The high-stakes four-card action is heating up during the 2025 World Series of Poker at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas and a winner is set to be crowned today on the main feature table inside of the Horseshoe Event Center. After three tournament days, the 489-entry-strong field in Event #51: $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha has been whittled down to the final five hopefuls and they will be competing for the biggest piece of the $11,491,500 prize pool.
Leading the way by a significant margin is Germany's Dennis Weiss as his stack of 28,450,000 is nearly two times as much as his nearest follower. Weiss has a bracelet after winning the €5,000 Pot Limit Omaha during the 2024 WSOP Europe at Kings Resort in Rozvadov last year.
Behind him is the only 25K Fantasy Draft player still in contention. Michael Duek bagged up 14,700,000 and is perhaps best known for his third place in the 2022 WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas, but he also had a third-place finish in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship prior to that during the same summer.
Talal Shakerchi is known to many under his online poker moniker "raidalot" with which he has notched up numerous titles. The British businessman also regularly competes at the highest stakes and already cashed for more than $19 million in live poker tournaments, though, the elusive WSOP gold bracelet has escaped him so far. Shakerchi brings 12,300,000 into the final day, which is narrowly ahead of Evan Krentzman (11,350,000) who has many PLO cashes on his resume totaling more than $700,000.
Last but not least, Jeffrey Hakim brings up the bottom of the leaderboard but has plenty of experience at his disposal. A regular on the European poker circuit, Hakim ended the last year on a high note after he won his first WSOP gold bracelet in The Bahamas in the $2,500 Mini Main Event for $575,050, which is also his largest career score to date.
Seat Assignments for the Final Day

| 4 | Dennis Weiss | Germany | 28,450,000 | 95 |
| 5 | Talal Shakerchi | United Kingdom | 12,300,000 | 41 |
The final five players will return to the live stream table at 1 p.m. Las Vegas time with blinds of 150,000/300,000 and a big blind ante of 300,000. All finalists have locked up at least $539,817 for their efforts and the top three finishers will all earn a seven-figure payday with the coveted WSOP gold bracelet and $2,292,155 reserved for the eventual champion.

Dennis Weiss potted to 900,000 with the A♦3♠2♠2♣ and Talal Shakerchi in the big blind defended the K♦7♣5♦3♦ as they headed to the A♥6♦4♣ flop. Weiss bet 1,050,000 with his top pair and gutshot, instantly facing a raise to 2,850,000 by Shakerchi with his rundown.
After some consideration, Weiss came along to the 7♠ turn and checked. Shakerchi had improved to the second nuts and checked it back to the 10♦ on the river. Weiss checked again and then glanced right at his table neighbor, who made it 4,275,000 to go into a pot of 6,800,000.
After some consideration, Weiss tossed his cards into the muck and said, "Nice hand," to Shakerchi.

Evan Krentzman limped in from the small blind with A♣J♣5♦2♦ and Michael Duek raised the pot to 900,000 from the big blind. Krentzman called and the flop of 10♣7♣4♠ hit the felt.
Both players checked and the A♠ rolled off on the turn. Krentzman checked again and Duek slid out a pot-sized bet of 2,100,000. Krentzman called with top pair and the nut flush draw as the 8♦ landed on the river.
Both players instantly checked the river and Duek flipped over A♥8♥5♠3♠ for two pair to claim the pot.

Jeffrey Hakim raised the pot to 1,050,000 on the button with the K♠K♣10♥6♠ and Talal Shakerchi asked him for the stack size before calling in the big blind holding the K♥Q♣J♠9♦.
The 9♠8♣6♣ flop saw Shakerchi bet the pot to send his opponent deep into the tank. Eventually, Hakim moved all in for 4,000,000 and Shakerchi called.
The 5♦ turn and K♦ river changed nothing except for improving Hakim to a set of kings for the double-up.

Level 29
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Dennis Weiss raised to 1,050,000 from under the gun with A♥Q♥7♥6♣ and Talal Shakerchi flat-called on his left with 10♣9♣8♠8♦.
They went heads-up to a flop of A♣J♥J♣ and Weiss continued with a bet of 950,000. Shakerchi decided to raise to 2,450,000 with just a flush draw. Weiss used one of his time banks and then called.
The turn was the 5♠ and both players checked to the 3♥ on the river. Weiss checked again and Shakerchi gave up the charade by checking it back, sending the pot to Weiss with aces-up.

Level 29
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Michael Duek limped in from the cutoff with A♦J♣8♦7♠ which allowed Dennis Weiss with K♠Q♠6♠2♠ and Talal Shakerchi with A♠K♣10♥4♥ to come along from the blinds.
The flop fell J♠5♥2♣ and Weiss led out with a bet of 650,000, holding just a pair deuces. Shakerchi got out of the way but Duek came along with his pair of jacks, the better of the two holdings.
The turn brought the 9♣ and Weiss checked this time. Duek threw in a bet of 2,000,000 and that was enough to force Weiss out of the pot.
