Seat 1: Leo Margets – 53,400,000 chips

Leo Margets is an experienced pro from Barcelona, Spain, who entered this event with more than $2,000,000 in live tournament winnings. She also works as a podcast host and poker coach. She becomes the first woman to make the WSOP Main Event final table since Barbara Enright accomplished the feat in 1995.

Another bullet point for Margets' career came a year later, when the 41-year-old scored a win in the Full Tilt Masters Series Lloret de Mar event for $132,237. When not playing or hosting the "Wild Project" podcast, some of Margets’s interests include sports, cats, and writing. With master’s degrees in management and communications, the poker and podcasting careers have allowed Margets to put those to good use after also working in sports management.

Seat 2: Kenny Hallaert – 80,500,000 chips

Originally from Belgium and now living in London, England, Kenny Hallaert is a longtime poker player and has been working as a tournament director as well since 2005. He came into this event with more than $5,900,000 in live tournament winnings, which included finishing sixth in the WSOP Main Event in 2016 for $1,464,258. He also has deep runs in One Drop events, finishing 10th in the 2017 WSOP Europe €111,111 event for $343,923 and ninth in the 2023 World Poker Tour $10,000 tournament for $257,600.

At the WSOP, this marks Hallaert's 128th cash, sixth final table appearance, and he has $3,200,000 in series winnings. The 43-year-old former electrician got into poker in 2004 after making a bet on his favorite football club and seeing an online poker ad. He clicked on the ad and hasn’t looked back.

Since 2022, Hallaert has been a live events advisor for PokerStars. When not at the table or directing a tournament, Hallaert enjoys fine dining, traveling, and sports, which include Formula 1, supporting Club Brugge Belgian football, and cycling.

Seat 3: Braxton Dunaway – 91,900,000 chips

While Braxton Dunaway may not be a full-time player, Dunaway has some nice skins on the wall. Originally from Moore, Oklahoma, the 42-year-old grew up in Midland, Texas, and works in the oil and gas industry. He has more than $1,500,000 in live tournament winnings, and the biggest chunk of that came in 2023 when he took down the WSOP Monster Stack for $1,162,681. He also finished 142nd in the 2022 WSOP Main Event for $62,500.

Dunaway got into poker by playing with friends and is now a regular at KoJack's Poker Club in Midland. Live reads are his biggest strength, according to Dunaway, and he began playing more poker after the seven-figure Monster Stack score. When not at the tables, he enjoys golf, hunting, traveling, and also competes in rodeo as a team roper. Like many in Texas, Dunaway is a huge football fan—including following the Oklahoma Sooners, where his daughter attends college.

He grew up playing poker with family and then played online in the 2000s before taking the game more seriously. He played in the Main Event only one time, about 10 years ago, and has made the second run truly pay off. When not at the table, he enjoys playing golf and following Seattle’s sports teams.

Seat 5: Michael Mizrachi – 93,000,000 chips

Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi has been a force at the WSOP this summer, which included grabbing a record fourth win in the WSOP $50,000 Poker Players Championship for his seventh career bracelet and $1,331,322.

The poker pro from Miami Beach, Florida, learned the game from his older brother Robert, who has five WSOP bracelets himself. Mizrachi eventually earned the nickname "The Grinder" for how he navigated through tournament fields. Mizrachi has three children, and some of his hobbies away from poker include boxing, swimming, and general fitness. He’s also a fan of all Florida sports teams.

Seat 6: Daehyung Lee – 34,900,000 chips

Daehyung Lee from Seoul, South Korea, is a poker amateur who has only been playing since 2021.

Lee’s biggest win came this year in an Asian Poker Tour event in Taipei, where he finished 12th for $34,240. In 2024, he finished 79th in the $10,400 Wynn Summer Championship for $32,599 and also scored a 25th in a €10,300 European Poker Tour High Roller in Barcelona for $32,064.

When not playing poker, the 46-year-old enjoys reading and hopes to use some of his winnings improving the poker environment in his home country. Lee says one of his biggest strengths at the table is being able to make the same play regardless of the tournament stage.

Seat 7: Luka Bojovic – 51,000,000 chips

Originally from Nis, Serbia, Luka Bojovic may have one of the busier schedules of the final nine players remaining.

Along with playing cards, He enjoys working out and attending music festivals. He credits 10-minute meditation sessions and plenty of stretching in helping him stay focused for such a long time at the table.

Seat 8: Adam Hendrix – 48,000,000 chips

Adam Hendrix may be one of the most decorated players at the final table with more than $8,000,000 in live tournament winnings and 284 career tournament cashes.

The poker pro graduated from Virginia Tech and has a degree in economics and statistics, and spent some time working as a software engineer and programmer. He began playing poker as a kid, but that interest grew more serious while he was in college. His father worked in the oil and gas industry, and that meant traveling quite a bit. Hendrix spent time growing up in Aberdeen, Scotland, and Cairo, Egypt. When not playing, Hendrix enjoys fishing, traveling, camping, hiking, soccer, and basketball. While he may live in Virginia now, Hendrix still enjoys spending time in Alaska with family.

Seat 9: Jarod Minghini – 23,600,000 chips

Most of Jarod Minghini’s hobbies take him outdoors—snowboarding, snowmobiling, surfing, and dirtbiking—but he’s fared pretty well inside at the poker table as well.

In a record that includes 160 cashes, Minghini has $981,676 in live tournament winnings.
