Main Event Runner-Up John Wasnock Back in WSOP Action
Four months after his life-changing run to second place in the 2025 WSOP Main Event for $6 million, John Wasnock is in action here at WSOP Paradise, after winning his first-ever WSOP Circuit Ring. The win came during a day off at the NAPT Main Event, where the newly retired investment consultant spontaneously played a $215 online WSOP Circuit event.
Wasnock, who quit his job and is now traveling to play poker full-time, took down the tournament, earning a package to the WSOP Paradise festival in the Bahamas. Having embraced the unexpected celebrity and the freedom to pursue the game he loves, he's back in live WSOP action with a chance of winning a slice of the $60,000,000 guaranteed prize pool
