The first week of the 2025 World Series of Poker came out swinging with big bluffs, brutal beats, and more than a few moments that had the entire poker world talking.
Whether it was Nick Schulman dropping the coldest line of the summer, Michael "Texas Mike" Moncek shoving blind into four premium hands, or Christopher Zollo turning a meme-worthy alias into a legit bracelet run, the first seven days of poker's biggest festival did not disappoint.
Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2025 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.
Today, the first of this year's two razz events, Event #43: $1,500 Razz, is getting underway here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. This three-day event kicks off at 2 p.m. Starting stacks are 25,000, and anyone lucky enough to bag some chips at the end of the day will return at 1 p.m. on June 14 for Day 2, where another ten levels play out. A winner will be crowned on Day 3.
Day 1 will last until the end of Level 15, with 40-minute levels on Day 1, transitioning to 60-minute levels on Days 2 and 3. Today's levels will be broken up by a 15-minute break after every third level, with late registration open for nine levels (approx. 8:45 p.m.).
The top prize in last year's event was $141,374 from a total prize pool of $730,245.
