WSOP Main Event Runner-Up to Compete for $4.6 Million on Netflix Reality TV Game Show

Poker pro Steven Jones will compete for over $4.5 million on the upcoming Squid Game: The Challenge reality TV game show.

The amount he could win, albeit massive, is less than the $6.5 million he secured for finishing second to Daniel Weinman in the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. But the challenge to get that money will likely be just as difficult as outlasting all but one of 10,043 entrants in a poker tournament.
