Day 1 chip leader Zachary Reinbold is indicative of what makes events like the $600 Pot-Limit Omaha Deepstack at the 2025 World Series of Poker at the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas so great.
Sure, it’s a chance for established professionals to add another bracelet to their count, but it is also accessible enough for players looking to make a name for themselves and an opportunity to reach new heights.
Should he make a run at the title, Reinbold would surpass his career earnings at the World Series of Poker if he snags the top prize of $193,780, making it a ripe opportunity to not only double his earnings but also to grasp a gold bracelet.
End of Day 1 Top Ten Chip Counts
| Place | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Zachary Reinbold | United States | 3,475,000 | 115 |
| 2 | Oziel Velador | United States | 2,475,000 | 82 |
| 3 | Lester Edoc | Philippines | 2,430,000 | 81 |
| 4 | Brian Hunkins | United States | 2,235,000 | 74 |
| 5 | Nick Maimone | United States | 2,155,000 | 71 |
| 6 | Miguel Proulx | Canada | 1,805,000 | 60 |
| 7 | Ricardo Guida Furuguem | Brazil | 1,750,000 | 58 |
| 8 | Joe Ford | United States | 1,670,000 | 55 |
| 9 | Peter Walsworth | United States | 1,610,000 | 53 |
| 10 | Dzmitry Malets | Belarus | 1,605,000 | 53 |
A nonchalant Reinbold counted out his pile of chips, capping off a tremendous day with a smile and a shrug after a rowdy finish saw him win a roughly 1,500,000 pot during the final hand of the evening. “Sometimes it works out for the best,” he said as he shoveled his pile of chips into the bag.
Reinbold stated that he has played pot-limit Omaha at the WSOP for eight years now. According to wsop.com, Reinbold had his first final table last year in the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Six-Handed event, finishing in eighth place. No doubt Reinbold will look to top that as he enters Day 2 as the chip leader.
Brian Hunkins is another such player aiming to snag the top prize along with his first WSOP bracelet. Hunkins claimed he “ran like god” en route to amassing a stack of 2,235,000 heading into Day 2 of play.
Hunkins has only one WSOP final table on his record at a 2023-24 WSOP Circuit event heading into his run at the 2025 World Series of Poker, adding him to the list of many players looking to chase golden glory along with a pile of cash.
Any player looking to earn their first title will not have an easy field of opponents to maneuver through. The field is littered with ten bracelet winners still in contention, including Nick Maimone, Miguel Proulx, Hanh Tran, John Riordan, Konstantin Held, Pei Li, Martin Nielsen, Bob Slezak, David Simon, Andrew Donabedian, and most prominently, Josh Arieh.
Arieh, a six-time bracelet winner, will enter Day 2 with 980,000 in chips and will certainly be one to watch. The 2021 WSOP Player of the Year will be aiming to start the summer off with a statement by adding a seventh bracelet to his record.
Remaining Payouts
A total of 3,110 entries took their shot, tallying a total prize pool of $1,567,440. Day 1 concluded after 22 levels. The remaining 108 hopefuls will play down to a winner on June 4, starting at 11 a.m. local time, resuming play with the blinds at 15,000/30,000/30,000.
Stay tuned here at PokerNews for updates and an eventual champion during Day 2 action.

As PokerNews approached the table, Alexander Christian was all in for 715,000 in the big blind and was called by Miguel Proulx in the small blind on a K♦7♠9♥ flop. The cards were revealed.
Alexander Christian: A♦K♥7♦2♦
Miguel Proulx: J♥6♥9♦9♣
Bad News for Christian came as the dealer dealt the turn of the 7♣ giving Proulx a full house, nines full of sevens leaving Christian drawing to a king for a bigger boat.
The Q♣ sent Christian to the payout cage as Proulx chipped up to 1,900,000 15 minutes before the end of Day 1.

Kenneth McMillan started the action by raising to 75,000 with 15,000 behind. Shaul Peters raised to 250,000 and Mcmillan called for his remaining chips.
Kenneth McMillan: Q♥10♥10♣7♣
Shaul Peters: A♠A♥6♦3♣
Peter's aces held the lead going to the flop, but McMillan hit a two-outer as the dealer slid the flop of Q♠10♠8♥ with a ten right in the window. Peters needed an ace to eliminate Mcmillan.
The turn brought the 9♠ which was no help for Peters. With Mcmillan at risk of his tournament life late into Day 1 needing to dodge an ace.
A river card came as the 2♥ was great news for Mcmillan as he doubled through one of the big stacks at the table.

Daniel Klugman clashed with Kyle Rosnes when Klugman limped from under the gun for 20,000. Rosnes opted to raise to 90,000 from the cutoff and was called by Klugman.
Both players checked through the board of 7♠8♠3♥2♦A♦.
Klugman showed A♣10♣J♦3♦ for two pairs. Rosnes tapped the table as he tossed his cards into the muck.
