The final nine players of the World Series of Poker Main Event will return to the Horseshoe at 1:30 p.m. PT to play down to the last four. They will then meet tomorrow for the final battle. Each are already guaranteed $1 million, but are only eight spots away from the biggest prize in poker — $10 million.
Jason Wasnock — 68 big blinds

Michael Mizrachi — 58 big blinds
The man known as the “Grinder” hasn’t been doing much grinding lately, but is having a summer that he’ll never forget. After not playing poker for a year, he jumped into the $50,000 WSOP Players Championship and won it for a record fourth time. The 44 year-old went over the $20 million mark with the million he already won in the Main Event, and although he was left off this years shortlist for the Poker Hall of Fame, it would be a poker crime if wasn’t considered next year. At one point this weekend, he was down to two big blinds, but sits with 93,000,000 in chips. He lives in Las Vegas.
Braxton Dunaway — 57 big blinds
Braxton Dunaway, 42, describes himself as a family man who works in the oil and gas industry in Midland, Texas. He is one of four players at the final table with a WSOP bracelet he earned by winning the $1,500 Monster Stack event in 2023 for $1,162,681 which counts as most of his $1.5 million lifetime earnings. He has 91,900,000.
Kenny Hallaert — 50 big blinds
Kenny Hallaert, 43, is a London, UK, resident and the only player who has been here before, finishing sixth in the 2016 Main Event for a career-best cash of $1,464,258.

Leo Margets — 33 big blinds
Leo Margets, 42, made history this year by becoming the first woman to make the final table in 30 years. The marathon runner from Barcelona won the 2021 WSOP $1,500 Closer for $376,850 in 2021. With the $1 million she’s guaranteed to take from the Main Event, she pushed her lifetime winnings over the $3 million mark. She also won a reality TV show in Spain. She has 53,400,000. By the way, Leo is short for Leonora.

Daehyung Lee — 22 big blinds
Daehyung Lee is a 46 year-old poker player whose best cash up to this point in his career is $32,240. According to the Hendon Mob, Lee has no cashes before March of 2024, but since then has racked up a total of $148,109. Add another $1 million to that and that’s a nice pile of cash. He’s looking to become the first player from South Korea to win the Main Event. He has 34,900,000.
Jarod Minghini — 15 big blinds
Jarod Minghini is a WSOP Circuit ring winner (2022) with just under $1 million in tournament cashes to his name. He’s 37 and is from Lake Tahoe. His largest cash up to this point was for a third-place finish in a $1,700 WSOP Circuit Main Event in North Carolina for $162,276. A third place finish tomorrow would mean a $4 million payday.
