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

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.

The SCOTUS Lawyer Who Won $50m Playing Poker—And Got Indicted

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

For two decades, Tom Goldstein was at the top of the legal world. He argued more cases before the United States Supreme Court than almost any private attorney and founded SCOTUSblog, a legal blog that quickly became the go-to source for Supreme Court analysis. He lectured at Stanford University and Harvard University and regularly appeared on national news programs.

But Goldstein had another life. When he wasn’t arguing before Supreme Court justices, Goldstein was flying to Hollywood or Hong Kong and winning or losing millions in ultra-high-stakes poker matches. He played heads-up against California businessmen and foreign gamblers, at one point allegedly winning over $50 million in just a few sessions.

Goldstein’s luck turned in January 2025 when the US Department of Justice a federal grand jury initiated a 22-count indictment accusing the attorney of failing to report millions in poker winnings and diverting law firm funds to pay his personal poker debts.

In a new PokerNews video essay, we take a look at the life of Tom Goldstein and the high-stakes poker game that led to his federal indictment.

In a four-way pot, the flop was 1035 when Manda Moore and Alisa Baumann checked from the blinds and Florence Mazet bet 22,000. Only Lisa Thumm made the call in the cutoff.

The turn was the J and Mazet sent 45,000 in the middle. Once again Thumm called.

The Q hit the river and both checked. Mazet tabled AJ for a pair of jacks, which was good to claim the pot as Thumm sent A10 into the pot.

"You Scare me Lisa"

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On the turn 6, Fong bet out again for 15,000, and Lee called.

The river 6 saw Fong bet again for 20,000, and Lee called again.

Lee turned over KK for the better two pair.

Shulman Takes a Big Chunk of Park's Stack

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jade Park raised to 15,000 and faced a three-bet worth 60,000 from Allyn Shulman seated on the button. It folded back to Park who tanked a minute and called.

The flop appeared AJ9 and after a check, Shulman continued for 50,000. Park replied with a shove and Shulman snap-called with a total remaining stack of 117,000:

Allyn Shulman: AA All in
Jade Park: AJ

Park had top two pair but Shulman had hit a set of aces, and the latter doubled up after Q2 completed the board.
