Aaron Barone's Deep Run in 2025 WSOP Main Event: 888poker's Star Shines Bright
Aaron Barone, an ambassador for 888poker, made a significant impact at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. With a field of 9,735 players, the event was one of the largest in poker history. Barone outlasted over 95% of the field, finishing in an impressive 326th place and earning $45,000 for his efforts.
Barone's journey through the Main Event was marked by several notable achievements. He managed to double his starting stack on the first day and bagged around 200k on Day 2. By the end of Day 3, his stack had grown to well over 800k. Although Day 4 was a bit swingier, Barone's performance was commendable, and he eventually busted on Day 5.
Nick Eastwood, another 888poker ambassador, also had a respectable run, busting in 1,356th place and earning $15,000. Other team members, including Lucia Navarro, Vivian Saliba, and Ian Simpson, had varying levels of success but did not make it past the bubble. Despite the mixed results, the 888poker team put up a solid showing at the 2025 WSOP.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
