Last Chance to Enter as Day 2b Begins in $25,000 Super Main Event
Day 2b of the $25,000 Super Main Event at the 2025 World Series of Poker Paradise begins today at Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas, starting at 12:00 p.m. local time, with 316 players returning to action. That number is comprised of 138 survivors from Day 1c and 178 players advancing from Day 1d, as the tournament continues through its middle stages.
Late registration and unlimited re-entries remain open through the first three levels of play, marking the final opportunity for players to enter the Super Main Event. The prize pool has already climbed beyond the $60 million guarantee and is expected to grow further during Day 2b.
The Day 2b field features a deep list of notables, including Daniel Negreanu (1,870,000), Viktor Blom (2,810,000), Chad Eveslage (4,215,000), Espen Jorstad (890,000), Scott Seiver (2,735,000), and many more.

Earlier in the week, 108 players advanced from Day 2a, with Martin Kabrhel finishing the day atop the chip counts after a highly active session. Kabrhel was involved in several notable pots, including a confrontation with Mustapha Kanit, who was eliminated late on Day 2a after the two tangled in a pivotal hand. Despite that exit, Kanit had already secured a cash on Day 2a and is back in action today after bagging chips during Day 1c (2,585,000) to qualify for Day 2b.
The players will reach the money once again during Day 2b, with play scheduled to continue until approximately seven percent of the total field remains, setting the stage for a unified Day 3.
