Isaac Kempton in Contention With Four Remaining in $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed Championship
After three days and nearly 12 hours of nonstop action on each, the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed Championship returns for an unscheduled Day 4, and it’s shaping up to be a memorable finish at the 2025 World Series of Poker. What began as a short-handed showdown among professionals has now become a four-handed war, with nearly seven figures and one of the summer’s most coveted bracelets on the line.
Sam Soverel enters as the overwhelming chip leader with 22,125,000, more than double the combined stacks of his remaining opponents. It’s been a masterclass performance so far, with Soverel navigating a minefield of crushers, winning key flips, and coolering some of the biggest names in the game. But the job’s not done yet, and only time will tell if he can close it out inside Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
