The 2025 Chainsaw Mixed Series of Poker wrapped up inside Planet Hollywood after twelve events, a packed schedule of rotating formats and one of the strongest mixed game atmospheres Las Vegas has seen all year. The series finished with 815 total entries and $497,630 paid out across all tournaments, driven by consistent turnouts from locals, traveling pros and mixed game regulars.

No player shined brighter than Ted Jackson-Spivack, who secured the CMSOP Player of the Series title after a dominant final stretch. The English mixed game specialist took the series lead with three events remaining and never let it go, ultimately earning three titles, five cashes and $48,337 in total winnings. His three victories came in the $600 Limit T.O.R.S.E., the $1,100 Omaha 8 or Better Championship and the $1,100 T.O.R.S.E. Championship. Jackson-Spivack also finished with the most cashes, tied with both Thomas Taylor and Adam Walter, who each recorded five.

Taylor finished fifth overall and produced one of the most consistent series performances with four final tables, while Stephen Godfrey, winner of two early CMSOP titles, held on to second place. Nicholas Pupillo climbed to third on the strength of four final tables. Damjan Radanov came fourth after capturing the $1,100 H.O.R.S.E. title and third-place in the T.O.R.S.E. Championship.
