The 2021 WSOP Main Event final table will award one player a life-changing $8 million first-place prize. Only nine players remain in the hunt for the 2021 World Series of Poker Main Event’s $8 million top prize. It’s not only life-changing money that’s on the line for the players but also winning the Main Event locks up a spot in poker history.

Recent history is on Aldemir’s side when it comes to taking down the Main Event. In 2019, Hossein Ensan sat down at his final table with an impressive chip lead and ended up winning it all. In 2018, it wasn’t the case for Nick Manion and Michael Dyer who started the day […]
