousand in live tournament winnings. Not only has Lee far-surpassed his highest career cash of $34,240 but has the opportunity of being the first-ever Korean to win the WSOP Main Event. Jarod Minghini (Lake Tahoe, Nevada, United States) – 23,600,000 ChipsJarod Minghini, 37, is a poker tournament grinder based out of Lake Tahoe, Nevada. A five-time WSOP Circuit ring winner who won the $1,700 WSOP Circuit Main Event at Harveys (now Caesars Republic) Lake Tahoe in 2022 for $153,368, with over $900 thousand in live tournament winnings, Minghini seeks to add $10 million to his career total and a Main Event bracelet to his WSOP jewelry box. # # # About World Series of Poker:The World Series of Poker® is the largest, richest and most prestigious gaming event and poker brand in the world, having awarded more than $4 billion in prize money over the past six decades.
