James Chen

James Chen of the United States has been spotted at Table #235 and is currently on his second bullet of the tournament. Chen is a master in the two, four, and five-card streets, having won $209,350 and his first WSOP bracelet in the $1,500 Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8-Handed during the 2024 series.

Chen plays buy-ins ranging from $500 all the way up to the $25,000 and is feared by many at his table. With a fresh starting stack to play with, Chen will be someone no one wants at their table.

Sitting on #Table 301 is the United States' Dylan Wilkerson, who during his career has amassed over $4,000,000 in live tournament earnings. So far during the 2025 WSOP, he has cashed five times.

  • Event#16: $600 Pot Limit Omaha - Deepstack - 8-Handed - 84th for $2,017
  • Event#19: $500 No Limit Hold'em - Colossus - 156th for $4,520
  • Event#31: $800 No Limit Hold'em - Deepstack - 8-Handed - 71st for $5,041
  • Event#36: $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha 8 or Better 8-Handed - 25th for $24,515
  • Event#44: $10,000 Pot Limit Big O Championship - 11th for $44,825

Wilkerson is still looking for his first bracelet and has the skills to win one, but with a huge field expected in this event, will he be able to win it here?

Chips Flying at Table #291

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action was picked up on a board reading 8♠10♥K♥Q♣ and Eron Kareev had bet out for 7,000 into a pot of just over 12,000. Paul Haus shoved for 16,200, and after some thought, Kareev called.

Paul Haus: Q♣Q♥J♥4♣ All in
Eron Kareev: 9♥9♠7♥3♥

The river J♣ kept Haus in the lead with a straight, and he doubled.

The very next hand, Kareev shoved his short stack after a raise from Connor Reynolds, and Reynolds called.

Eron Kareev: A♠A♣3♠2♦ All in
Connor Reynolds: K♠J♥10♠9♣

Kareev's two pair on the river of 8♣3♦Q♥K♦2♣ was good enough for him to stay alive, despite Reynolds' "million outs" on the turn.

Minho Cho has the unfortunate title of the first player to exit in today's event, lasting just 12 minutes before hitting the rail. Cho has already rebought, and has returned to starting stack
