At 22, Lucas Jumalon held the chip lead of the 2026 WSOP Main Event from hand one to the last river — outlasting 9,208 players. Now Ambassador Lucas is ready to teach the fundamentals across the globe.


Lucas was eight years old at a Spokane dining room table. Fourteen years later he won the WSOP Main Event for $10,000,000.
4th-largest field ever. Second-youngest champion of all time. 17 hands to close it out heads-up. This isn't recycled — every drill starts with POKER 101.
Fold more hands than feels right. The biggest leak for every new player is playing too many of them.
Four fundamentals, taught by the 2026 World Champion. Start where he started.
Spokane home games to World Champion. Terrified — and fearless anyway.
Live virtual classes, twice a week. Camera on, seats capped, replays yours to keep.
What beats what, and why the nuts matter more than the pair in your hand.
Acting last is the cheapest edge in poker. Learn to open tight early, wide late.
The one piece of math you actually need at the table, in under ten minutes.
Why the amount you bet says more than the cards you hold.
It started at the dining room table in Spokane, age eight, playing with his dad's friends. Home games, then Lilac Lanes Bowling & Casino, then a coach and a study routine. A business and data analytics degree gave him the quantitative half — ranges, probability, opponent tendencies. On August 5, 2026 it produced a wire-to-wire world championship.
"I was terrified. Channeling Mike Tyson — he used to say he was terrified he was going to die in the ring before he'd go out and fight. I just channeled some of that and was pretty fearless today."
— Lucas Jumalon, after the win
He took the lead with 13 players left and never gave it back — tightening and opening up before anyone could pin a range on him.
Coaches point to his read on preflop domination — when to two-bet, when to three-bet, and who folds to it.
Friends say they've seen him grin once or twice across an entire run. He never breaks character at the table.
A river diamond briefly threatened his lead heads-up. He shrugged it off and closed the tournament in 17 hands.
"Lucas cut my leaks in half in a weekend. The preflop chart alone paid for the Boot Camp."
"POKER 101 didn't talk down to me. Three modules in and I finally understand pot odds without a calculator."
"The postflop replayer in the simulator is basically homework you actually want to do."

Black six-panel cap, gold embroidered wordmark, and a diamond-cut replica of the WSOP 2026 Main Event bracelet across the brim. Only 500 pieces — each one numbered and signed by Lucas.
