Day 2 of Event #90: $777 Lucky 7’s No-Limit Hold'em at the 2025 World Series of Poker has ended here at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas. A total of 348 survivors from the three Day 1 starting flights took their seats at the start of the day.
Those flights generated a total of 8,012 entrants, creating a prize pool of $5,447,118. All 348 returning players got paid, with a minimum cash prize of $2,800. The winner will take home a cool $777,777 and the coveted WSOP bracelet.
Team Girl Dads' 25k Fantasy Draft pick Patrick Leonard is still in the hunt for his second bracelet and will be looking to add to his $3,800,000 in lifetime earnings
Of the eight players who bagged up chips at the end of the day, Nicola Bracchi holds the chip lead going into Day 3 with 73,800,000. Bracchi has just over $50,000 in live poker earnings and is hunting down his first WSOP bracelet. Brachi picked up a chunk of his chips when he eliminated Justin Fawcett.
Hot on the heels of Bracchi are Allen Shen (58,700,000) and Hertsel Levy (54,500,000), who round out the top three. Shen has approximately $300,000 in live poker earnings & Levy has approximately $200,000. Both are looking for their first WSOP bracelets. Shen built a nice stack taking out Ronnie Bardah and also eliminating Zachary Habayeb. Levy won a big chunk of chips in a double elimination.

Allen Shen raised to 3,200,000 from the cutoff. Hayato Kitajima went all in with 17,600,000 from the small blind.

The action slowed to a grinding halt in four-handed play at one table and five handed at the other, On the four-man table, they played 10 straight hands, and 13 out of 14, without seeing a flop.
That changed quickly when the last table began with eight players. (The official final table will not begin until there are seven players remaining.)
On the second hand, Kieran Walsh raised to 2,400,000 from middle position. Nicola Bracchi raised to 6,000,000 chips from the cutoff.
Before he could pull his hand back from counting his raise, Hertsel Levy went all in on the button with his 86,000,000 chip stack.
Walsh got out of the way, but Bracchi quickly made the call, going all in with his 30,800,000.
Nicola Bracchi: A♥A♠
Hertsel Levy: Q♥Q♦
Perfect timing for Bracchi to hit a monster hand, and the runout of 6♦K♦2♠2♣A♦3♠ gave him a full house and huge double up.
