Action will resume at noon for Day 3 of Event #42: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed at the 2025 World Series of Poker hosted by Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas.
After two action-packed days, a field of 1,932 players has been whittled down to just seven, all of whom are ready to enter the poker arena and battle for the lion's share of the $1,700,160 prize pool and a coveted WSOP gold bracelet.
Headlining Day 3 is a former champion of this event, Dylan Weisman. Starting the day sixth of seven, with a stack of 3,235,000, Weisman is the last remaining player to have previously won a bracelet. The 25K Fantasy Draft player has two to his name, one of which was for winning this very same event at the 2021 WSOP for $166,461.
However, it will be Carlos Leiva leading the charge into the final day, returning with a monstrous stack of 10,230,000, good for 102 big blinds at the start of play. This is the Argentine's deepest run in a WSOP event to date, but he has plenty of experience under his belt, as evidenced by his lifetime earnings of just under $1,000,000.
One glance in his rear-view mirror, though, and Leiva will see six talented opponents equally eager to get their hands on the top prize of $237,852 and the bracelet.
Remaining Player Chip Counts
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Carlos Leiva | Argentina | 10,230,000 | 103 |
| 2 | Hooman Nikzad | United States | 7,940,000 | 80 |

| 6 | Dylan Weisman | United States | 3,235,000 | 33 |
| 7 | Brian Mckain | United States | 2,500,000 | 25 |
For Canadian player Kyle Rosnes, this run already assures he will improve on his best live score to date, and with the seventh-place prize guaranteed, he will almost double his lifetime earnings. Coming into Day 3 in fifth place, he will no doubt be looking further up the payouts and hoping to add a significant sum to his current poker returns.
