Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2025 World Series of Poker, bringing you live updates from every bracelet event.
Today marks the start of Event #91: $1,500 Six-Handed Pot-Limit Omaha, a three-day event that shuffles up and deals at noon. Players sit down armed with 25,000 chips and play 40-minute levels on Day 1. Seventeen levels are scheduled, with 20-minute breaks every three levels. Reach the end of Level 9 at around 6:40 p.m., and you'll head on a 60-minute dinner break.
Late registration is available until the start of Level 10, after the dinner break, at about 7:40 p.m. Eliminated players are allowed up to two reentries.
Day 2 starts at noon on Friday, July 11, with another ten levels planned. Blinds extend to 60 minutes from Day 2 onward. Breaks of 15 minutes happen every two levels, and a 60-minute dinner break is penciled in for after Level 23 at around 6:30 p.m. The third and final day's start time is yet to be determined.
Joseph Sanders is this event's reigning champion. In 2024, he outlasted 1,305 opponents and won a $269,530 prize plus his first WSOP bracelet. Sanders admitted that he ran well on his way to victory, telling PokerNews that he was planning to parlay some of his winnings into the $3,000 version of this event later that series.
“I doubt I’ll run as pure as I did in this one, but I gotta give it a try, ya know?”

Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
How does one become the first to bust out of an event, just six minutes into play?
"It takes a lot of talent," Byron Hubert said.
Or just a bad full house.
Hubert got entangled with Eirik Milde on a flop that came 4x4x9x. Hubert had a four and boated up when a queen came on the turn.
Unfortunately, Milde already had a full house, having flopped nines full.
Hubert headed to the WSOP+ app to rebuy for the event which allows two reentries.
