It was an action-packed day at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) as Day 3 of Event #48: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship wrapped up at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. From a massive combined field of 7,775 entries across two starting flights, just 202 players returned to battle it out on Day 3.

After ten intense levels of play, only 19 seniors remain in contention for the coveted WSOP gold bracelet. Each of the remaining players has locked up at least $27,048 from the impressive $6,666,000 prize pool, but all eyes remain fixed on the top prize.

Brett Lim bagged the biggest stack at the end of the night with 16,600,000, running hot in the final levels. With just $11,000 in recorded live tournament earnings, Lim will look to ride his big stack and momentum toward capturing his first WSOP bracelet.

Lim is closely followed by Dennis Carlson (15,725,000), a seasoned player whose tournament experience dates back to 2001. Carlson has accumulated nearly $200,000 in career earnings and is also chasing his first bracelet. Jose Boloqui rounds out the top three with 15,450,000. He’ll be aiming to surpass his best live cash of $54,790 as he makes a deep run in this event.

As the tournament progressed, the intensity ramped up with each level. The field steadily shrank as players faced critical decisions under mounting pressure. With the bubble well behind them, both seasoned veterans and legends battled fiercely to move deeper into the event. The fast-paced and unpredictable action set the stage for a dramatic run but also included several notable eliminations:

Poker Hall of Famer Barbara Enright (195th - $4,738), WSOP winners Massoud Eskandari (197th- $4,738), Larry Wright (174th- $4,738), Antoine Vranken (151st- $5,444) , Denis Ethier (112th - $5,444) ) and Marcel Vonk (86th - $7,361). They were soon joined by the last remaining 25K Fantasy Draft picks still in the running: Andrew Kelsall (73rd - $8,662) and Mike Leah (67th - $10,272).
