In the afterglow of the 2025 World Series of Poker Main Event, there remained one last event on the schedule for players to take a chance to capture glory at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. Mitchell Hynam was one of the lucky players still recovering from a deep run at the Main Event, as he was fresh off a 49th-place finish. For most that would be the highlight of their summer, but for Hynam, it was a sign of things to come.
He opted to take one last shot as he was one of the 1,935 entries in Event #100: $1,000 Super Turbo No-Limit Hold’em to help build a prize pool of $1,702,800. It was a sprint to the finish for the hopefuls, but in the closing hours of the WSOP series, it was Hynam who stood alone and won the $237,924 top prize and the gold hardware.
"It's not really set in, but it feels great, got the bracelet and another 250,000. Life's good," said Hynam, still fresh from his victory, where he defeated Nadav Bitton heads-up by flopping a set to take it down.
"It's hard to make a pair," Hynam said with a wry smile on his motivation to make the tournament-winning call.
Hynam came into the final stretch with few chips to work with. With 11 left, Hynam had a short stack of 1,575,000 in chips. He began to gain traction when he doubled up against Bitton to cross the four million in chips mark with nine players left.
Just minutes later, Hynam would again be involved in a big pot that vaulted him into the chip lead. This began a series of knock outs that put Hynam in firm control of the final table. After taking almost 40 minutes to lose the first player, it only took another 20 minutes to get from that point to heads-up.
Hynam became a wrecking ball as he knocked out the last eight players left at the final table, which began with the elimination of Alexander Duvall.
Hynam then had a nasty beat over Paulina Loeliger before going on to knockout Brett Shaffer, Lukas Hafner, Jacob Parent, Nevan Chang, and Kei Tanaka, to set up a heads-up duel against Bitton.
Hynam shared that at first, he just attempted to take one last shot to end the summer and was in a relaxed mood. Once he began to build a stack, his mood shifted.
"I didn't really care at the start, but once I got chips, I had to take it seriously," Hynam said.
Hynam's journey to WSOP glory began when he started playing the game six or seven years ago. Like many young players, he began playing at local casinos.
"And then the buy-ins just get bigger and bigger," Hynam said. "You keep going, and it always comes out right in the end, you hope."
Hope or not, Hynam can now call himself a World Series of Poker champion for the rest of his life.

Action of The Day
The final tournament of the 2025 series saw all the big names come out for one last chance to earn bracelet glory this year. Poker Hall of Famers Erik Seidel, Daniel Negreanu, and Phil Hellmuth, who played the event alongside his son, were all unable to find any traction, heading home early into the day. Huck Seed took his seat the moment cards were in the air, and following an unsuccessful first bullet, his second saw him bust moments before locking up a min-cash.
Shaun Deeb, chasing a second WSOP Player of the Year title, couldn’t get anything going with either of his two bullets, however he locked it up following the exit of his closest competition Benny Glaser and Martin Kabrhel, both of whom were unable to make the money.
Eliminations, of course, did not stop there, with the “turbo” aspect really starting to take precedent. Main event champions Hossein Ensan and Ryan Riess heading home within minutes of each other, and Jonathan Tamayo, who was the current champion at the time of his elimination, exiting also.
As play got closer to the money bubble, play began to slow down considerably, even though the number of average big blinds never broke the 20 mark. A few players who were looking to add to bracelets already won this series, such as Zdenek Zizka, Blaz Zerjav, Xixiang Luo, and Shiina Okamoto were unable to repeat that feat.
Busting out shortly before cashing, John Racener, Matt Vengrin, and Khoi Le Nguyen left with nothing, rather than a second piece of silverware for the summer.
Once it was official that the final 291 players made the money, they began to drop like flies for a second time. Joao Simao, Anson Tsang, Aram Zobian and Mike Matusow all had to settle with a min-cash. The same was true for Adam Hendrix, who was fresh off the back of a sixth-place score in the main event.
Play finally got to a redraw shortly before 10:00 p.m. with Aliaksandr Shylko and Sean Troha just missing out, and three became two at around half past. The final table was officially confirmed when Vladislav Donchev headed home in 11th.
This concludes the coverage of the $1,000 Super Turbo No-Limit Hold'em Event. Stay tuned with PokerNews for all your updates on poker stories and tournaments around the world.

: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Nadav Bitton: K♠5♣ 
Mitchell Hynam: 4♠4♦
Hynam had Bitton drawing to two exact cards as he flopped a set on 8♠4♣Q♥. The two were already up and shaking hands as the dealer completed the board with the A♣ turn and 5♦ river.

Jacob Parent went all-in for 450,000 from early position, which was less than a big blind. Nadav Bitton in the small blind completed the blind, and Mitchell Hynam checked his option in the big blind.
Bitton and Hynam checked down on the flop and turn of the board that read 5♠6♥5♥9♥.
Hynam bet 1,000,000 on the 2♦ river after he was checked to. Bitton folded.
Hynam showed 4♥3♥ for a straight, which was enough to topple Parent, who showed Q♥3♠.
Parent earned $84,733 for his finish.

Lukas Hafner went all in for his final 75,000 under the gun. Mitchell Hynam called the big blind on his direct left, and Nadav Bitton checked his option. Action checked through all the way to the river, with a board reading 2♠Q♦4♥8♠K♦. "Eight," announced Hynam, as he tabled 10♠8♥ to take the side pot against Bitton's 9♦7♦ as well main pot against the now eliminated Hafner's 6♥4♠.

After Jacob Parent was forced all-in from the big blind but managed to double up against Mitchell Hynam, it was Brett Shaffer's turn to be forced all-in for 25,000 from the big blind. Hynam in the cutoff moved all-in and made everybody fold.
Brett Shaffer: 8♥2♣
Mitchell Hynam: 8♣6♦
Shaffer luckily flopped two pair on 8♦J♦2♦9♥10♠ to triple his stack, but it wasn't enough to have more than the small blind on the next hand. He faced Hynam, who moved all-in once again from the hijack.
Brett Shaffer: J♥7♦
Mitchell Hynam: A♣9♥
Shaffer wasn't as fortunate this time and he was eliminated on 10♣10♠2♣A♠6♦.

Jacob Parent jammed for his final 400,000 from early position. Nevan Chang joined the party with an all-in for 225,000 from the button, and Nadav Bitton called to put them both at risk from the small blind.
Jacob Parent: A♥6♠
Nevan Chang: K♠K♥
Nadav Bitton: K♣2♦
Chang held the best hand heading into the flop and stayed ahead after the dealer fanned 3♥5♣Q♥.
The 10♣ did not present anything for all three players, and the 8♦ river completed the board to award Chang the triple.
Parent stayed alive with his ace high, bettering the king high of Bitton.

Level 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Mitchell Hynam, the big stack at the table, shoved from middle position, covering everyone else left to act. Paulina Loeliger, despite the player on her left having just single 25,000 chip behind, started to count out her stack, and eventually moved all in on the button. The blinds folded.
Paulina Loeliger: A♥A♣
Mitchell Hynam: 8♠4♠
In what is quite possibly the sickest way to bust a final table, Hynam rivered a flush on 9♣Q♠9♠5♦5♠ to send the Poker Bunny home, and lock up an $8,000 pay jump for the extremely short stack at the table.
