The 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) delivered historic moments and unforgettable performances. Among hundreds of events and thousands of players, three names stood out above the rest: Michael Mizrachi, João Vieira, and Seth Davies. They didn’t just win bracelets—they walked away with life-changing payouts that defined their careers. Let’s take a closer look at who they are and how they conquered Las Vegas this summer.
João Vieira – $100,000 High Roller Champion
Prize: $2,649,158
Portuguese pro João Vieira once again proved why he’s among the elite by taking down the $100,000 High Roller event. Widely regarded as one of the most technically skilled players on the circuit, Vieira dominated a field stacked with poker’s best.
The win earned him his second WSOP bracelet and nearly $2.65 million, solidifying his place as one of the most respected players in both the European and global poker scenes. João continues to show that a combination of discipline, preparation, and calculated aggression can triumph even in the toughest arenas.
Seth Davies – $250,000 Super High Roller Champion
Prize: $4,752,551
American standout Seth Davies captured his first WSOP bracelet in spectacular fashion, winning Event #46: $250,000 Super High Roller No-Limit Hold’em and taking home a massive $4,752,551—the largest single payout of the 2025 series.
Davies outlasted an exclusive field of 63 entries, which generated a prize pool of $15,584,625, with only the top ten making the money. His win came in an express heads-up match against Alex Foxen, ending in just two hands: the first saw Davies shift momentum with a surprising jack, and the second sealed the deal with pocket aces.
Coming into the event in peak form, Davies’s win pushed his 2025 live earnings past $12 million, bringing his career total over $44 million. Known for his consistency in the high roller scene, this victory added a long-awaited bracelet to his already elite resume.
Michael Mizrachi – Main Event Champion
Prize: $10,000,000
Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi added a legendary chapter to his storied career by winning the 2025 WSOP Main Event, the most iconic poker tournament in the world. With nerves of steel and his signature aggressive style, Mizrachi outlasted thousands of players to claim $10 million and his first Main Event bracelet, the most coveted trophy in poker.
Already a fan favorite for his multiple Poker Players Championship titles, Mizrachi once again showed why he belongs among the game’s greatest. This win cements his legacy as a true icon in the poker world.
The 2025 WSOP made it clear: poker continues to evolve, but the biggest names still find a way to shine.
