The final day of Event #36: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship at the 2025 World Series of Poker kicks off at 1 p.m. inside the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas, as just two players remain from a record-breaking field of 386.
Philip Sternheimer comes into today's heads-up battle with a stack of 14,025,000, which is good for 56 big blinds and the chip lead. Sitting across the table from Sternheimer will be Bruno Furth with 9,150,000 chips, which is worth 37 big blinds.
Heads-Up Chip Counts
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Philip Sternheimer | United Kingdom | 14,025,000 | 56 |
| 2 | Bruno Furth | United States | 9,150,000 | 37 |
Furth has already enjoyed a successful summer at this year’s WSOP, having won his second career bracelet and a career-best score of $620,696 for winning Event #5: $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha. Furth will be looking to bring that momentum and confidence into heads-up play as he fights for another bracelet.
Sternheimer is still chasing his first WSOP bracelet, despite already having six final table appearances and a best finish of third place. A win here would not only more than double his career-best cash but also finally erase the label of being one of the best players yet to win a bracelet.
The action resumes on Level 31 with blinds of 125,000/250,000 and a 250,000 big blind ante. Both players are guaranteed $508,705, while the champion will take home $763,087 and the sought-after gold bracelet.
