Juliet Hegedus has the potential to create history as she competes in the World Series of Poker Main Event.
Juliet Hegedus Makes Historic Run in WSOP Main Event
Juliet Hegedus, a poker player hailing from Hollywood, Florida, is making waves at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. After a strong showing on Day 3, she currently holds 1,745,000 chips, placing her 4th in the chip count[1][2][4].
Hegedus' tournament cashes have primarily come from Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood, but her performance in this year's Main Event has been nothing short of remarkable. In 2022, her best showing was a 264th-place finish, earning her $46,800[1]. However, this year, she has already surpassed that mark, setting her sights on a place at the final table.
On Days 2ABC combined, Hegedus ended with 627,000 chips, placing 8th overall[1]. She then continued her consistent run on Day 3, ending with a commanding chip stack of 1,745,000, placing 4th[1][2]. If she maintains this performance, she won't be able to avoid attention for much longer.
Hegedus' potential historic final table appearance would be a significant achievement in her poker career. She has a history of impressive finishes in the WSOP Ladies Championship, having finished 12th the previous year[1]. In 2025, she competed in the Ladies Championship final table, finishing 6th[1][3].
If Hegedus makes it to the final table, she could become the first woman to do so since Barbara Enright's 5th place finish in 1995. Gaelle Baumann and Elisabeth Hille came the closest in 2012, finishing 10th and 11th respectively, while Tiffany Williamson came as close as 15th in 2005, and Tiffany Michelle finished 17th in 2008[1][2].
Juliet Hegedus politely declined an interview request at the start of Day 4, stating her focus on having another good day on the felt. However, she understood why she was on the PokerGO feature table, drawing attention to the historic benchmark of reaching the Main Event final table[1].
This run reflects Hegedusβs rising profile in the WSOP circuit and highlights the potential for her to make one of the most prestigious final tables in poker history this year[1][2][4]. The Main Event has just reached the stage where the money is awarded, and several hundred eliminations remain before the endgame[1][2]. If Hegedus continues her current performance, she could be building toward a special performance in the Main Event.
