Another added day of the 2025 World Series of Poker is set to unfold inside Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, as the scheduled two days of action were not enough to determine a winner in Event #84: $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em.
The final three players will return at 2 p.m. local time, where WSOP Player of the Year leader Shaun Deeb carries a sizeable lead into Day 3. Deeb has already locked up valuable points, but can add even more by adding a second bracelet of the series today.
After claiming up his seventh career bracelet just days ago in Event #79: $100,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha, Deeb bagged up 21,200,000 chips when play was stopped late Saturday night. That represents 35 of the 61 big blinds in play when cards are back in the air today.
Day 3 Seat Draw
| Seat | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jeffrey Thoney | United States | 3,800,000 | 6 |
| 2 | Shaun Deeb | United States | 21,200,000 | 35 |
| 3 | Zdenek Zizka | Czechia | 12,500,000 | 20 |
Standing in Deeb's way are Zdenek Zizka and Jeffrey Thoney, who will take their seats looking to deny their opponent of more history on the felt.
Zizka doubled up twice in the final minutes of Day 2 action, and sits second with 20 big blinds. Thoney returns as the short stack, with just over six big blinds after being the chip leader before Deeb's late-night surge.
All three players have earned $112,413 for their podium spot, but the largest share of the $1,648,240 prize pool awaits the winner. Sunday's champion will take home $232,498, along with the shiny WSOP gold bracelet.

Play will resume inside the Horseshoe Event Center on Level 36, with blinds of 300,000/600,000 and a 600,000 big blind ante. The levels will remain 30 minutes long, and breaks will be determined as needed on the extra day of action.
The PokerNews team will be on hand to provide full coverage, so be sure to stay tuned as we crown the latest WSOP champion in Las Vegas.
Benny Glaser, Scott Bohlman, Martin Kabrhel, and Shaun Deeb. Those have been the four names trading spots at the top of the 2025 World Series of Poker Player of the Year leaderboard.
But by the end of Sunday's action, Deeb could have his three closest competitors drawing thin.
Just three days removed from capturing his seventh career bracelet, Deeb is now on the verge of number eight, and with it, the inside track to yet another WSOP Player of the Year crown. He leads the final three in Event #84: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em, a tournament that was supposed to wrap up last night but needed an extra day to determine a winner.
Deeb returns to the Horseshoe Events Center at 2 p.m. local time with more than half the chips in play, holding 21,200,000. Zdenek Zizka (12,500,000) and Jeffrey Thoney (3,800,000) stand between him and the $232,498 first-place prize, and a Player of the Year race that is becoming his to lose.

In the second hand of the day, Jeffrey Thoney shoved from the button for Shaun Deeb to ask for a count from the small blind. The dealer confirmed Thoney had 3,500,000 behind and Deeb shoved for more. Zdenek Zizka quickly got out of their way.
Jeffrey Thoney: A♦2♦ 
Shaun Deeb: 3♥3♣
The flop came J♣2♠7♦ for Thoney to hit a pair of deuces but the rest of the board was completed with the 5♥ on the turn and the J♠ on the river for Thoney to bust in third place.

Level 36
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
The first few hands of heads-up play saw Zdenek Zizka take the chip lead.
In the most notable pot, Zizka raised the button and Shaun Deeb called in the big blind.
They went to a flop of 4♣A♥10♦, where Deeb check-called a bet of 600,000.
A 2♠ hit the turn and again Deeb checked, then again Zizka bet. This time it was 2,200,000, which Deeb called.
The J♠ completed the board and Deeb checked for a third time, and Zizka put out the third bullet of 2,700,000. Deeb didn't need to think for too long and after around 20 seconds, he called.
Zizka then flipped A♠9♠ for a pair of aces, and Deeb mucked his hand.

Level 36
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Shaun Deeb limped in on the button, and Zdenek Zizka opted to check.
Zizka checked on the K♦5♥9♥ flop for Deeb to continue with a bet of 600,000. Zizka called.
The turn was the 6♥, and Zizka checked again. Deeb fired a bet of 1,700,000 over the line, and Zizka took some time before making the call.
The Q♠ completed the board, and Zizka checked for the final time. Deeb barreled a bet of 4,700,000 into the pot to send Zizka into the tank. He glanced at his cards a few times before opting to fold.
Deeb held up his cards, looked back at the rail to show them, and someone shouted out, "You had the nuts again?!"

Level 36
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Shaun Deeb limped in and Zdenek Zizka checked his option in the big blind.
On the J♣Q♠8♦ flop, both checked to the 2♣ turn, where Zizka led out for 1,700,000. Deeb called.
A 3♦ filled out the board and Zizka announced a bet of 3,900,000 before sliding in the chips. Deeb exhaled a puff of air and a short while later, dropped in the call.
Zizka quickly tabled J♠8♠ for two pair, and Deeb's hand went into the muck.
A few more pots followed for Zizka as he took the next three down preflop, which left Deeb with 10,000,000 in his stack.
