Defending Champ Jonathan Tamayo Wins Lucky Flip for WSOP Main Event Seat

Lyle Bateman

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

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.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

There was a raise to 19,000 from under the gun and Sean Winter three-bet to 150,000, leaving just a few chips behind. Sergio Fernandez four-bet shoved all in on the button and the action folded back to Winter who called.

Sean Winter: A♦Q♥ All in
Sergio Fernandez: J♥J♦

Fernandez looked to his right at Winter as the cards came out and Winter agreed to announce the cards. "Four, four, deuce," Winter said as the 4♥4♦2♦ flop hit the felt.

"Queen," he continued in a very monotone voice which got Fernandez to whip his head around and find out that it was the 10♥ on the turn. The river was the 6♦ and Fernandez held on to eliminate Winter just before the dinner break.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

A completed board of 8♠8♥5♦6♦7♣ was spread across the table with around 75,000 in the middle and three players still in the hand. Alexandros Kolonias led out with a bet of 68,000 from the small blind and Ioannis Angelou Konstas called in the big blind.

Lily Kiletto gave it some thought in the cutoff and eventually called as well. Kolonias turned over A♠2♠ which was going to be no good. Konstas tabled 9♦3♦ for a straight and Kiletto sent her cards flying into the muck.
