John Wasnock is an American poker player who made it to the final table of the 2025 WSOP Main Event and finished runner-up for $6,000,000.
“I’ve had a pretty good run the last year," Wasnock told PokerNews. "I live in Seattle. There’s not a lot of big action, you know, tournaments. So I play tournaments when I come down. I’ve been playing some of the smaller events in the World Series the last ten years or so. I played in the Main Event once, ten years ago. That was kind of a bucket list.”
John Wasnock Poker Background
With just $143,000 in live earnings heading into the WSOP Main Event, and just two WSOP cashes to his name, his 2025 WSOP Main Event run was a traditional Cinderella story. Before his $6 million prize, he had just two WSOP cashes to his name, the best of which came in 2024 when he finished 29th in the $600 Ultra Stack for $11,140.
