Rami Hammoud

Best live cash: $123K for winning the $820 NLH Playground March Million Main Event 2023

An experienced recreational player from Montreal and a regular at Playground Poker Club. He has been playing tournaments since 2012.

Before this Main Event run, Hammoud worked at Voldex, a gaming company involved with Roblox, Fortnite Creative, and Minecraft. He left his job on June 19 and was scheduled to start a new one on July 20.

Jamie Shaevel

Age: 39
Live tournament earnings: $451K
Best live cash: $55K for finishing 100th in the $10K WSOP Main Event 2011

A recreational player and owner of an LED lighting manufacturing company. Primarily a cash game specialist and regular at The Commerce Casino in Los Angeles, he has been playing poker since 2009.

Shaevel rarely plays tournaments but always believed the slow structure of the WSOP Main Event suited his game. This is his eighth Main Event cash:

Greg “FBT” Mueller

Age: 55
Live tournament earnings: $3.5M
Best live cash: $460K for winning the $10K World Championship Limit Hold’em 2009

A retired professional hockey player, three-time WSOP bracelet winner, and one of the old-school poker veterans. He is the only player at the final table with a Wikipedia page.

Mueller has been playing poker since the Full Tilt Poker era, where he was known by the nickname FBT (Full Blown Tilt).

In an interview, he said he had no plans to study or prepare strategically before the final table. Instead, his only goal was to lose 10 kilograms over the 20-day break so he’d look good on the televised broadcast.

He also admitted that he had grown tired of poker and was ready to retire, but this deep run in the Main Event reignited his passion for tournament poker.

Michael “Gags30” Gagliano

Age: 41
Live tournament earnings: $2.3M
Best live cash: $448.5K for winning the $2.5K NLHE WSOP 2016

A poker pro, BetMGM ambassador, and four-time WSOP bracelet winner, with three of those bracelets coming online.

He has made his living playing poker since 2009. He began as a Sit & Go grinder before transitioning to MTTs and has coached players since 2010. One of the most skilled final table WSOP 2026 players.

Mario Boos

Age: 32
Live tournament earnings: $240K
Best live cash: $55K for finishing sixth in the €380 IPS Main Event Rozvadov 2025

A regular in tournaments with buy-ins of up to $500 and one of the dark horses at the final table. This is his first WSOP Main Event.

At the unofficial final table, Boos doubled up with pocket tens against Han Feng’s A-K. He spent a long time considering whether to fold before deciding he was playing to win and could ignore the $250K pay jump. The gamble paid off.

Lauri Saaskilahti

Age: 39
Live tournament earnings: $138K
Best live cash: $83K for finishing 14th in the €5K EPT Barcelona Main Event 2025

Saaskilahti has already made history. No Finnish player has ever advanced this far in the WSOP Main Event.

A recreational player who lives in Spain, he has recorded eight of his nine career live cashes there.

During this Main Event, he survived with ace-high against Brock Wilson’s pocket kings after hitting an ace on the river, despite being down to just three outs.

Han Feng

Age: 27
Live tournament earnings: $2M
Best live cash: $160K for winning the $1.5K NLHE Main Event Champions Club Fall Poker Open, Houston 2024

A poker pro from San Antonio, Texas. He is the only finalist who has topped a Global Poker Index leaderboard, earning 2024 GPI Mid-Major Player of the Year honors.

Feng thought his tournament was over during the penultimate day when the field went on dinner break and he was the shortest stack. Instead, he doubled through Adam Trainor and stayed alive.

Making the final table also changed his post-WSOP plans. He had intended to spend the rest of the year in Europe, playing poker while traveling.

Evagoras Evagorou

Age: 48
Live tournament earnings: $253K
Best live cash: $45K for finishing sixth in the $3K Main Event Merit Poker Retro Series, Kyrenia 2022

A recreational player who has been playing poker since 2009. This was his first WSOP Main Event and another dark horse at the final table.
