Hall of Fame Lineup Headlines Day 2 of $2,500 Omaha Hi-Lo / Stud Hi-Lo Mix

Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

When the late registration closed on Day 1 of Event #47: $2,500 Mixed Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better; Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better at the 2025 World Series of Poker, a new record had been set with 575 entries, creating a prize pool of $1,279,375. Day 2 will commence at 1 p.m. today, with 229 players returning to the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

Phil Hellmuth is among those still in contention for the $244,674 top prize as the poker legend is looking to claim his record-extending 18th WSOP bracelet. Having bagged 74,000 chips, Hellmuth sits just slightly below the average stack of 87,882, around 11 big bets. Hellmuth's fellow Hall of Famers Brian Rast and Huck Seed were on the same table for the majority of the first day, and both will start today with 129,000 in their possession.

Many possible future Hall of Fame inductees made it through to Day 2 as well, as the star-studded field has no less than 41 25K Fantasy picks remaining. While the likes of Jim Collopy (234,000), Shaun Deeb (206,000), Ari Engel (195,000), and Benny Glaser (189,500) have all bagged more than double the average stack, no one can hold a candle to chipleader Jay Kerbel, who dominated his Day 1 table to end up with 332,000 in chips.

Last year's runner-up Jon Kyte is looking to redeem himself, making it through to Day 2 with 138,500. The legendary Gus Hansen grinded his way to 117,000 on Day 1, while the likes of Felipe Ramos (70,000), Robert Wells (45,000), and Kyle Miholich (32,500) are among the shorter stacks, still hunting a maiden bracelet.

With only 87 spots making the money, there's still plenty of poker left before the $5,008 minimum cash is reached. The bigger payouts will come on Day 3, scheduled for June 17 at a time yet to be announced.

When the clock strikes 1 p.m. in Las Vegas, the tournament will resume in Level 13. The blinds in Omaha will be 2,000/4,000, and the ante in stud will be 1,000 per player. The bring-in is set at the same amount, and both games will have limits of 4,000/8,000. Day 2 will play 10 levels of one hour each, with a break after every two levels. A 60-minute dinner break is scheduled after Level 18, around 7:30 p.m. local time.

PokerNews will be on the tournament floor from the "shuffle up and deal" to the bagging of the chips, so do not go anywhere as our live updates from Event #47 will start shortly.

Bruno Furth
Bruno Furth

Caleb Furth, known to most as Bruno, had already proven his chops on the felt before the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP). But he's taken his game to the next level this summer — or about three levels — and he might be just getting started.

The Las Vegas local won his first bracelet last year, a $265,361 score for taking down the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better event, beating out 1,277 entrants. That victory was just the start of much bigger things to come.

Cook and Obst Chop Up McCormick

Level 13

Omaha Hi-Lo

James Obst raised in the cutoff which saw Christopher Cook in the small blind and Tom McCormick in the big blind call.

The flop rolled out 2Q4 and action checked around to Obst who bet and both of his opponents called.

On the turn 8, once more action checked around to Obst who bet and got two callers.

Obst bet a third time on the river Q when action checked around to him and both Cook and McCormick called.

Cook turned over AA98 for aces-up while Obst turned over AK63 for the nut low. McCormick mucked his hand and the two players chopped McCormick's bets.

Rosario Quadrupled From Start of Day

Level 13
Shirley Rosario
Shirley Rosario

Stud Hi-Lo

Shirley Rosario: A107/44AJ All in
Donald Yucius: 952/6792

Catching the action on fifth street, Shirley Rosario bet, and Donald Yucius called. Rosario also bet sixth street before she moved her last 3,500 over the line on seventh street.

Yucius called both times, but with neither player having a low, Rosario took down the whole pot with her superior two pair, giving her a big boost after she started Day 2 with only two big bets.
