Cards will go in the air for the third and final day of Event #5: $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2025 World Series of Poker at noon at the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas.. A 757-entry field has been whittled down to just 11 seeking the first-place prize of $620,696 from a $3,573,040 pool.
Roussos Koliakoudakis and Martin Kabrhel are atop the leaderboard with 4.5 million chips each. Fabian Riebau-Schmithals is just behind them at 4.2 million.
Koliakoudakis has never won a bracelet, while Kabrhel has two bracelets and five WSOP rings.
Ryan Riess, the 2013 WSOP Main Event Champion, faces the tough task of being the shortest stack, entering the day with just eight big blinds. Lawrence Brandt, a two-time bracelet winner, who won a $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo event at the 2022 WSOP, is in the middle of the pack.
