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

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 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 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Poker's World Championship never disappoints when it comes to wild hands, and this year’s $10,000 Main Event is already living up to the reputation. From Aces over Kings just minutes into Day 1c to bracelet winner Faraz Jaka busting with seven-deuce, the action has been nonstop.

And if you were hoping for July 4th fireworks, look no further, because PokerNews reporter Stewart Morrison caught what might be one of the worst bad beats you'll see in this or any Main Event.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

“I probably played better than the last three I won. Everything went my way this tournament. I was always at the top of the leaderboard, never really got short, and probably played my best overall.”

That's what Michael Mizrachi had to say after he cruised to victory in Event #66: $50,000 Poker Players Championship.

Already sharing the record for most $50,000 Poker Players Championship victories with Brian Rast, Mizrachi now stands alone after capturing his historic fourth title on Saturday at the 2025 World Series of Poker. "The Grinder" conquered the 107-entry field, earning $1,331,322 from the $5,162,750 prize pool and further cementing his legacy as the event's most dominant force.

Samuel Doubles Through Richardson

Tim Baker

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

On a flop of A♦7♥6♠, Antonius Samuel got all of his 13,800 into the middle from the big blind, with Daemon Richardson making the call from the button to put him at risk.

Antonius Samuel: A♣J♣ All in
Daemon Richardson: A♥9♥

Both players had top pair, but Samuel had the better kicker and was in great shape to double-up and be right back in the Main Event. The rest of the board came Q♣10♦, and Samuel won the pot with the better kicker.
