Day 3 of Event #47: $2,500 Mixed Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better; Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better of the 2025 World Series of Poker saw a stacked field return to the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas to divide the majority of the $1,279,375 prize pool.
After 11 hours, only one poker star remained. Jason Daly streamrolled his way to his second bracelet and the top prize of $244,674, eliminating all-time bracelet leader Phil Hellmuth in third place and Kevin Choi just minutes after each other, after having already taken out Tobias Hausen in fourth and last year's runner-up Jon Kyte in fifth.
Daly's domination in the endgame was partly by design. "When I get to these final tables, I'm boom or bust. I go for it. So when you get the momentum, you don't let off the gas. If they get back to even, then you worry about a strategy," he shared after his victory.

The biggest story for the majority of the day was Hellmuth's search for a record-extending 18th bracelet. Daly and Hellmuth were seated next to each other during the entire final table, and in classic Hellmuth style, the 17-time bracelet winner had some choice words for the eventual champion every now and then. Daly had nothing but postive words for Hellmuth after his win, however: "It's to be expected. He's nice about it. If he crosses the line, he'll apologize. It's good for the game."
Hellmuth was, of course, not the only opponent Daly faced on his road to victory, and Daly stated that adapting to different opponents is a big part of his game. "I feel like I have a good sense for where I'm at versus other people. I think that's a big thing in this mix. Playing Hellmuth or Choi, the ranges are going to be vastly different."
Daly's Day of Domination
Daly started the day as third in chips and had climbed to second on the leaderboard once the final three tables were reached. He continued his run by eliminating poker legend Gus Hansen in 24th for $7,771. After the departure of Hall of Famer Brian Rast (22nd - $9,257), Daly sent out Gary Benson (19th - $9,257 and Eiichiro Teshima (17th - $9,257) to reach the final two tables.
Continuing to send players to the rail, Daly was also a part of the eliminations of Benny Glaser (16th - $9,257), who saw his hopes for a third bracelet this summer come to an end, and Lynda Tran (14th - $11,269). Eventually, Jon Turner bubbled the unofficial final table in tenth place for $14,010, and William Flachsbart finished in ninth for $17,784.
Daly started the final table even in chips with Hellmuth, but soon took a significant lead. After a relatively quiet period for Daly, he and Hellmuth knocked out Alexander Orlov in sixth, after which Daly's aforementioned streak of eliminations began. At one point during three-handed play, Daly had 85 percent of the chips in play, and he finished the job not much later to pick up his second bracelet in three years.
"The first one is great, but the second one brings a little more validation," Daly stated, carrying his newly acquired WSOP bracelet with him. "Especially as the final 27 of this field were sick."
Daly stated he was unsure if he would be playing more this summer, originally planning to leave after this event, which he deemed one of his favorites.

"What the f*** just happened?" Hellmuth said quietly.

Daly showed A♥K♠K♥J♠ for kings and deuces, and Hausen's A♣7♠7♣3♦ was soon added to the muck.

In the 898th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Kyna Englandn and Mike Holtz are back at Level 9 Studio to offer their thoughts on Doug Polk's recent appearance on Kill Tony, the popular Austin-based stand-up comedy program. How did Doug do in front of Tony Hinchcliffe and company? Let's just say you might be surprised.
Mike, who made a recent appearance in Daniel Negreanu's vlog, then sounds off on the cancelled WSOP Online bracelet event, the crew discusses the recently-announced changes to the WSOP Circuit, Chad goes to the world's largest casino collectibles show, and Matt Savage offers his thoughts as a special guest speaker.
Other topics include bracelet wins by Nick Schulman, Jason Koon, and John Racener, highlights from recent Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) events, and an exclusive interview with famed poker author Michael Kaplan, who recently released a new book, Advantage Players. The veteran scribe shares several poker stories, including Phil Ivey and Kelly Sun's baccarat edge sorting, the legendary Billy Baxter, and what it was like working with Stu Ungar in what was one of the final, if not THE final, interviews before he passed in 1998.
Learn about all those stories and more in the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast!
