Welcome back to PokerNews coverage of Event #51: $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2025 World Series of Poker, held at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
After registration closed yesterday, there were 489 total entries. That created a prize pool of $11.5 million, the majority of which is still yet to be awarded. The remaining 28 players will all have their eyes on the $2,292,155 first-place prize and the gold bracelet.
The remaining field is stacked with notable names. Some of the headliners are three of the top ten on the all-time tournament earnings list. Bryn Kenney, who is first on that list, comes into Day 3 with 3,965,000. He's looking for his third bracelet, and first live bracelet since 2014.
In ninth on the money list is Isaac Haxton. He'll start the day with 3,545,000. Haxton has a reputation as one of the smartest players in poker, and this prestigious bracelet would only enhance that reputation. His previous bracelet came in a $25,000 No-Limit Hold'em event back in 2023. A victory in another high buy-in event, this time with four cards, would be quite the feat.
Last of the three members of the top ten earners, but certainly not least, is Phil Ivey. Ivey comes to the day as one of the shorter stacks, with just 785,000. Things can change quickly in PLO however, so no player, especially not one with Ivey's capabilities, should be written off. Ivey has won 11 bracelets at the WSOP in his career, two of them being in PLO. If he were to win this tournament, it would be his first bracelet in an event with a buy-in greater than $10,000.
We also have two former WSOP Players of the Year remaining. Erick Lindgren was the Player of the Year back in 2008. That was when he won his first bracelet. He added another back in 2013, but hasn't tasted any WSOP gold since then. He will start the day with 1,985,000 chips.
The other former POY is Ben Lamb. Lamb has his picture on the wall in the Horseshoe for being named the POY in 2011. He's a force to be reckoned with when it comes to four-card games as his bracelet in 2011 was in a $10,000 PLO event.
