Level 6
: 300/600, 600 ante
With just shy of $25 million in live tournament earnings, Punnat Punsri holds the top spot on Thailand’s all-time money list and ranks inside the top 50 globally. Despite not yet capturing a WSOP bracelet, he came close earlier this series with a third-place finish in the shootout event. Punsri has already cashed in four events this summer, including two high rollers, and is currently seated at Table #234.
- Event #37: $1,500 No Limit Hold'em - Monster Stack - 133rd for $10,095
- Event #32: $50,000 No Limit Hold'em - High Roller - 8-Handed - 24th for $102,395
- Event #26: $25,000 No Limit Hold'em - High Roller - 8-Handed - 11th for $111,294
- Event #20: $1,500 No Limit Hold'em - Shootout - 3rd for $130,560
With experience spanning a wide range of buy-ins, Punsri certainly won’t be fazed as this event moves closer to the final table. The question now is whether this could be the tournament that delivers Thailand its first-ever WSOP bracelet, and if Punsri is the one destined to make it happen.

Three players still had cards on a flop of J♠Q♦3♦ and they all got their stacks in on this street, with William Mcmahan covering.
Fabrice Soulier: K♠K♦3♣2♦ 
Gary Jablonski: A♦J♦10♥8♣
William Mcmahan: Q♠Q♣9♠9♥
Mcmahan had flopped the nuts with top set, but still had to hold against plenty of outs. Jablonski was drawing to the nut flush and broadway. Soulier, although he would've been drawing extremely live against either of these opponents heads up, realised he was heading home unless he got an extremely specific runout. His diamonds were covered, and even if he managed to hit a set, it would give Soulier Broadway. He had already mucked his cards by the time the 7♥ turn was dealt, and the 5♣ river locked it up for Mcmahan.

Igor Dubrovsky limped from middle position before Grant Hart raised to 1,500 from the button. Andrew Egan called from the big blind, and Dubrovsky also called.
Three checks followed the 6♥4♦K♦ flop to see the 3♣ appear on the turn. Egan checked again, but Dubrovsky bet 3,000. Hart folded, and Egan called.
Both players checked the 10♥ river and Dubrovsky flipped over A♦10♣5♦4♣ for a rivered two pair to win the pot.

Finnish poker legend Juha Helppi just busted Event #51: $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha and hopped right into this event. Helppi has earned over $9 million in live poker tournaments and sits second on Finland’s all-time money list behind only Patrik Antonius.
Helppi’s World Series of Poker breakthrough came in 2019 when he claimed his first bracelet by winning the $10,000 Limit Hold’em Championship for $306,622. Just one year later, he added a second piece of WSOP gold by taking down the 2020 WSOP Online GGPoker $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship, topping a field of 328 for $290,286. A veteran of the WSOP since 2003, Helppi’s two bracelets cement his status as one of the most accomplished players ever to come out of Finland.
Though he is yet to register his first cash at the 2025 WSOP, he certainly is putting in the volume to perhaps make a deep run, and even go as far as getting his third bracelet.

An extremely familiar name in the PLO world, Lou Garza, is a wizard with four cards in his hand. The man has two scores of more than $1,300,000 at the World Series, the first coming in 2023 as he took down Event #50: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship. Not only did he win his first bracelet, but his now-wife also won a ring, as he proposed to her seconds after being crowned winner.
The second came this year, as he made an absolutely unthinkable heads-up comeback against Ben Lamb to win Event #14: $25,000 High Roller PLO/NLH Mixed, for another seven-figure score, along with another bracelet. He is a man to be feared today, as he looks to make yet another deep run in the Worls Series, and pick up another big cash.
