$\"Never$ Want to stay up-to-date with the WSOP this summer? PokerNews MyPlayers lets you follow your favorite players. This article recommends 10 must-follow poker stars, including Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, and Shaun Deeb.<\/em><\/span><\/p>

There are two ways to follow the World Series of Poker this summer. One is to get lost in endless tweets, chip counts, and social media debates; the other is to have your own personalized coverage tailored to your interests.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
PokerNews' MyPlayers feature lets you achieve the latter, acting like a personalized news feed designed for the players you truly care about. When a player you're following is featured, has their chip count updated, or makes it to the final table, this information appears directly in your personal feed without you having to search for it manually.<\/span><\/p>
So if you want to build your ultimate summer viewing list right away, just refer to these 10 players.<\/span><\/p>
Daniel Negreanu
$\"\"$
<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
He is undoubtedly the focal point of the live broadcast table, and GGPoker ambassador Daniel Negreanu is absolutely the best choice to be in the spotlight on the WSOP stage.<\/span><\/p>
"Poker Boy" always competes in the WSOP with the busiest schedule, and his goal this year is to participate in 40 events, including 12 events with a buy-in of $ of $25,000 or more.<\/span><\/p>
Therefore, whether he dives into mixed events or jumps into the $300 Gladiator Tournament (yes, that's one of the events he'll be playing), be sure to add him to your MyPlayers tracking list.<\/span><\/p>
Phil Hellmuth
$\"\"$
<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
Whether you love him or hate him, you'll definitely want to follow this "poker prodigy's" activities this summer. As the record holder for most gold bracelets in history, Phil Hellmuth is absolutely on your watchlist, and any tournament this BetRivers ambassador participates in is likely to make headlines.<\/span><\/p>
While Hellmuth primarily focuses on Texas Hold'em tournaments, he has also won three mixed-game gold bracelets: two in Razz and one in 2-7 three-draw. Regardless of which tournament he ultimately competes in, one can expect classic Hellmuth-style rants, and perhaps even a record-breaking 18th gold bracelet.<\/span><\/p>
Shaun Deeb
$\"\"$
<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
If you're a die-hard fan of the WSOP Player of the Year (POY) competition, then Shaun Deeb is definitely a must-have on your MyPlayers tracking list.<\/span><\/p>
Whenever any WSOP event is underway, Deeb is almost always either participating, playing multiple tables simultaneously, or preparing to join before the late registration deadline. A perennial threat to the POY title, and currently leading the pack after his stellar performance at the WSOP Europe, following Deeb is one way to ensure your news never gets boring.<\/span><\/p>
Jesse Lonis
$\"\"$
<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
Jesse Lonis has developed into one of the most threatening and consistent tournament players in the world. He combines the prerequisites of old-school style with modern high-stakes tournament strategy.<\/span><\/p>
Lonis amassed over $12 million in winnings last year, including more than a dozen WSOP titles. He won championships at both the Wynn and ARIA events last summer, so who's to say he can't snag his third WSOP bracelet, and his first since 2023?<\/span><\/p>
Michael Mizrachi
$\"\"$
<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
It wouldn't be surprising if anyone guessed that the defending WSOP Main Event and Poker Players Championship champions would appear on this list. But after Michael Mizrachi's incredible achievement in 2025, he will certainly remain in the spotlight in 2026.<\/span><\/p>
Mizrachi plays a chaotic and aggressive style, which causes his chip stack to fluctuate wildly. However, when the Hall of Famer gets hot, he can quickly climb the leaderboard, making him one of the most exciting players to follow daily.<\/span><\/p>
Martin Kabrhel
$\"\"$
<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
Martin Kabrhel is a classic "love him or hate him" type of player. For some, he'll be the first person they want to check their chip stacks or latest moves in the MyPlayers feed. For others\u2026 not so much.<\/span><\/p>
But undeniably, this leading poker provocateur, besides his endless table talk and agonizingly long deliberations, does possess talent.<\/span><\/p>
Kabrhel is expected to primarily compete in high-stakes tournaments, but he's also capable of jumping into any No-Limit Hold'em tournament during late registration. His unpredictable nature makes him a perfect fit for MyPlayers dynamics, and his tables are sure to be the focus of live coverage.<\/span><\/p>
Kristen Foxen
$\"\"$
<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
This woman, arguably the greatest female poker player of all time, certainly deserves a place on the list, right? Kristen Foxen always attracts attention wherever she competes, whether it's battling the world's best in a $25,000 buy-in tournament or recreating her deep rounds in the WSOP Main Event.<\/span><\/p>
With five gold bracelets and five GPI Female Player of the Year titles, Kristen Foxen's induction into the Poker Hall of Fame seems inevitable\u2014but would you add her to your MyPlayers tracking list?<\/span><\/p>
Phil Ivey
$\"\"$
<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
Legendary figure Phil Ivey is once again making Las Vegas his primary summer base. Since the pandemic, Ivey has accumulated more than two dozen WSOP wins, including 12 in 2024 alone, the same year he won his 11th WSOP gold bracelet.<\/span><\/p>
Ivey is considered a top contender for this year's $25,000 WSOP Dream Draft, and he continues to draw large crowds to every tournament he enters. He selectively participates in the $ $10,000 Championship and other high-stakes events, which will form the main content of your MyPlayers news feed after you join him.<\/span><\/p>
Jason Koon
$\"\"$
<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
PokerStars ambassador Jason Koon approaches poker with the mindset of an Olympic athlete, much like a professional professional. This high-stakes titan is expected to focus on top-tier tournaments, heads-up championships, and high-roller events.<\/span><\/p>
These are all events in which he has achieved success in the past, including in 2021.\u00a0<\/span> $He won his first gold bracelet in a 25K heads-up tournament, and then last year...<\/span>25<\/span>K<\/span>He won his first gold bracelet in a heads-up tournament, and then last year...<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Another high roller race has been added to the 50,000 high roller race.<\/span><\/span><\/p>$
Any deeper rounds Koon goes through will mean he'll be facing some of the best competition on the planet, and you'll definitely want to keep an eye on it all.<\/span><\/p>
Shiina Okamoto
$\"\"$
<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
Another player who is sure to attract attention is Shiina Okamoto. Winning the WSOP Women's Championship for two consecutive years means she is no longer just a rising star\u2014she is already one of the most resounding names in the poker world.<\/span><\/p>
She is also considered a strong contender for another title, which wouldn't be surprising, given that this GTO Wizard ambassador recently added another EPT Barcelona Women's title to her tally, proving she's still got it.<\/span><\/p>
