Ben Lamb Rides the Wave in $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha/No-Limit Hold'em
Day 3 of Event #14: $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha/No-Limit Hold'em at the 2025 World Series of Poker has concluded within the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. What started as a 245-entry field, is now down to five, as they battle for their share of the $5,757,500 prize pool, a first-place prize of $1,302,233, and one of the most prestigious bracelets on the schedule.
Ben Lamb was the headliner today. In a room full of stars he shined the brightest; heading into the day with slightly over 2,700,000 chips, he was down to two big blinds with 14 players remaining and is now bagging close to half the chips in play. Hand by hand he asserted dominance over anybody who dared to enter his pots and rarely reached showdowns throughout the day.
Remaining Chip Counts
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ben Lamb | United States | 17,140,000 | 71 |
| 2 | Lou Garza | United States | 6,650,000 | 28 |
| 3 | Chongxian Yang | China | 5,170,000 | 22 |
| 4 | Robert Cowen | United Kingdom | 4,535,000 | 19 |

Another day of big-name bustouts throughout Day 3 play, with Shaun Deeb, Nick Schulman, Laszlo Bujtas, Ben Tollerene, Michael Moncek, Youness Barakat, and many more big-name superstars within the poker space falling short of their goal of first place.
The bustout of John Pannucci ended Day 3 play, as his rundown hand could not crack the aces of Ben Lamb, who rivered a flush. However, it was not all bad for Pannucci, as he collected a $224,000 prize for finishing sixth.
