Aaron Barone's Remarkable WSOP Main Event Run Ends in 65th Place
Aaron Barone's impressive journey in the 2026 WSOP Main Event has come to an end, with the poker player finishing in 65th place out of 9,208 participants. Barone, known for his 'one day deeper' approach, focused on surviving each day rather than worrying about the end result. This strategy paid off as he became the last 888poker ambassador remaining in the tournament.
Barone's deep run earned him $125,000, nearly doubling his Hendon Mob cashes to $186,000. His positive attitude and strategic decisions, such as winning a key flip, helped him secure a decent position. However, after losing a major pot, he couldn't find his way back, leading to his eventual exit.
Despite the challenging end, Barone's performance was nothing short of remarkable. His 'one day deeper' approach not only helped him navigate the tournament but also set a high bar for future performances. As the 2026 WSOP docuseries concludes, fans can look forward to more exciting content from 888poker and the WSOP in the coming years.

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.
