It’s time for Day 2 of Event #62: $5,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold’em at the 2025 World Series of Poker hosted within the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. With a prize pool already over $4,500,000, 348 out of the initial 996 entries remaining, and still one level of late registration, this event is already one of the most premier events on the schedule.
Sebastian Toro leads the way with 695,000 chips, but there is a plethora of sharp players from all over the globe that will be hunting him down.
Currently fifth in chips, Edward Pak is looking to add to his recent $2,000,000 third-place finish to close out 2024 in the WPT World Championship. Jake Schwartz is another big-ticket name hunting down Toro. With $4,700,000 in career earnings, Schwartz has proven he can battle with anybody on the felt and is a dangerous man with 153 big blinds.
