With the calendar switching over to July and the 2025 World Series of Poker entering its final few weeks, some of the top names in poker are taking a shot at a summer-saving run when they return for Day 2 of Event #77: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship at 1 p.m. local time.
Shaun Deeb has had a few close calls in pursuit of his seventh WSOP bracelet, including two runner-up finishes and another third-place finish. He’s back at it chasing another deep run and enters the day second in chips with 310,000. Scott Bohlman already won his second bracelet earlier this summer to go along with three other final table appearances that put him second in the Player of the Year standings. He sits third on the leaderboard with 284,500.

Deeb, Bohlman, and the rest of the 78 returning players are looking up at Walter Chambers, who takes a sizable stack of 372,500 into the event’s penultimate day. Anthony Zinno (273,000) and Paul Houvener (259,500) round out the top five.
Other top stacks include last year’s $1,500 Stud Hi-Lo champion Nikolay Fal (232,500), Brian Hastings (221,000), Brad Ruben (200,000), 2025 $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo winner Blaz Zerjav (197,000), and Yuval Bronshtein (180,000).
A few days removed from her incredible run in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship, Esther Taylor has 174,000 to begin the day in pursuit of another deep run.
Viktor Blom (143,000), Allen Kessler (141,000), Norman Chad (124,000), Benny Glaser (102,000), 2023 champion Ryan Miller (94,000), and last year’s runner-up Richard Sklar (46,500) are also among those who return for Day 2 inside the Horseshoe Event Center.
The event has already attracted 160 entries, and with late registration remaining open for the first level of the day, the field should easily surpass last year’s total of 167.
The action picks up on Level 11 with limits of 4,000/8,000. Levels 11-15 are still 60 minutes long before being extended to 90 minutes beginning on Level 16. There is a 60-minute dinner break at the end of Level 15 around 6:30 p.m. local time.
Stay tuned as PokerNews follows all the action from this talent-laden field.

Maxx Coleman: XxXx/6♠A♦K♣Q♦ 
Jake Schwartz: XxXx/A♥A♠4♦Q♠
Jake Schwartz bet on fifth street and Maxx Coleman called.
Schwartz bet again on sixth and Coleman called for his last chips. Schwartz turned over 8♠8♥2♥ for two pair, while Coleman could only catch K♠3♦2♦ for a pair of kings as he was sent to the rail.
"Good job, Jake. That was great," tablemate Craig Chait said.
"That will be my only pot of the day," Schwartz replied.

Yuval Bronshtein: XxXx/A♠J♥A♣Q♦/Xx
Irvin Garcia Ramirez: XxXx/4♥6♣10♠7♣/Xx
Four players went to fourth street when Irvin Garcia Ramirez bet. Yuval Bronshtein then raised and the table folded back to Garcia Ramirez who reraised. Bronshtein made it four bets and Garcia Ramirez called.
Bronshtein continued betting on fifth and sixth streets as Garcia Ramirez called. Bronshtein bet again on seventh and Garcia Ramirez called.
Bronshtein showed J♠J♣9♦ for a full house and Garcia Ramirez mucked.
"Did you say hello ace, or hi ace?" Scott Bohlman joked with Bronshtein.
"I didn't need the ace. It was the jack, because he had trip sixes," Bronshtein replied.

Dylan Smith: A♠J♠/5♠3♠9♦10♣/Q♣
Richard Sklar: A♦6♦/2♣5♥K♣3♥/9♥
Michael Mizrachi: XxXx/9♣7♦ - folded on fourth street
Some minutes after Day 2 had started, Richard Sklar was seen rushing to his table. He then brought in, Michael Mizrachi completed, and Dylan Smith two-bet. Sklar called, as did Mizrachi.
Mizrachi checked to Smith on fourth street, who bet. Sklar raised, forcing Mizrachi out of the pot. Smith called, and bet when checked to on fifth street. Sklar called to sixth street, where Smith moved all in, and Sklar called.
Sklar's ace-king was good for the high when the chips went in, and seventh street left Smith with just ace-queen high and no low, resulting in an early exit on Day 2.
