The latest mixed game champion is set to be crowned at the 2025 World Series of Poker, as the remaining 18 contenders return for the final day of Event #58: $3,000 Nine Game Mix.
The event saw a total of 409 entries, creating a prize pool of $1,092,030 divided up among the top 62 finishers. The largest share will be on the line today, when players take their seats at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas at 1 p.m. local time to chase the top prize of $228,115.
Leading the way is Jonathan Glendinning with 1,446,000 chips, who is pacing the field with a slight chip advantage heading into Day 3. He's followed closely by Jon Kyte in second with 1,425,000, while Thomas Taylor adds another deep run to his resume with 1,278,000 chips to sit third overall.
All three of the them are searching for their first career bracelet after several notable results and close calls, and still have to get past the event's defending champion. Yuri Dzivielevski (705,000) took down his tournament last summer, earning one of his five WSOP bracelets. Dzivielevski will aim to climb the leaderboard today against a stellar mixed game field.
