The first-ever WSOP Solana Showdown was held on Tuesday alongside the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event final table festivities. At 11 a.m. local time, nine players from the crypto world descended upon the final table set to compete for a custom-made bracelet and a $100,000 prize pool.
One-by-one, the crypto influencers and superstars fell in what was a fast-paced, action-packed turbo sit-and-go tournament. Ultimately, it was Rasmr, a noted live streamer and trader who offers insights on capital markets and the future of culture, who emerged victorious to claim the title, the $50,000 top prize, and a trip to the Bahamas for December’s WSOP Paradise.
"I really wanted to win bad," Rasmr told PokerNews after the victory. "I'm telling myself, 'I'm going to do it.' I just thought at some point I'm gonna get rugged and it's just gonna be over. Once I got to the final three, I was happy, but then you get to the final two and it's intense."
Rasmr was on the ropes early in the tournament, but secured a double to get back into it and ultimately win. It was his first taste of serious tournament poker success, with his prior poker experience being limited to cash games and home games. Even so, that limited experience gave him a leg up on others who had never played before.
"I told everybody beforehand I was an idiot," Rasmr said with a smirk. "We played a practice game, and I was like, 'Oh, what are the rules?' I was kind of psyopping them. You'll see that on the vlog. I just wanted people to underestimate me. I feel like people underestimate me in trading as well and I've been hitting trades, and now I was able to control the narrative this time."

The action, which was live-streamed on Solana’s X and YouTube channels, was unwavering right out of the gate. What's more, players were guided by 2006 WSOP Main Event champ Jamie Gold, who was in attendance to serve as a coach of sorts. Check out the full replay below:
Early on, AshleyDCan dropped from the 100,000 starting stack down to just 6,000 , but then built it back up to nearly 200,000!
However, her comeback was halted when she lost a flip for a big pot, and then the last of her chips in a three-way showdown against Bangerz and Banks. Even though she was the first to go, AshleyDCan didn’t leave empty-handed, as even the ninth-place finisher walked away with $2,500.
King Solomon was the next to fall after his flopped top pair of queens was outdrawn by two opponents, who both rivered an ace, and then Banks fell when his queen-four fell to the eight-six of Ansem when a snowman appeared on the flop.
Wendy O bowed out in sixth place after getting it in on the flop with a pocket pair of nines against Ansem, who had a heart flush draw. Ansem missed the flush draw, but he rivered a pair of tens to score the knockout.
From there, Bangerz busted after losing ace-seven to the queen-ten of MinhxDynasty, who rivered a straight, and Ansem followed her out the door when his nine-five failed to get there against the ace-four suited of Rasmr.
The final three players were guaranteed at least $10,000 in prize money, and that is when Gabriel Haines got his short stack all in preflop with ten-four and fell to the queen-nine of Rasmr, who entered heads-up play with a slight chip lead against MinhxDynasty.
Things went south for Rasmr early, and with the blinds at a staggering 40,000/80,000 and only 11 bigs in play, Rasmr was down to 282,000 before jamming the button with seven-deuce suited. MinhxDynasty called with king-queen of the same suit, but a seven on the turn saved Rasmr.
Not long after, Rasmr jammed with queen-ten, and MinhxDynasty called off with ace-eight. A queen hit the flop, and MinhxDynasty had to settle for second place and $25,000 in prize money.
