Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
After 22 levels of play, Day 1 of Event #95: $800 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack at the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas has come to an end. A total of 2,851 joined the field throughout the action-packed day to create a prize pool of $1,995,700 with 428 places being paid. The winner of this event will take home $252,386 and the prestigious World Series of Poker bracelet.
The bubble burst quickly, soon after dinner break, and a min-cash of $1,649 was split between two players, Chad Awerbuch and Rene Majed. After that, players were dropping fast and furious.
Two-time WSOP bracelet winner, (one of which came in the 2009 WSOP Europe Main Event) Barry Shulman sits in sixth place on the leaderboard with 1,695,000. With over $6 million in career poker earnings, he’s a formidable presence at the table and should not be underestimated.
When the day’s action came to a close, Danny Gonzales, was the chip leader according to the WSOP+ app, with 2,250,000 in chips. With more than $1.5 million in reported poker earnings, he will be a force to be reckoned with on Day 2.
In second place is Lei Yu, who bagged 2,050,000 in chips. He has tournament cashes of over $3 million and will also be a formidable opponent. Third in chips is Hanseok Ko with 2,005,000; this would be a significant win for his poker resume.

Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
“I probably played better than the last three I won. Everything went my way this tournament. I was always at the top of the leaderboard, never really got short, and probably played my best overall.”
That's what Michael Mizrachi had to say after he cruised to victory in Event #66: $50,000 Poker Players Championship.
Already sharing the record for most $50,000 Poker Players Championship victories with Brian Rast, Mizrachi now stands alone after capturing his historic fourth title on Saturday at the 2025 World Series of Poker. "The Grinder" conquered the 107-entry field, earning $1,331,322 from the $5,162,750 prize pool and further cementing his legacy as the event's most dominant force.

The board ran out with J♣9♣J♥2♥7♠, and two pair was good for the win, allowing Mills to stay in the tournament.

Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Eric Manson limped in middle position and Peter Hengsakul raised to 70,000 in late position. Action folded to the big blind Ko Isayama who shoved all-in. Manson called putting himself at risk and pushing Hengsakul out of the pot.
Eric Manson: Q♠Q♦
Ko Isayama: A♠K♣
The flop came 6♦A♦A♣ giving Isayama trips and leaving Manson to hope for a miracle. The runout 10♥7♣ didn't help Manson. Manson headed to the payout counter as Isayama scooped the pot.
Even before anyone could take a breather from that elimination, Michael Nguyen raised to 45,000 from cutoff and was called by big blind Yuki Sakamoto to see a flop.
The flop came 4♣10♠3♥. With only 45,000 behind Sakamoto shoved all-in. Nguyen snap-called.
Yuki Sakamoto: 6♦5♦
Michael Nguyen: A♦Qx
Sakamoto was hoping to complete his straight against Nguyen's lead with ace-high. The turn 8♠ didn't help Sakamoto and the river A♣ improved Nguyen's hand to send Sakamoto to join Manson at the payout counter.
