On Wednesday, GTO Wizard hosted a livestream featuring Joey Ingram and 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event fifth-place finisher Han Feng.
Together, the two took a deep dive into a number of hands that Feng played on the final table – using GTO Wizard's tools to gain a better understanding from a theoretical perspective.
Feng's run, and the $2,250,000 score that came with it, was one for the record books. Unfortunately for him, it came to an end in brutal fashion. Feng alluded to this in the opening moments of the livestream.
"We're here reliving some of the past pain," he said. "Revisiting the trauma."

'It's my regret of my life'
When play reached five-handed at the Main Event final table, Feng had two shorter stacks below him in the chip counts – amplifying the pressure. Greg Mueller, one of the two players who covered Feng, kicked off the action with a raise from the button holding 
. Feng, next to act in the small blind, peeled 
and opted to flat call the raise.
With about twenty big blinds to work with, Feng could have easily moved all-in over Mueller's raise. Instead, his call allowed Lucas Jumalon, the eventual champion, to come along from the big blind with 
.
Jumalon went on to flop a full house – extracting two big bets from Feng on the flop and turn.
"This tens hand ate at me for a while," Feng said. "I had my reasons [to call], but I think, in hindsight, those reasons weren't enough to justify the actions I was going for."
Ingram noted that the hand was a wild one, by far one of the most interesting at the final table.
"It's my regret of my life, probably," Feng told him. "It's always a jam, I think."
Feng's reasoning for the call makes a lot of sense when you listen to his explanation.
Mueller, the original raiser, had been playing tight thus far. In Feng's mind, any raise from the Canadian was likely to be a premium hand – not exactly the range you want to be up against if you decide to move all-in with pocket tens.
"I had my reasons at the time and looking back I don't agree anymore," he said. "Mueller was playing so incredibly tight. We thought he was going to be tight, but he took it magnitudes further than what we thought it would be.
"So, this RFI (raise first in) already kinda scared me. I think I never get called by a worse hand and if I [do] get called I'm just instantly dead."
There was another reason for Feng's conservative call.
Jumalon had already shown a propensity to squeeze preflop – leveraging his huge stack to pressure opponents. Feng thought that calling from the small blind could incentivize Jumalon to pounce on the dead money by 3-betting a lesser hand. If that happened, Feng could then move all-in over the top to either pick up the pot or run it against Jumalon's squeezing range.
"I tried to give Lucas what looked like a lay-up to squeeze me. I think Mueller misrepresented his stack when Lucas asked him how much was in there. Lucas asks Greg, 'How much are you playing?' and Greg overstates his stack. Maybe it was an angle, maybe he didn't know. I don't know, who knows? But that made Lucas, I think, not want to jam as much.
"In hindsight, I think it's better to just jam and take it down. If Mueller has jacks then he has jacks and we die."
