The 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Event #43: $1,500 Razz at Horseshoe and Paris Casino in Las Vegas drew out many of those looking for a bracelet in the stud variant to call their own. A total of 472 entrants came out and generated a prize pool of $626,580 that was paid out to the final 71 players. On Sunday, it was just nine players who came in with a chance to take home that bracelet and the $126,363 awarded to first place. All but one of them saw those dreams unfulfilled.
It was nearly nine years ago that California poker player Allan Le took home his first WSOP bracelet in the Mixed Omaha Event (Big O/PLO 8). Since then, he has had multiple WSOP cashes, including a third-place finish in the $1,500 PLO in 2017. After defeating six-time WSOP bracelet winner Shaun Deeb heads up, he is now among the ranks of the two-time WSOP bracelet winners, holding bracelets in two very different variants.
Unlike when he won his last bracelet, Le now has three kids, and this time won his bracelet on Father’s Day.
“I would probably let them win,” the new champion said when asked whether he would let his children win if he played poker against them. “I give my kids everything. Not this bracelet, though; this bracelet is going to my wife over there.”
He motioned over to the sizable rail that included his wife, who accompanied him on the final table.
His kids did get to view from afar their father winning his second bracelet as a FaceTime call started just seconds after his victory. “Daddy won,” his wife told his kids as Le’s face broke into a smile, talking to his kids right after becoming a two-time champion.
Despite his new crown in Razz, Le makes it no secret what his favorite game is.
“PLO is my favorite game. I play all of the games, but that one is my bread and butter.”
A star-studded affair filled out the final table ranks today as 25K Fantasy heavyweights Maxx Coleman and Deeb both sat with opportunities to take home their second and seventh bracelets, respectively. The four-handed portion of the tournament saw quite a few swings between all four of the remaining players.
"Throughout the final table, there were a lot of ups and downs. I kind of just went after every pot that I could. I’m not sure whether that was the best play or not, but that’s how I usually play,” the two-time WSOP bracelet winner said. “That was my first tournament in Razz, so I’m fairly new at it.”
Not much has changed schedule-wise for Le with this win, as he made it clear after his win.
“I’ll be playing the rest of the series every single day, depending on what is available,” Le said with a smile on his face. "Maybe I can buy my wife another bracelet after winning this one.”
With that, Le took the bracelet, a new score worth $126,363, and exited the Horseshoe to celebrate with his family and friends.

Final Table Action
The first to go in ninth place was Washington’s Jackson Spencer. After losing one of the first pots at the table to Jason Lipiner, Spencer got the remaining chips in with three cards to a six while Le put him at risk with three cards to a king. Spencer could not keep from pairing up as the runout went on, and he ended up filling up and unable to beat Le’s nine-seven on seventh. Le padded his chip lead while Spencer collected $8,877 for his ninth-place finish.
Having bagged the Monster Stack as well as this final table, Mengqi Chen was unable to capitalize on his fortuitous double bag any more than the eighth place in the tournament. His departure would come after two key pots went Le’s way to leave him as the low man on the totem pole. He would eventually get his last chips in the middle against Coleman and Le, falling to Coleman’s seven and collecting $11,459 for his efforts.
At this point, the chip lead switched with Deeb overtaking Le in the counts as he made a seven against Le to top him in the counts. He then became the first player to cross the five million mark, holding nearly half the chips in play with seven players left.
As the players returned from break, it would be tournament regular Gabriel Ramos who would be unable to gain any more upward momentum as his short stack was acquired by Le. He got in his chips on third street, and he filled up to be unable to beat Le’s king. Le added more to his stack while Ramos collected $15,134 for his seventh-place finish.
It was a swingy day for Lipiner as he got early momentum in the final table, then drifted back down to the short stack. He managed to get a triple up against Coleman and Jeanne David, but he lost a significant pot to Le to leave him back at the bottom of the counts. He would get in his last chips in against Le’s seven, drawing to a better seven. The river would brick out and Lipiner would collect $20,438 for his sixth-place finish.
Down to just five players, it would be mixed game regular and Women in Poker Hall of Famer David to finish next in fifth place. She would get in her short stack against Deeb and ended with a jack-eight to be second best to Deeb’s eight-six, and the final woman standing finished with her best WSOP finish in fifth place for $28,213.
The pots brewed and the chips flew as it would be Clint Wolcyn soaring up the counts in the later portion of the game. As they came back from what would be their second break, he took a sizable pot off of Coleman to leave him as the shortest. He would end up getting all of his chips into the middle shortly after in a pot against Deeb as Coleman kept pairing while Deeb made an eight-seven. Deeb took a sizable pot while Coleman ended in fourth place, collecting $39,787.
Despite the flirtation and eventual overtaking of the chip lead, the next player to go in third would be Wolcyn. He would lose several key pots to Deeb to drop down in the counts and then be left with just a couple of chips. He would lose the rest to Le as his tournament ended with him making a jack-nine against Le’s seven perfect. Le would begin heads up at a 2:1 deficit against Deeb while Wolcyn claimed $57,296 for his efforts.
Deeb would pull farther ahead at the beginning of the heads-up match, but the match would only last just over thirty minutes as the pots began to drift to Le. The penultimate hand would see Deeb fill up to lose most of his chips to Le’s queen-nine. After that, Deeb got his last bet in showing a ten while Le called showing a nine. Le would end up making seven-six while Deeb ended up with queen-ten, and the six-time WSOP champion took his leave in second place, good for $84,221.
