Reigning World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event champion Jonathan Tamayo flipped his way into this year's championship event, meaning he won't even have to put up the $10,000 buy-in to defend his title.
Tamayo announced on Sunday that he won a WSOP Online $160 All-In Flipament, a flip-and-go-style event that puts players all-in blind and that needs 64 players to run, according to Kevin Mathers.
Tamayo demonstrated his luck a year ago when he navigated the largest WSOP Main Event field in history to win $10 million. The longtime poker pro from Texas proved luck is still on his side in 2025.
"I won the 3pm one it seems," Tamayo wrote on X.

Tetsuma Ishizu raised to 94,000 preflop, leaving himself only 10,000 behind. Iulian Blebea made the call.
Blebea bet 10,000 in the dark before the 3♠8♠6♥ scrolled acrosss. Ishizu mulled it over but eventually flicked in his last two chips.

Iulian Blebea: A♣K♠
The turn slammed the door on Ishizu as the K♣ snapped off, making the 4♣ a pure formality. Blebea moved even further up in the counts.

In a blind-on-blind matchup — a chop not allowed — Woody Christy fired first with 105,000 chips. David Rasmussen thought about it for a minute, then went all in. Christy called.
David Rasmussen: 8♠8♣
Woody Christy: K♥5♣
Not that he needed much help as the favorite going into the flop, but Rasmussen got plenty from the runout of Q♣8♥A♥8♦2♦, landing quads on the turn to double up.
