Daniel Weinman, you have reached poker immortality.
He’s the winner of the 2023 World Series of Poker Main Event, which means a huge prize — $12.1 million, to be exact — plus the bracelet and a lifetime of bragging rights.
Weinman was part of a hand earlier in the tournament that was SO dramatic and led him to the final table. And while facing Steven Jones heads up, he was involved in a final dramatic hand.
Jones raised to 7 million with Jack-8 offsuit, while Weinman called with King-Jack.
Guess what landed on the flop? A Jack. Jones knew top pair was a good call … but he didn’t know Weinman also had a Jack and a better hand. Weinman checked, Jones bet 6 million, and Weinman raised. You can see Jones trying to figure him out and he calls. A 4 comes on the turn and maybe Jones thinks a Weinman straight is a possibility. Weinman bets 38 million … and Jones raises all in.
Weinman calls! An Ace on the river helps no one! AND THAT’S IT! GAME OVER!

In the final hand, Weinman and Steven Jones both flop top pair, and when Jones moves in on the turn, Weinman calls.
