This High Roller Predicted Big Things for the WSOP Super Main Event Champion
The 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) has marked another strong year for women in the game. Leo Margets reached the WSOP Main Event final table in Las Vegas, while Natasha Mercier secured a second-place finish at the WSOP Super Main Event. Meanwhile, Bernhard Binder claimed victory in the high-stakes tournament, taking home $10 million and his first bracelet.
The WSOP Super Main Event at WSOP Paradise drew global attention with a record-breaking $60 million guarantee. The final prize pool swelled to $72,275,000, making it one of the richest tournaments in poker history.
Natasha Mercier’s deep run continued a trend of female success in major events. Her finish followed Leo Margets’ earlier achievement at the WSOP Main Event, showing growing representation at poker’s highest level. However, Mercier ultimately exited before the final showdown, alongside players like Franco Spitale and Peter Chien. Bernhard Binder entered the tournament with a modest poker résumé—his previous largest cash was just $64,500. Yet, he outlasted the competition to win the title. Mario Mosbock, a fellow player, had even predicted Binder’s success before the event began. His victory now cements his place among poker’s elite, with a $10 million payday and a coveted WSOP bracelet.
The 2025 WSOP Super Main Event has reinforced poker’s growing diversity and record-breaking prize pools. Binder’s win highlights how under-the-radar players can dominate the game’s biggest stages. Meanwhile, the back-to-back final table appearances by women signal a shift in the sport’s competitive landscape.
