The players at the 2025 World Series of Poker who love the big bet games have made their way to Event #76: $2,500 Mixed Big Bet to play a seven-game mix at the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas. A total of 459 came out to play over the course of the 10 levels of late registration, in their hunt to become the next mixed big bet champion, but only 101 ended up bagging at the end of twelve levels of play.
The action generated a prize pool of $1,019,050 that will be divided up among the final 69 players. Whoever stands at the end of the tournament will receive a WSOP gold bracelet and $206,982.
Leading the way is Christopher Vitch, who ended his day with 583,500. The three-time WSOP bracelet winner is chasing his ninth cash of the series, having most recently cashed the $50,000 Poker Players Championship as well as two final table finishes in the $1,500 and $10,000 PLO8 events. The hand that ascended him into the top position was one that saw an all-in where he eliminated Tyler Brown and took a sizable pot off of Fillipos Stavrakis, after which he maintained the lead throughout the rest of the day. In a summer full of many established pros adding more bracelets to their resumes, Vitch is looking to take home his fourth this summer.
Sitting right behind him is WSOP bracelet winner Matthew Schreiber with 566,000. The only other stack above the 500,000 mark, Schreiber ascended very quickly up the counts after late registering for the tournament. Just one day after finishing second in Event #71: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Championship, Schreiber looks to add another cash to his already substantial 2025 WSOP. Having cashed for more money this year than in any of the prior years at WSOP, he looks to add a bracelet to his already stacked 2025 resume of six cashes, three final tables, and two runner-up finishes.

James Obst (451,000) and Julio Belluscio(394,000) round out the top four with sizable stacks they maintained throughout the day. Others that found bags include Barry Greenstein (292,000), Jon Turner (276,000), Jake Schwartz (260,500), Jeff Madsen (252,000), Nick Guagenti (204,000), and seven-time WSOP bracelet winners Brian Rast (201,000) and Daniel Negreanu (188,000). Blaz Zerjav (76,000) is looking to match Benny Glaser this summer and take down his third WSOP bracelet of the year.
Fortune did not smile upon all today, as many of the game's greats fell by the wayside. Players like Huck Seed, Jen Harman, Arthur Morris, Ryan Leng, Steve Zolotow, and Martin Zamani failed to put chips in a bag. Defending champion Wing Po Liu also did not make it out, leaving the throne open for a new player to take a seat.
The surviving players will return tomorrow at 1 p.m. to begin play at Level 13. Blinds will be 1,500/3,000 with a 4,500 ante in No-Limit Single Draw and No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw; 1,000/2,500 with a 2,500 ante in Pot-Limit Omaha, Big O, Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo, and Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw; and 1,000/2,500 with a 3,500 big blind ante in No-Limit Hold’em. Players will play for ten 60-minute levels with 15-minute breaks at the conclusion of every two levels. A dinner break will occur at the conclusion of Level 18, at roughly 7:30 p.m.

Big O
Action was picked up on the flop in a pot between Nick Guagenti in the small blind and Robert Gussoni in first position.
With a board reading 7♥2♣8♦, Guagenti bet 8,000 and Gussoni called.
On the turn 5♦, Guagenti bet 15,000 which Gussoni called.
Guagenti bet the pot of 64,000 on the river J♥ which saw Gussoni go into the tank. After some thought he folded and Guagenti raked in the pot to add to his late night surge.
