WSOP Main Event final table: Han Feng eliminated after brutal bad beat

Finnish player Lauri Saaskilahti delivered a decisive bad beat that knocked Chinese competitor Han Feng out of the World Series of Poker Main Event final table, leaving Feng in fifth place with a $2.25 million prize. Saaskilahti’s straight on the river completed a dramatic hand that commentators described as “a barbaric end” to Feng’s run.

In the same final table, Canadian‑born Greg Mueller secured third place with a $3.75 million payout after a high‑risk hero call on the river. Mueller folded a pre‑flop pocket pair of Jacks and later called a massive all‑in from Saaskilahti, a move he later explained as a bluff‑catch based on pot odds. His decision earned him a spot on the WSOP podium.

The event, held in Las Vegas, highlighted the high‑stakes volatility of poker’s most prestigious tournament, with both the Finnish rail and the Canadian hero call becoming talking points among players and commentators.
