WSOP Expands to Panama as Vallinas Nears First Bracelet

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is making waves in 2025 with the official inclusion of Panama as a stop on its circuit. This marks a strategic move to strengthen its presence in Latin America, where a new generation of talented players is ready to shine on the global stage.

Among those making headlines is Jon Ander Vallinas, who recently secured an impressive 5th-place finish at a major event, earning $127,841 and coming heartbreakingly close to capturing his first bracelet.

These parallel developments — global expansion and rising stars — reaffirm the WSOP’s unmatched influence in the world of professional poker.
