: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Charles Pacheco raised from the button to 13,000 before Ryan Christopherson three-bet from the small blind to 35,000. The big blind got out of the way, and Pachecho called.
The flop J♦9♠2♠ saw Christopherson continue for 50,000, covering Pacheco's stack. Pacheco folded, leaving himself 34,000 behind.
The very next hand, Pacheco raised again to 13,000, and this time it was Haxton's turn to three-bet from the small blind. His raise was enough to set Pacheco all-in, and Pacheco called.
Charles Pacheco: A♦A♠4♦3♠ 
Isaac Haxton: A♥Q♥Q♦6♠
The case ace arrived on the 8♠K♣A♣ flop, improving Pacheco to top set.
The turn 10♣ and river 2♥ didn't change the outcome, and Pacheco doubled up.

The premier 2025 World Series of Poker Pot-Limit Omaha tournament drew a total of 370 players, who took their shot at Event #51: $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha with a total of 160 players returning with their hopes alive at a gold bracelet at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
Among the top of the chip counts was Richard Gryko, who is chasing his second WSOP bracelet in pot-limit Omaha and comes into Day 2 second in chips. Gryko won his first bracelet at the 2015 WSOP Europe €3,250 Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed event, making it a decade since his last bracelet. Gryko will have an opportunity to add yet another bracelet to his resume against a star-studded field as he enters play with 1,212,000 chips.
Gergo Nagy enters Day 2 sixth in chips. The Hungarian is an experienced pot-limit Omaha player with the majority of his recorded cashes coming in this format. Nagy will look to lean on this experience as he chases his first WSOP bracelet against this tough field of competitors. Nagy clashed with Dario Alioto in the second half of Day 1 to climb up the chip counts and was able to finish the opening day strong, bagging a total of 1,000,000 flat to finish in the top ten.
Coming out ahead of the pack on Day 1 was Talal Shakerchi, who is also chasing his first WSOP bracelet. Shakerchi came close to a WSOP title in 2023 when he finished runner-up in the Poker Players Championship, and is in prime position to make yet another run as he enters the second day of play with 1,456,000.
