Another record-setting field at the 2025 World Series of Poker will reach it's conclusion today at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas as Event #63: $1,500 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball is slated to crown its champion. Over the course of two days, a field that was once 635-players strong has been whittled down to its final 11 hopefuls.
While each of them is already guaranteed at least five figures ($10,106) for their efforts, all eyes are on the lion's share of the $842,963 prize pool, the top prize of $157,172 and the coveted bracelet awaiting the winner at the end of the night. Cards will be back in the air at 1 p.m. local time.
Returning in pole position is Hideki Nakamura (2,920,000) from Japan, who's racked up 25 cashes in Asia over the past four years according to The Hendon Mob. This would be his first officially registered US cash, and what a cash it would be if it came accompanied by WSOP glory.
Rounding out the top three are Mike Krescanko Jr (2,150,000), who cashed the $1,500 Badugi earlier this summer, and one of Argentina's top rated pro's Andres Korn (1,970,000), who's inching in closer on $4,000,000 in reported lifetime winnings with this deep run.

Still, it's limit betting, and with the hefty small and big bets starting at 60,000/120,000, it's anyone's game. Top mixed game specialists such as Nathan Gamble (1,500,000), defending champion Aaron 'AJ' Cummings (1,025,000), Jon 'Pearljammer' Turner (710,000), and Brandon Shack-Harris (550,000), everyone is only a double or two away from taking the lead in this one.
Levels will be 60 minutes throughout the day, with action continuing until a winner has been crowned. A dinner break will be up to the discretion of the tournament staff and players.
