Del Pino has amassed more than one million in earnings, according to The Hendon Mob, as he searches for his first WSOP bracelet. The Spaniard has been active this summer and has cashed in four events heading into this event, making this his fifth cash of the 2025 World Series of Poker. His highest finish came in Event #68: $3,000 No-Limit Hold’em, where he recorded a 20th place finish for $31,751.
Del Pino is guaranteed to surpass that regardless of where he finishes in this event, as the minimum cash moving forward is $34,124. Should Del Pino win, it will nearly double his total recorded live earnings.
High Roller Leonard Maue is an experienced player at these stakes and has tallied five total cashes, including this event, so far at the 2025 WSOP. Maue is coming off an 11th-place finish in Event #88: $50,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold’em, where he cashed for $175,048.
Maue came close to a bracelet in the six-handed format back in 2019 when he finished fourth. He will look to add the WSOP bracelet to the mantle for the first time in his accomplished career.
Notables Mike Watson (970,000), Daniel Negreanu (935,000), Sam Soverel (925,000), and Sean Winter (815,000) are still in the chase as the tournament heads into Day 3.
