Several high-stakes contests during the 2025 World Series of Poker at the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas have already determined a champion. However, the most expensive buy-in is now waiting for the grand finale. Out of a field of 63 entries in Event #46: $250,000 Super High Roller No-Limit Hold'em, only eight hopefuls remain and they will all aim to secure the biggest slice of the gargantuan $15,513,750 prize pool.
With some of the biggest names in the world of poker in contention, the final eight contenders have all locked up at least $581,411 for their efforts, but that certainly pales in comparison to the $4,752,551 top prize, as well as the highly sought-after WSOP gold bracelet.
Leading the way by a significant margin is Belgian poker pro and coach Thomas Boivin with 28,025,000, which is nearly as many chips as his nearest followers Ben Tollerene (15,450,000) and Alex Foxen (14,525,000) have combined.
With more than $10 million in reported live tournament cashes to his name, Boivin will be full of confidence after finishing third in Event #38: $100,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em just a few days ago for a seven-figure payday.

It certainly won't be an easy ride to victory despite the major chip advantage, as the Belgian has to overcome several top pros with plenty of experience at such a pivotal stage. Along with Boivin, the high-stakes crushers Tollerene and Seth Davies (10,500,000) are the only players without a gold bracelet on their resumes.
The leader on The Hendon Mob's all-time money list, Bryn Kenney, sits right in the middle of the pack, vying for his third bracelet, as do David Peters, and Chris Brewer. There is also the always talkative Martin Kabrhel, who can not only talk up a storm, but also bring a lot of action to the table as well. Kabrhel is the second-shortest stack with 3,675,000 and has the chance to claim his fourth bracelet today.
