All Eyes on Phil Ivey as He Hunts Bracelet 12 in $100,000 Pot-Limit Omaha
Only seven players remain in the hunt for a bracelet in one of the toughest tournaments of the summer, as the final day of Event #79: $100,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2025 World Series of Poker kicks off at 1 p.m. local time inside the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas.
After 121 entries created a prize pool of $11,676,500, all remaining players are guaranteed at least $419,563 for their efforts, but everyone has their eyes on the $2,957,229 top prize and the prestigious gold bracelet.
Leading the charge on the final day is Isaac Haxton, who brings a stack of 15,725,000 into today's proceedings. Following not too far behind is Shaun Deeb with 13,625,000, while Spain’s Lautaro Guerra starts today third on the leaderboard with 11,100,000.
Final Table Seat Draw
| Seat | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Shaun Deeb | United States | 13,625,000 | 68 |
| 2 | Phil Ivey | United States | 8,700,000 | 44 |
| 3 | Alex Foxen | United States | 9,875,000 | 49 |
| 4 | Sean Rafael | United States | 3,675,000 | 18 |
| 5 | Lautaro Guerra | Spain | 11,100,000 | 56 |
| 6 | Isaac Haxton | United States | 15,725,000 | 79 |
| 7 | Arthur Morris | United States | 9,900,000 | 50 |
Alex Foxen (9,875,000) and Arthur Morris (9,900,000) return with nearly identical stacks, while Phil Ivey (8,700,000) brings an average stack after late-registering and navigating his way to yet another final table. The eleven-time bracelet winner has already made two final tables this summer, including a sixth-place finish in the $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha event. Ivey won't be afraid to get involved early and give himself the best chance of making a push for the title.
Returning as the clear short stack is Sean Rafael (3,675,000), who will be looking to find an early double if he hopes to stay in contention for his first WSOP bracelet. Despite being at the bottom of the pack, Rafael has been in top form this week, fresh off a deep run in the $10,000 PLO Championship just days ago, where he finished fourth for $462,451.
The final table resumes at 1 p.m. local time with blinds at 100,000/250,000 and a 250,000 big blind ante. Blind levels will continue to be 60 minutes in length, with the schedule to play until a champion is crowned. The PokerGO stream coverage will begin at some point in the day.
