Event #58 of the 2025 World Series of Poker, the $3,000 Nine Game, attracted 409 entries to the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. At the end of Day 1, 144 players bagged up, and they will return today at 1 p.m. local time for more mixed-game action.
Among the hopefuls eyeing a share of the $1,092,030 prize pool is poker-boom era legend Gus Hansen. Hansen has made a resurgence at the WSOP this summer, playing a full schedule of predominantly mixed games. A victory for Hansen would mean his first bracelet in 15 years, while the $228,115 first-place prize would mean Hansen's first six-figure cash since 2011.
The road to victory is still long, though, and while Hansen's stack of 238,000 places him in the Top 10 at the start of Day 2, it is still some ways off from chipleader Oliver Tot's 356,000. Defending champion Yuri Dzivielevski is also in front of Hansen with 296,000 in his possession, and 25K Fantasy pick Nicolas Milgrom can be found in the Top 10 as well, with a bag worth 254,500.

| 1 | Oliver Tot | Slovakia | 356,000 |
| 2 | Fu Wong | United States | 355,000 |
| 3 | Sean Akhavi | United States | 331,500 |
| 4 | Matthew Woodward | United States | 307,000 |
| 5 | Yuri Dzivielevski | Brazil | 296,000 |
| 6 | Andrey Zaichenko | Russian Federation | 270,000 |
| 7 | Nicolas Milgrom | France | 254,500 |
| 8 | Nicolas Barthe | France | 248,500 |
| 9 | Fabrice Soulier | France | 244,500 |
| 10 | Gus Hansen | Denmark | 238,000 |
As usual in the WSOP mixed game events, many more notable players will make an appearance on Day 2. A small selection includes Hall of Famers Brian Rast (134,000), Phil Hellmuth (87,500), and Huck Seed (63,500), and multi-bracelet winners Brian Yoon (131,500), Nick Schulman (122,000), Calvin Anderson (98,000), Josh Arieh (60,500), and Brad Ruben (24,500).
Over half the field needs to be eliminated before the 64 paid spots are reached, at which point every remaining player will have guaranteed themselves a minimum cash of $6,029. Five-figure payouts will start from place 14 and up, while only the top two finishers will receive six-figure sums.

2-7 Triple Draw
Hiroshi Tanaka raised from under the gun and then called after Gus Hansen three-bet from the hijack.
Both drew two and the action checked through. Both took two again, Tanaka led and Hansen called.
Both took one on the end and Tanaka checked. Hansen peeked his cards and quickly tossed out a bet, which Tanaka paid off rather quickly. Hansen tabled Jx5x4x3x2x which was good at showdown to drag an early pot on Day 2.

Tot sent his hand into the muck and Tolkachov was awarded the pot.

Sebastian Schulz: A♥4♣3♠ / 2♦3♦5♣Q♥
John Bunch: J♣10♣ / A♣9♣8♥J♠ / Q♠
Bunch completed from late position, Schulz raised from the bring-in, and Bunch called.
Bunch check-called the entire way as Schulz fired on fourth, fifth, and sixth.
Bunch checked dark on seventh, Schulz bet, and Bunch called after peeling his last card. Schulz revealed his wheel which only got him half as Bunch made a straight to the queen on seventh.
"I started with a royal flush draw," Bunch explained, "Hard to get away from."
