Ivan Ruban raised to 5,000,000 with the A♠10♦ and Klemens Roiter in the next seat glanced down on 5♠5♣ to send them into the muck after brief consideration. Daniel Lei then three-bet to 12,500,000 on the button with the A♥2♥ and Dylan Linde in the big blind folded the 6♣6♦.
Ruban sent his cards into the muck as well and Lei got the best hands to lay fold.

Ante: 2,500,000
Cards are in the air in Event #37: $1,500 MONSTER STACK. Updates will be posted beginning at 2 p.m. local time in order to synch up with the PokerGO live stream.
The World Series of Poker (WSOP) has released its updated tournament rules for 2025, and whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-time entrant, it's essential to understand the key changes.
While most of the rules remain consistent with past editions, several noteworthy updates have been made to improve game integrity, pace, and player behavior. There are six important rule changes and clarifications you need to know before taking your seat.
The half-way point of the 2025 World Series of Poker has nearly been reached and more than three dozen WSOP gold bracelets have already found a new owner at the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas. One more will be up for grabs today on the main stage inside of the Horseshoe Event Center when Event #37: $1,500 MONSTER STACK No-Limit Hold'em will come to a conclusion.
After the completion of all four starting flights and three subsequent tournament days, the gargantuan field of 9,920 entries has been whittled down to only seven hopefuls. All of them are vying for the largest possible slice of the $13,168,800 prize pool and American poker pro Dylan Linde is the only former WSOP gold bracelet winner still in contention.
Linde sits in third place with a stack of 88,500,000 and trails fellow countryman David Uvaydov (102,000,000) as well as Austria's Klemens Roiter (90,100,000).
Seat Draw for the Final Day
| Seat | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ashish Gupta | Australia | 30,800,000 | 12 |
| 2 | Dylan Linde | United States | 88,500,000 | 35 |
| 3 | David Uvaydov | United States | 102,000,000 | 41 |
| 4 | James Leonard | United States | 40,700,000 | 16 |
| 5 | Ivan Ruban | Russia | 62,100,000 | 25 |
| 6 | Klemens Roiter | Austria | 90,100,000 | 36 |
| 7 | Daniel Lei | United States | 81,600,000 | 33 |
Not far behind them is Daniel Lei with a stack of 81,600,000 and Russia's Ivan Ruban is only one double-up away from the chip lead, coming into the final day with 62,100,000. At the bottom of the leaderboard are James Leonard (40,700,000) and Ashish Gupta (30,800,000), the latter of which is usually a pot-limit Omaha specialist, but he certainly also knows how to handle two cards only and has already cashed for nearly $1.2 million in live poker tournaments.
The final seven players have locked up at least $207,647 for their efforts but all pay jumps going forward will be spicy and significant. Only the winner is set to take home the coveted WSOP gold bracelet and staggering top prize of $1,204,457.
