After a week of maximum intensity, we finally know the nine finalists for the WSOP 2025 Main Event.

Only nine players remain with a chance to achieve eternal glory and claim the ten million dollars promised to the winner. Legends are back. Dark horses are ready to shine. The final table promises to be electric.

 

Nine paths, one crown

 

 

John Wasnock will enter this final table as the chip leader. The American, previously under the radar, has set the pace and built a massive stack of 108.1 million chips, giving him a comfortable lead over his challengers. However, he’ll need to stay sharp as seasoned pros aim to dethrone him.

Among them, Michael Mizrachi stands out as a WSOP icon with four Poker Players Championship titles and a Main Event final table appearance in 2010. "The Grinder" returns with 93 million chips, combining deep experience, a dominant stack, and the mindset of a champion on a mission.

Close behind, Braxton Dunaway (91.9 million) has impressed throughout the tournament with controlled aggression and bold decision-making. The American climbed steadily and now enters the endgame full of confidence.

The long-awaited return of Belgian pro Kenny Hallaert is another major storyline. A finalist in 2016 with a 6th-place finish, Hallaert is back at the top with 80.5 million chips, more seasoned, more composed, and ready to write his own legend.

The dream is very much alive for Leo Margets, team pro Winamax, the only woman at the final table. The Spaniard, who finished 27th in 2009, now returns among the last nine with 53.4 million chips. If she goes the distance, she would become the first woman since Barbara Enright in 1995 to reach a Main Event podium—or perhaps go even further.

Three more international contenders complete this world-class final. Serbian player Luka Bojovic (51 million) has remained low-key but effective and will aim to make Eastern Europe proud. Daehyung Lee, from South Korea, brings 34.9 million chips and a calm, focused table presence that has stood out since Day 5. Meanwhile, Adam Hendrix carries the banner for American consistency with 48 million and a skill set respected across the poker world.

Finally, Jarod Minghini enters the final table as the short stack with 23.6 million, but in a tournament like this, anything can happen. A well-timed double-up could be all it takes to reignite a run that has already turned heads.
