This Year’s WSOP $10K Main Event Final Table Lineup

John Wasnock (USA) – 108,000,000 Chips

Leading the field is American John Wasnock with 108,000,000 chips, good for around 20% of the total amount left in play. 

Wasnock’s stack equates to 68 big blinds, which gives him so breathing room between himself and second place. He hasn’t won a bracelet yet, but has guaranteed career-best cash of $1,000,000, and his big stack keeps him firmly in contention.

Wasnock chipped up steadily throughout the play so far, having progressed from Day 2 with a solid but not enormous stack. Since then, he’s played a consistently solid game to keep building upon his stack. He found more chips come his way as he eliminated Joey Padron on the final table bubble to take the field from ten to nine. Can he finish the job and take home the top prize?

Michael Mizrachi (USA) – 93,000,000 Chips

Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi is a man who needs little introduction. Already a bracelet winner this summer, having won the $50k PPC for $1,331,322 at the back-end of June. He is looking to add an eighth bracelet to his impressive resume, becoming the first player to win the Main Event and the PPC in the same year.

If “The Grinder” accomplishes this feat, he would be a safe bet to be inducted into the Hall of Fame next year. Mizrachi’s biggest career score came in this very event back in 2010, when he finished 5th for a score of $2,332,992. Guess what he also won in 2010? His first PPC. 

Mizrachi was almost down and out, but miraculously, his stack of three big blinds rose like a phoenix from the ashes as he scored double up after double up to soar back to take second place with a stack worth 58 big blinds. Can he go a few steps further and end the summer with a historic double?

Braxton Dunaway (USA) – 91,900,000

Braxton Dunaway is no stranger to navigating big fields to bracelet glory; in 2023, he topped an 8,317-strong field in the $1,500 Monster Stack for a score of $1,162,681.

Dunaway is a Texas native who works in the oil industry and has admitted that poker is a hobby for him. A lucrative one at that. He will certainly be looking to get some of his chips back from Mizrachi, who doubled through Dunaway twice on his comeback from short-stack to second-place.

Can Dunaway run away with it when play resumes?

Kenny Hallaert (BEL) – 80,500,000 Chips

Leading the remaining trio of Europeans is PokerStars Ambassador Kenny Hallaert. The Belgian is no stranger to the Main Event Final Table, and he made the November Nine back in 2016, where he finished in sixth place for $1,464,258.

This remains his largest career cash, and he will be looking to break his personal-best finish and score under the lights of the Horseshoe and Paris feature table.

Hallaert is a regular on the EPT Circuit as well as tours around the world. He has recorded $5,925,456 in live tournament earnings. 

Leo Margets (ESP) – 53,400,000 Chips

It has been thirty years since Barbara Enright’s historic run in 1995, since a woman made the final table of the WSOP Main Event, until now. 

Leo Margets, representing Spain and Team Winamax, comes into the final table in fifth place, which is where Enright finished when she was eliminated. Margets, of course, will be looking to best Enright’s run and go further than any woman has gone before in the Main Event.

She was almost down and out yesterday in a preflop flip with jacks versus the ace-king of Sergio Veloso. He flopped top pair top kicker, but Margets went runner-runner to make a flush to stack Veloso. 

She is guaranteed a career-best score, and her $2,086,276 in recorded earnings is set to be bolstered for her deep run. Could she be the first female winner of the Main Event, and continue her run as the last female winner of an open bracelet event? 

Luka Bojovic (SRB) – 51,000,000 Chips 

Hot on Margets’s heels, and the last of the Europeans, Luka Bojovic, comes into the final table in sixth place. Bojovic is no stranger to Main Event success either, as he finished eighth in the 2024 WSOP Europe Main Event for $134,617, which was his biggest score until making this final table. He also won a WSOP Circuit ring in Marrakech that same year.

Bojovic has amassed $700,000 in live tournament earnings so far, but that number will increase after play comes to an end and a Main Event champion is crowned. 

Adam Hendrix (USA) – 48,000,000 Chips

In seventh place is Adam Hendrix, who has amassed over $8,200,000 in live tournament earnings and is also guaranteed a career-best score no matter the result.

Hendrix has had a solid summer, racking up seven cashes in WSOP Events, plus winning a $1,100 No Limit Hold’em tournament at the Aria for $77,495 at the back-end of last month. His best score came last December in a $3,000 No Limit Hold’em tournament, again at the Wynn, for $629,000. 

Daehyung Lee (KOR) – 34,900,000 Chips

Daehyung Lee occupies eighth spot at the final table. The South Korean will be smashing his personal best score of $34,240, which came at the APT Taipei Main Event in April this year, where he finished 12th. His total live tournament earnings currently stand at $148,109.

He may be one of the shortest stacks at the table, but one double can change that very quickly, and as we know, anything can happen at the poker table. 

Jarod Minghini (USA) – 23,600,000 Chips

Last, but certainly not least, is Jarod Minghini. Minghini has amassed just shy of $1,000,000 in tournament earnings so far and is guaranteed a career-best score no matter the outcome. 

He has won five WSOP Circuit rings, with his biggest success coming in 2022, when he won the WSOPC Nevada, Lake Tahoe Main Event for $153,368. His largest cash came in December 2023, when he finished third in the WSOPC North Carolina, Cherokee Main Event for $162,276.

In 2022, his brother passed away, and he dedicated his Circuit Ring success to him. Now, three years later, Minghini still feels his presence at the felt to this day. 

That wraps up the final table lineup. Stay tuned to see who becomes imortalised in the annals of poker history as the 2025 WSOP Main Event comes to an end.
