Day 24 of the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas will mostly be remembered for Brian Rast staging an epic comeback to become a bracelet winner for the seventh time.
Rast, a member of Poker’s Hall of Fame, clawed his way back into contention against Andrew Yeh before defeating him in Event #50: $10,000 Razz Championship.
$10K H.O.R.S.E. Championship Reach Final 16 With Maximilian Schindler Leading
Maximilian Schindler is more used to racking up dozens of online WSOP cashes, yet here is is leading the final 16 players in Event #55: $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship. Schindler leads from Kristopher Tong (1,785,000), and Scott Seiver (1,580,000).
Seiver a seven-time bracelet winner could become only the seventh place in history to win eight or more bracelets. Returning third in chips gives Seiver every chance of doing that. After winning three bracelets in 2024, Seiver said he had a dream of winning a bracelet in every possible poker variant. A H.O.R.S.E. title is not on Seiver’s resume. Will that change in this event?
Schindler, Tong, and Seiver will have to contend with some incredible mixed game players on Day 3. Jason Mercier (910,000), Cary Katz (895,000), and John Hennigan (855,000) all return in the top half of the chip counts; Hennigan could also become an eight-time champion.
Lower down the leaderboard are such luminaries as Dylan Smith (595,000), Alex Livingston (545,000), Brad Ruben (480,000), Todd Brunson (305,000), Matt Grapenthien (280,000), Huck Seed (265,000), and Marco Johnson (260,000).
You’re in for a real mixed game treat if you tune into PokerNews’ coverage of this event from 1:00 p.m. local time on June 20.

Brett Lim Leads Final 19 in the $1K Seniors Championship
Another ten levels in Event #48: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold’em Championship were enough to cut the field to only 19 survivors, and Brett Lim (16,600,000) is the man who will lead them back into battle on the fourth and final day.
Lim has never cashed at the WSOP and regardless of where he finishes in this event, he is guaranteed a career-best score. Can he capture the $653,839 top prize and his first bracelet?
Only two of the remaining players have previously struck WSOP gold before. Adeeb Harb (8,600,000) won the $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better back in 1996, while Kevin Nathan (4,000,000) became a WSOP champion in 2006 after taking down a $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em event.
Day 4 of this 50+ extravaganza shuffles up and deals at 11:00 a.m. on June 20, and PokerNews will be on hand to bring you all of the updates right up to a champion being crowned.

Talal Shakerchi Reaches Final Five of the $25K PLO High Roller
A cool $2,292,155 and a coveted WSOP bracelet await one of the five players who remain in contention to become the champion of Event #51: $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha. The penultimate day ended when 11-time bracelet winner Phil Ivey busted in sixth after committing his stack with a set of fours only to lose to Michael Duek’s flush on the river.
Duek (14,700,000) will now return second in chips on the final day and with every chance of becoming a WSOP bracelet winner.
Dennis Weiss (28,450,000), winner of the €5,000 PLO event a the 2024 WSOP Europe festival, is the man to catch on the final day. He’s joined by Talal Shakerchi (12,300,000) in third, Evan Krentzman (11,350,000) in fourth, and Jeffrey Hakim (6,550,000) bringing up the rear.
Shakerchi has won most things in poker that are worth winning, but a bracelet has eluded him. Perhaps that will change when play resumes at 2:00 p.m. local under the watchful eyes of the PokerNews live reporting team?

$1,500 NLHE Freezeout Ends With Three Players Remaining
Event #52: $1,500 Freezeout No-Limit Hold’em heads into a fourth day after Day 3 concluded with three players still fighting it out on the baize. Start of the day chip leader Julio Belluscio bowed out in ninth, while two-time bracelet winner Bryan Piccioli saw his quest for a third bracelet end in a sixth-place finish.
There’s little to separate Asher Conniff (20,200,000) from Samuel Rosborough (19,375,000) and Michael Rossitto (17,400,000) when play resumes at 1:00 p.m. on June 20. Of those three, only Conniff has tasted victory in a bracelet-awarding event before.

Jason Maeroff Bags Millionaire Maker Day 1b Lead
Jason Maeroff (470,000) bagged the largest stack on Day 1b of Event #53: $1,500 Millionaire Maker as 2,448 entrants were whittled to only 496 over the course of 11 levels. Maeroff cashed in this event back in 2019 and is coming off an in-the-moey finish in the $1,500 Monster Stack.
The Day 1b field was awash with household names and bracelet winners, with many progressing to Day 2. Among them were Stephen Song (279,000), Ryan Leng (274,500), Dejuante Alexander (254,000), Kenny Hallaert (253,000), Jonas Lauck (242,000), Josh Reichard (239,500), and Davidi Kitai (203,500), who all bagged top 70 stacks.

Matt Vengrin On Course For His First Bracelet in the $1,500 PLO
Matt Vengrin (7,620,000) has amassed more than $1.9 million from live poker tournaments, but still doesn’t have a bracelet on his wrist. Vengrin has three runner-up finishes in WSOP events, and now has another chance to capture some poker gold because he’s the chip leader with 11 players remaining in Event #54: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha.
Vengrin won’t have everything his own way on the final day despite holding a substantial chip lead. That’s because Thai superstar Punnat Punsri (5,305,000), Bryce Yockey (4,650,000), Giuseppe Pantaleo (2,460,000), and Jason Stockfish (1,905,000) are part of the chasing pack hoping to prevent Vengrin from becoming a WSOP champion.
We shall find out if Vengrin stays in front of those chasing players when play resumes at 12:00 p.m. local time on June 20.

David Prociak is the Man to Catch in the $2,500 Triple Draw Lowball
With a total field of 463 players entering, Event #56: $2,500 Triple Draw Lowball Mixed is officially the largest WSOP tournament of its type, and David Prociak (370,000) has the best chance of taking it down.
Prociak, a two-time bracelet winner, finished top of the pile after a late-night surge, but there’s still a lot of poker to be played and some top-tier grinders among the 133 surviving players.
Greg Mueller (293,000) is one of them, as are Christopher Vitch (228,000), Renan Bruschi (221,000), Benny Glaser (197,000), George Alexander (189,000), and Chris Klodnicki (187,000), who all return in the top 25.
Other bracelet winners and $25K Fantasy Draft picks who made it through include Yuval Bronshtein (171,000), Scott Bohlman (141,000), Kevin Gerhart (141,000), David “Bakes” Baker (118,000), David “ODB” Baker (113,000), Dan Shak (94,000), John Monnette (87,000), Ben Yu (77,000), and Brian Hastings (69,000).
The plan for Day 2 is to play another 10 levels, with the action starting at 1:00 p.m. local time on June 20.

What to Expect on Day 25 of the 2025 WSOP
Another action-packed day of poker action is in store on June 20, the 25th day of the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
First, let’s talk about the events that will dish out their bracelets because fewer things in poker are as exciting as seeing someone capture some poker gold. Event #48: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold’em Championship is set to crown its champion, as is Event #51: $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha and Event #52: $1,500 Freezeout No-Limit Hold’em.
Event #54: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha is also meant to conclude, taking the total number of bracelets awarded on Day 25 to four.
By the end of Day 25, we will have a clearer picture of who will win Event #55: $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship, while Event #56: $2,500 Triple Draw Lowball Mixed will have progressed to its final day, too.
Day 1c of Event #53: $1,500 Millionaire Maker should more than 3,000 players start their quest for a bracelet and a seven-figure score, with Event #57: $50,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller the only new addition to proceedings.
Last summer, the $50K PLO drew in 187 entrants who were all outlasted by Germany’s Daniel Perkusic. The German returned home with $2,100,325 and his first bracelet.
