The 2025 Onyx Super High Roller Series $25,750 SHRS Main Event resumes today at 12 p.m. local time with 47 players returning from a total of 227 entries. That number includes 17 survivors from last night’s Turbo Day 1, which drew 58 entries and brought the three starting flights to a close inside the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel Casino and Spa. The total prize pool will be announced later in the day along with the payouts, and the plan for the day is to play down to the final table of nine.
Leading the way is Day 1a chip leader Fahredin Mustafov, who bagged 3,000,000 to carry the overall chip lead into the penultimate day. Not far behind are Day 1b’s top two finishers, Rahul Byrraju with 2,430,000 and Kenar with 2,290,000. Other big stacks include Artur Martirosian (2,155,000), Adrian Strobel (2,100,000), and Nenad Dukic (1,950,000) all well positioned for a deep run.
