Han Feng has booked his seat at the 2026 WSOP Main Event final table after a nerve-wracking stretch that saw him arrive back from the dinner break as the shortest stack remaining. Rather than panic, the Texas native said he made peace with the possibility of busting, embracing what he described as an “if I die, I die” mindset.
That resignation didn’t last long. Feng found a double-up when his king-high hand beat Lucas Jumalon’s jack-high, breathing new life into his tournament. The pivotal all-in marked the first time all tournament that Feng had shoved for his tournament life, a moment he called “pretty crazy” in reflection.
The 2024 GPI Mid-Major Player of the Year now sits eighth in chips with 25,000,000, holding roughly 17 big blinds when play resumes on August 3. He acknowledged that reaching the final table has upended his post-WSOP plans, which had included an extended trip through Europe.
Feng’s run to the final table featured a steady climb through the field, finishing Day 4 inside the top 5% of the remaining 533 players. He continued building his stack over the following days, flopping sets and extracting value before crossing into eight-figure chip counts by Day 6.
Along the way, Feng weathered setbacks, including having pocket nines cracked by Matthew Lapossie and a river ace busting his pocket sixes. But favorable outcomes followed too, with his tens holding up to eliminate Sean Winter and a Day 7 pot sending David Kluchman to the rail.
Despite briefly becoming table chip leader on Day 7, Feng’s stack dwindled before the double against Jumalon salvaged his tournament life ahead of the final table redraw.
