Jesse Lonis was spotted in the field for Event #17, sitting on a healthy 80,000-chip stack. He was also seen competing in WSOP Online Bracelet Event #4. Lonis famously won a WSOP Circuit ring while attending a rap battle, showcasing his ability to thrive in unexpected circumstances. With his skills, he's more than capable of winning two bracelets in a single day and will be hoping to multitask late into the night.

Benjamin Underwood, dubbed the “Deep Stack King” at last year’s World Series of Poker, is back in Las Vegas and ready to make another strong run. The Canadian standout earned that nickname after scoring three top-five finishes in three live Deepstack events, earning Player of the Week honors along the way.
While he’s still chasing his first WSOP bracelet, Underwood already boasts over $1 million in live tournament earnings, according to Hendon Mob. His favorite events are Limit Hold’em, where his strategic edge often shines through.
Off the felt, Underwood enjoys one of Las Vegas’s most popular attractions: its vibrant food scene. His top pick? STK at the Cosmopolitan—a favorite stop when he’s not stacking chips at the tables.

Andy Tsai is set to play most of the World Series of Poker this summer and is particularly looking forward to Event #20: $1,500 SHOOTOUT No-Limit Hold'em. To stay sharp and focused, Tsai begins each day with a workout routine that includes intense walking—a ritual that helps get his mindset in the right place before hitting the tables.
He’s still reflecting on a tough elimination from Event #13: $1,500 6-Handed No-Limit Hold’em, where he was coolered in a brutal spot: trips over trips, with his queen kicker falling just short of his opponent’s king. Despite the setback, Tsai remains determined and optimistic, hoping to notch some deep runs this year and make his team proud.
