Two years ago, just after his final table appearance in the 2023 WSOP Main Event, Toby Lewis captured his first and to this day only WSOP bracelet in an online $2,500 freezeout. Although the decorated Englishman has scored nearly eight figures in lifetime earnings throughout his storied career, a live bracelet eludes him yet.
Today, that might change, as Lewis is one of only 16 players returning to the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas at 1 p.m. local time for the third and final day of Event #93: $3,000 T.O.R.S.E., a brand new format introduced at the 2025 World Series of Poker. With a stack of 1,985,000, or about 20 big bets, Lewis will return fourth in chips as the remaining contenders vie for the first-place prize of $273,386, the largest share of the $1,393,740 prize pool.
Lewis faces some stiff competition on the final day, as fellow 25K Fantasy pick David Prociak procured the chip lead on Day 2, a feat he also accomplished on the first day of the tournament. Prociak has already obtained three bracelets in the past nine years, all in different game formats, and will be looking to be crowned the first-ever WSOP T.O.R.S.E. champion after a rough summer without any final table appearances.
Other players in the top ten include Japanese mixed games whiz kid Ryutaro Suzuki, Australian poker legend James Obst, and two-time bracelet winner Ryan Miller.

While the players have locked up $13,819 for their efforts so far, all eyes will be on the six-figure payouts reserved for the top three, and of course, the glory that comes with conquering the first-ever WSOP bracelet in the T.O.R.S.E format.

Fal quickly bet, and Dauphinais snap-called. Fal tabled 7x5x4x3x2x for the nuts, seeing him chip up to nearly 25 big bets.
