The third and final day of the 2025 Bar Poker Open Vegas World Championship begins at 2 p.m. local time at the Golden Nugget Las Vegas. Only eight players are returning from a field that started with 1,223 competitors from leagues all around the country. The eight remaining players are all on the hunt for the $100,000 top prize out of the $335,375 prize pool, along with the title of Bar Poker Open Champion.
Ron Fienberg of Cary, NC, is the runaway chip leader heading into the final day, sitting with 8,045,000. He got hot at the right time yesterday, knocking out five out of eight players once the final two tables were set. As the only player with over 30 big blinds, he looks to leverage his big stack and put pressure on his opponents to keep his momentum going.
Patricia Jackomin (4,755,000) is one of two females left in the field and enters the final table sitting in second place. The Pennsylvania resident eliminated Barry Fagan in ninth place to propel herself toward the top of the counts.
Rounding out the top three is Bill Acerra of Massachusetts with 4,065,000. He climbed steadily throughout the day yesterday, picking his spots to build a stack. He aims to do the same today.

In the 897th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined by PokerNews Ontario Ambassador Kyle Anderson, who fills in for Mike Holtz. The trio discusses the deadly shooting that took place across the street from the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) in front of the Bellagio Fountains, and then dives into the color-up controversy involving Tyler Brown, who shared his story with PokerNews.
Kyna then sounds off on the cancelled WSOP Online bracelet event, Michael Lavin won a gold bracelet and an extra $1,000,000 thanks to ClubWPT Gold, and Benny Glaser claimed two bracelets early in the summer. Other tournament winners include Josh Reichard, Brad Ruben, Blaz Zerjav, and Nick Guagenti, who denied Chino Rheem his first bracelet.
After recapping Dusti Smith's win in the Wynn Ladies High Roller and a look ahead to some upcoming poker charity events, Chad shares details on his recent Live Reality Game (LRG) adventure in which he left the WSOP for 10 days to compete in a Survivor-based game, Surviving Reelfoot Season 13, in the woods of Tennessee.
