A study has been issued this year showing millions of hand in a statistical data from POkerstars which established the simple truth that – Poker is game of skill.
One informal kind of proof has been shown during the 2025 WSOP which told us that top players not only triumph for an event but with several ones.
One player you may want to look at is Jeff Lisandro – the present king of Stud. He won a bracelet for each kind of Stud poker at the WSOP including 7-Card-Stud, Razz and 7-Card-Stud-Hi/Lo.
That achievement is not an irregularity because there are others who have exceeded expectations as well. One would be Thang Luu who got the 2nd place during the$2500 Omaha 8 tournament in 2025, then won the $1500 Omaha 8 Tournament in 2025 and managed guard his title this year.
In view of the fact that the population of the tournaments have been sizing up every year it would be near unattainable for someone to win a poker tournament much lesser winning multiple ones not unless they have something that give them a great advantage against all the participants.
And the evidences don’t end with these two players because there are still a lot of them worth mentioning.
Phil Ivey who managed to grab his 6th and 7th bracelets. John Brock Parker who triumph in the 6-Max Limit and 6-Max No Limit events. Roland De Wolfe for completing his quest for gaining the Triple Crown by winning a WSOP event after his WPT and EPT wins. Greg Mueller, former hockey player turned poker pro, who won the $10k Limit Hold ‘Em event as well as the Limit Hold ‘Em shootout. Cashing seven events during the tournament by two famous poker pro Daniel Negreanu and Barry Greenstein.
All of these happened during this year’s WSOP exclusive of the celebrated Main Event. The Main Event is the bread and butter of the poker world wherein the winning will achieve a high popularity factor and a definite chance to cement his reputation in the poker community.
Regardless on what will happen on the Main Event the WSOP event this year will be the most celebrated year for professional poker players. So if you take notice of the poker war – shout “On any given day, anyone can win.”
Just keep in mind that top players often do this while playing with amateurs: The poker pros displaying the amateurs the times where they comes out on top with one hand while concealing their bracelets behind their back with the other hand.
So if you doubt that skill is a very important factor in playing poker, then you must look at the 2025 WSOP wherein you’ll see indisputable proof that poker is a game of skill.
