2025 World Series of Poker
The 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) was the 56th annual edition of the World Series of Poker, a festival of poker tournaments. It was held from May 27 – July 16 at Paris Las Vegas and Horseshoe Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada.
There were 100 bracelet events. New tournament formats included the Battle of the Ages event, where players aged 50 and older play one starting flight and those younger play the other before combining on Day 2. There was also a T.O.R.S.E. event, with 2-7 Triple Draw replacing Limit Hold'em in the rotation. The $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event began on July 2, with the final table taking place over two days from July 15–16.
Michael Mizrachi won the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event, earning $10,000,000 and his eighth championship bracelet; nineteen days prior he won the $50,000 Poker Players Championship. Shaun Deeb won the $100,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller event for his seventh bracelet, while also finishing runner up three times; his performance earned Player of the Year honors for a second time. Benny Glaser became the seventh player to win three bracelets in a year.
The $1,500 Millionaire Maker event ended in controversy after Jesse Yaginuma overcame a 9-1 chip deficit to defeat James Carroll. The WSOP and Nevada gaming authorities conducted an investigation into allegations of "chip dumping," whereby one player may intentionally bet large amounts without intending to win the pot, in order for another player to benefit. Yaginuma was eligible to claim a $1 million promotional prize from sweepstakes poker site ClubWPT Gold if he won a WSOP bracelet; it was theorized that Yaginuma and Carroll privately agreed to play in a manner which would guarantee Yagninuma would win and then share the additional money. Yaginuma was allowed to keep the first-place cash prize and ClubWPT Gold announced that they would pay his bonus prize; however the bracelet was not awarded and both players were banned from future events.
