Two weeks ago, Michael Rossitto was only one elimination away from capturing the first-ever bracelet of his career at the 2025 World Series of Poker. Ultimately, he would lose the heads-up battle in the $1,500 SHOOTOUT, having to make do with a runner-up finish. Today, Rossitto finds himself in familiar waters, being one of only three players remaining in Event #52: $1,500 Freezeout No-Limit Holdem.
Rossitto is the shortest stack of the three survivors from the 2,320-player field, bringing 17,400,000, or 29 big blinds, to the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas for the final day. Still, with merely five big blinds separating him from chipleader Asher Conniff, who is hunting the second bracelet of his career, it will only take one small pot to alter the dynamics significantly.
Final Three Chip Counts
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Asher Conniff | United States | 21,200,000 | 34 |
| 2 | Samuel Rosborough | United States | 19,400,000 | 32 |
| 3 | Michael Rossitto | Italy | 17,400,000 | 29 |
In between the experienced grinders Rossitto and Conniff is the relatively unknown Samuel Rosborough. This is only Rosborough's third-ever cash at the WSOP, and it is guaranteed to be a six-figure score as the players eye the top prize of $410,426 from the $3,077,145 prize pool.

Samuel Rosborough raised to 2,200,000 from the small blind, and Asher Conniff in the big blind called.
On the 3♦10♥Q♦ flop, Rosborough continued for 1,600,000, and Conniff called again.
Rosborough turned it up on the 2♥ turn and fired another bet for 4,500,000. Conniff went into the tank, but made the call after a while.
Both players checked the 7♦ river, and Rosborough's card went on their back first, showing Q♣8♣, for a pair of queens, which seemed enough for Conniff, as his cards found the muck.

Michael Rossitto raised to 1,800,000 from the small blind and Samuel Rosborough responded with an all-in. Rossitto beat him in the pot with a call.
Michael Rossitto: A♥K♥ 
Samuel Rosborough: 2♣2♠
The flop gave Rossitto more outs with the Q♦5♠Q♣, making the 6♣ another sweat but when the 7♠ fell, Rosborough clapped his hand and ran to his rail to celebrate getting to heads up.
Conniff offered Rossitto a compassionate handshake and Rosborough circled back to shake hands with the third place finisher.
