A field of 377 entrants has been whittled down to just 69 returning players going into Day 2 of Event $6: $1,500 Seven Card Stud here at the 2025 World Series of Poker at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas.
The money bubble is set to burst early today, with the final 57 players earning at least $3,041. All players will have their sights set on the top prize of $106,840 and the WSOP gold bracelet.
Johnny Woolen enters the day with the chip lead after finishing Day 1 with an impressive 439,000.
Several 25k Fantasy Draft players remain in contention, including Max Pescatori (261,500), Joey Couden (261,500), Robert Wells (245,000), Brian Rast (153,000), Thomas Taylor (105,000), Raymond Henson (104,000), Nicolas Milgrom (56,000) and Dzmitry Urbanovich (50,000).
