Hertsel Levy Leads Field Starting Day 2 of $777 Lucky 7’s No-Limit Hold'em
Day 2 of Event #90: $777 Lucky 7's No-Limit Hold'em at the 2025 World Series of Poker begins at 11 a.m. today, with just 348 players returning to their seats.
Hosting three starting flights, the event at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas drew a total of 8,012 entries, surpassing last year's 6,292 and generating an unofficial prize pool of $5,447,118. Official prize pool and payouts will be posted when available.
Hertsel Levy sits atop the leaderboard with a towering stack of 3,405,000 chips, setting the pace for the chase to the bracelet. Hot on his heels is Gianluca Cabitza with 3,100,000, while Andrew Dean isn’t far behind, closing out the top three with 2,820,000.
However, the spotlight may soon shift. Patrick Leonard, one of the most feared names in the game, lurks just outside the top spots in 11th place with 2,175,000. A WSOP bracelet winner with more than $20 million in online earnings, Leonard is a serious threat to surge up the counts and take control of the narrative.
