Matt Glantz has been a staple at the World Series of Poker for decades. The Team Lucky member's first WSOP cash came all the way back in 2000, when he min-cashed a $5,000 Limit Hold'em event. Since then, Glantz has amassed nearly $9 million in tournament earnings, won two WSOP Circuit rings, and has been present at 16 official bracelet events' final tables. Despite all his achievements, a bracelet still eludes Glantz; however, that might all change today at the 2025 World Series of Poker.
Glantz has made the 17th WSOP final table of his storied career in Event #19: $500 The COLOSSUS No-Limit Hold'em. Only nine players from the colossal field of 16,301 entries will return at 1 p.m. local time to the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas to divide the largest shares of the $6,664,102 prize pool and decide who will take home the WSOP bracelet and the staggering $542,540 first-place prize. With 60,900,000 in chips, Glantz sits near the bottom of the leaderboard, being one of four players who will sit down at the short-stacked final table with only 12 big blinds.
Three-time bracelet winner and fellow 25K Fantasy pick Ryan Leng and Brazilian UFC fighter Antonio Trocoli Filho are also among the shortest stacks. Meanwhile, chip leader Ramaswamy Pyloore will start the final day with over a quarter of the chips in play. Germany's Sigrid Dencker is the only other player with a nine-figure stack, as the only lady at the final table bagged 101,300,000 on Day 3.

The $57,970 the players have secured would be a decent first-place prize in any other tournament at this buy-in level, and is already the highest-ever score for six out of nine returning players. With six-figure payouts starting at the final six players, the pay jumps are huge, bringing massive ICM implications with them.

An extra day was added to the tournament as PokerGO has selected the COLOSSUS to be streamed, which will start one hour after the "shuffle up and deal," at 2 p.m. The live reporting will follow the same delay to avoid spoilers.

Justin Gutierrez raised on the button to 10,000,000 with A♥4♥ and in the big blind, Williams called holding A♣6♥.
The flop rolled out J♥K♣4♣ and Williams checked over to Gutierrez who bet 7,000,000 with his pair of fours.
Williams counted out all of his stacks of chips before he folded his hand, ceding the first hand of the final table to Gutierrez.

Ramaswamy Pyloore found K♥10♣ in late position and raised to 12,000,000. Courtenay Williams looked down at A♠Q♠ in the small blind, and, after counting his stack, made a very small three-bet to 20,000,000.
With slightly less than half of Williams' stack in the middle, Pyloore went into the tank for a minute or so before calling. The flop fell 6♣Q♣K♦, and Williams instantly moved in his remaining 25,500,000 chips.
Some more time went by before Pyloore folded the best hand, seeing the chips being shipped to Williams without showdown.

Justin Gutierrez opened to 10,000,000 in the hijack holding K♠J♠ and in the big blind, Matt Glantz moved all in holding A♣8♠ for 56,000,000.
Gutierrez asked for a count and tossed his hand into the muck after some deliberation.
The next hand, Ramaswamy Pyloore was in early position, raising to 11,000,000 with Q♥J♦. Antonio Trocoli Filho sat next to him and shoved for 61,000,000.
Pyloore asked for a count, but eventually deemed the amount too much as he folded his hand.
