Biography

Daniel Weinman is an American poker player and the 2023 World Series of Poker Main Event champion. He is both a WPT Champions Club member and a WSOP bracelet winner.

With over $16.2 million in career earnings, Weinman has career cashes dating back to 2010. Having won titles in Spain and Australia during the early 2010s, Weinman won the 2015 WSOP Circuit Cherokee Main Event for over $280,000.

Two years later, he joined the WPT Champions Club with victory in the 2017 WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open for $892,433.

He would go on to win the WPT Tournament of Champions for $381,500.

In 2022, he added a WSOP bracelet to his collection. He won Event #30: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha for $255,359.

At the 2023 Main Event, the then-largest in history (10,043 entries), Weinman took down the bracelet for a record $12.1 million.

Weinman's Run to the World Championship

Weinman, a Georgia Tech University graduate from Atlanta, was already an accomplished poker pro prior to the start of the 2023 WSOP Main Event. He had more than $3.5 million in cashes at the time and was already a bracelet winner and WPT champion.

The world champion had quite an impressive run to the 2023 WSOP Main Event title, and his run will forever be remembered by a two-outer on Day 8 that kept him alive. Against his pal Joshua Payne, in a hand with pocket jacks, he was up against pocket queens and Payne's pocket kings. A jack hit on the turn, giving Weinman a crucial massive pot that eliminated Payne in 14th place.

But it wasn't all luck for the poker pro from the "Dirty South." He played sound poker at the final table and throughout the tournament to capture the largest WSOP Main Event in history — 10,043 entries — along with the biggest prize in the tournament's 54-year history ($12.1 million).
