Event #9: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship
Day 2 Started
After ten levels of poker so far, just 93 players remain in Event #9: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship at the 2025 World Series of Poker inside the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas. The Day 1 field of 183 has been trimmed by nearly half, and the survivors will return today at 1 p.m. for Day 2 of this four-day affair.
Leading the charge into Day 2 is Ryan Bambrick, who bagged a stack of 325,000. Not far behind are Austin Marks (320,000) and Micah Brooks (306,000), the only other players to start today north of the 300,000-chip mark.
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ryan Bambrick | United States | 325,000 | 41 |
| 2 | Austin Marks | United States | 320,000 | 40 |
| 3 | Micah Brooks | United States | 306,000 | 38 |
| 4 | Ofir Mor | United States | 266,000 | 33 |
| 5 | Eddie Blumenthal | United States | 262,000 | 33 |
| 6 | William Remshardt | United States | 252,000 | 32 |
| 7 | Joey Couden | United States | 249,000 | 31 |
| 8 | Robert Mizrachi | United States | 242,000 | 30 |
| 9 | Fabrizio Gonzalez | Uruguay | 242,000 | 30 |
| 10 | Daniel Negreanu | Canada | 241,000 | 30 |
Also returning for Day 2 is Robert Mizrachi with a stack of 242,000, which was good for seventh place overnight. All five of Mizrachi’s WSOP bracelets have come in mixed games, plus he made a deep run in this event last year, falling just short of the final table. Expect Mizrachi to be one to watch as play resumes today.
Day 2 kicks off at 1 p.m. with blinds at 2,000/4,000 and limits of 4,000/8,000. Five 60-minute levels are scheduled before the field shifts to 90-minute levels for the rest of the tournament. Late registration will remain open until the start of Level 12, giving players a final shot to jump in before registration closes around 2:15 p.m. The plan today is to play through eight levels before the survivors return on Monday, June 2, for Day 3.
| Day | Date | Time | Blind Levels |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 2 | June 1 | 1 p.m. | 60 minutes (5 levels) + 90 minutes (3 levels) |
| Day 3 | June 2 | 1 p.m. | 90 minutes |
| Day 4 | June 3 | TBD | 90 minutes |

Heads up to a turn of 8♣7♣8♠4♥, Ernest Chevrette fired out a bet and was faced with a raise from Poker Hall of Famer, Erik Seidel. Cheverette made the fold.
The very next hand, Seidel called all three streets against Yuval Bronshtein and scooped the pot.
Bronshtein said, "You're good," after Seidel called the third barrel.
Seidel showed his aces and queens for top two pair.
