Now that the dust has settled on Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi’s WSOP Main Event win, let’s recap his journey on how he navigated the field from Day 1 to the tournament’s conclusion on Day 10 just a few days ago.
There is one “player” invisibly present at every WSOP Main Event final table each year. Year after year, this “player” wins the most. Its name is Mr. Taxman. Russ Fox, a federally licensed tax professional with Clayton Financial and Tax of Las Vegas, writes an annual blog post about the tax burdens the players at the final table take on. Here is information about Mr. Taxman’s winnings at the 2025 WSOP Main Event final table.
Following the success of last year’s Winter edition, PokerStars has confirmed that its Women’s Festival will return this August — this time with a summer twist. The 2025 Women’s Summer Festival is set to run from August 12–17 at The Clermont, Charing Cross Hotel in London.
The goal remains the same: offer a dedicated space for women who want to play competitive poker in a more inclusive and accessible environment. And after last year’s turnout — the largest women’s-only event outside of Las Vegas — it’s clear there’s demand for exactly that.
Have you ever dreamt of visiting Bulgaria for a poker trip? If you have, RedStar Poker has an irresistible offer for you: a bunch of qualifiers to the Main Event of Smart Poker Tour Sunny Beach €150,000 GTD that will be held in the first week of September 2025!

Poker is coming home — to the Mediterranean. After nearly a decade away, the prestigious European Poker Tour (EPT) is returning to Malta, bringing with it high-stakes drama, unforgettable parties, and a unique blend of beach and bluff. Running from October 1 to 12, 2025, this edition of the EPT promises to deliver an experience like no other.
A small but potentially game-shaping update has arrived at PokerStars — and if you’re a cash game regular (or a fan of the old-school lobby view), you might want to take note. Starting July 15, 2025, players on the global PokerStars .COM platform can see a refreshed Cash Game Lobby that now blends two different approaches to table selection.
The main change? Seatfinder, PokerStars’ auto-seating system, is now live for a wide range of lower-stakes games. Meanwhile, traditional table and seat selection is sticking around for higher stakes. It’s a bit of a balancing act for speeding up game starts, softening the ecosystem for casual players, and still keeping the regulars happy at the deeper end of the pool.
Mizrachi will continue with a stack of 178 BB, while the other three remaining players have a combined total of just 56 BB. Here’s how Day 9 of the WSOP Main Event unfolded.

Poker has waited a long time for this moment. On Sunday night, Leo Margets did what no woman has done since 1995 — make the final table of the World Series of Poker Main Event. It’s been three decades since Barbara Enright last flew the flag for women on poker’s biggest stage, but now Margets joins her in that rare and long-overdue club.
For those who’ve followed Margets’ career, this isn’t a surprise — it’s a culmination. A seasoned pro with a WSOP bracelet and over $2 million in earnings already under her belt, the Spaniard arrived at the 2025 Main Event ready to make another deep run. What followed was a gritty, composed, and quietly powerful performance that carried her from middle-of-the-pack obscurity to the final nine.
Day 7 of the 2025 WSOP Main Event was already shaping up to be dramatic, but no one could’ve predicted the way Will Kassouf’s run would end: in a chorus of boos, surrounded by security, and escorted off the premises after a heated exit in 33rd place. The British pro, known for his notorious table talk and clock-burning theatrics, didn’t just bust — he sparked a firestorm that split the poker community down the middle.
Let’s break down how it all unfolded, from the final hand to the fallout.

There’s a long list of players who’ve come close but never quite sealed the deal at the 2025 WSOP. For Ian O’Hara, that wait is finally over.
After several deep runs, a third-place finish, and a runner-up heartbreak in previous years, O’Hara completed the climb in Event #89: $3,000 Mid-Stakes Championship, bagging his first bracelet and a career-best payday of $1,189,408. And he didn’t just win it — he beat a 3,797-entry field and overcame a nearly 2:1 chip deficit heads-up to do it.

There’s a new name joining the Triton Series roster this September — but it’s not quite what you’d expect. Known for hosting the most elite (and expensive) poker tournaments in the world, Triton Poker is expanding its reach to a whole new class of players with Triton One, a fresh mid-stakes series designed to bridge the gap between the dreamers and the nosebleeds.
Kicking off September 2 at Jeju’s Landing Casino & Resort, Triton One marks the beginning of a two-part festival in South Korea, with the Super High Roller Series following directly after. But the spotlight here is firmly on Triton One and its 12-event schedule — including a $3K opener, a pair of $20K High Rollers, and the much-anticipated $8K Main Event.
Let’s break it all down.
