Jonathan Tamayo Triumphs in Largest WSOP Main Event Ever

Tamayo's journey from near-misses to a $10 million victory highlights perseverance and strategic brilliance.

Tamayo's victory comes 15 years after his first deep run in the WSOP Main Event.
He credits his win to the support of friends and former champions Joe McKeehen and Dominik Nitsche.
Tamayo made a controversial fold with pocket queens, which some criticized but ultimately led to his success.
He faced stiff competition from top online player Niklas Astedt and amateur Jordan Griff in the final stages.
Tamayo's parents, coincidentally in town, were able to witness his historic win.
