The penultimate day of Event #96: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Six-Handed at the 2025 World Series of Poker has wrapped up, with 21 players set to return tomorrow to battle for the $471,170 top prize and the coveted WSOP bracelet inside the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas.
After ten 60-minute levels, Brad Albrinck bagged the biggest stack with 5,140,000 and is the only player to cross the five-million chip mark. Albrinck got a huge double-up shortly after the dinner break, by betting every street and then jamming the river against Robert Fenner. After a long tank, Fenner called and lost the pot to Albrinck’s full house. Still chasing his first WSOP bracelet, Albrinck now finds himself in prime position to change that tomorrow.
Day 2 Top Ten Chip Counts
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Brad Albrinck | United States | 5,140,000 | 129 |
| 2 | Ryan Leng | United States | 4,135,000 | 103 |
| 3 | Joshua Ladines | United States | 3,795,000 | 95 |
| 4 | Richard Gryko | United Kingdom | 3,060,000 | 77 |
| 5 | Fahredin Mustafov | Bulgaria | 2,800,000 | 70 |
| 6 | Zachary Schwartz | United States | 2,565,000 | 64 |
| 7 | Zarvan Tumboli | India | 2,500,000 | 63 |
| 8 | Joe Serock | United States | 2,395,000 | 60 |
| 9 | Alan Mehamed | France | 2,165,000 | 54 |
| 10 | Eemil Tuominen | Finland | 2,145,000 | 54 |
Second on the leaderboard when play resumes is Ryan Leng with 4,135,000, and is the only other player returning with over 100 big blinds. Rounding out the podium positions is Day 1 chip leader Joshua Ladines, who ended with 3,795,000. Ladines rivered a miracle straight to bust Zachary Reinbold on one of the final hands of the night, which helped secure his place near the top of the chip counts when play wrapped up.
The day began with 198 four-card enthusiasts returning from a field of 1,088. The first goal for everyone on Day 2 was to reach the final 164 players and lock up at least a min-cash. Early in the day’s second level, hand-for-hand play began, with the next player to bust being the last to leave empty-handed.
Unfortunately for Canada’s Tara Dunn, she earned the unwanted title of bubble girl for this event after getting it all in on the turn against Jorryt van Hoof. Dunn had almost half the deck to hit on the river to stay alive, but a blank was delivered. Van Hoof’s pocket aces held to win the pot and guaranteed the remaining 164 players would walk away with at least $6,005.
The eliminations came quickly after the bubble burst. Among those who exited were Phil Hellmuth, Danny Wong, the 2023 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event champion Max Neugebauer, Anthony Zinno, and mixed game specialist Xixiang Luo. Also busting today was three-time bracelet winner Nick Guagenti, whose flopped top two pair ended up second best to the rivered flush of Garik Tamasian.
Still in contention for the bracelet and coming back for Day 3 are Richard Gryko (3,060,000), the 2024 WSOP Main Event final tablist Joe Serock (2,395,000), and three-time bracelet winner and 2023 Player of the Year Daniel Zack (1,555,000). Joining them will be six-time bracelet winner Jeremy Ausmus (1,500,000), Chino Rheem (865,000), and JC Tran (290,000), who sits at the bottom of the chip counts and has the most work to do when cards get back in the air tomorrow.
The final day of this three-day affair kicks off at 1 p.m. local time on Tuesday, July 15, with players returning to blinds of 20,000/40,000 and a big blind ante of 40,000. Everyone coming back has secured at least $20,616 for their efforts, but eyes will be on the $471,170 top prize from the $2,904,960 prize pool and the coveted gold bracelet that awaits the winner.

Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Frank Brannan got his last 400,000 into the middle from the small blind, with Jeremy Ausmus being the player trying to end his night early from the button.
Frank Brannan: A♠K♦J♥7♠ 
Jeremy Ausmus: A♥K♥Q♣3♠
The flop came down A♣Q♦9♥ to put Ausmus firmly in the lead with top two pair. The 7♣ turn gave Brannan a few more outs, but the 3♥ river wasn't one of them, and Brannan was out of the event in 23rd place.
At another table, Alfred Karlsson was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
With 270,000 in the pot Joshua Ladines checked from the small blind on the flop of 3♠2♦8♠, and Zachary Reinbold bet the pot from under the gun. Ladines jammed for Reinbold's remaining 230,000, causing Reinbold to cheers everyone at the table, before calling for is tournament life.
Zachary Reinbold: A♠K♠9♣2♥
Joshua Ladines: 7♦6♦6♠5♠
Reinbold was slightly ahead with the better flush draw and overcards, despite Ladines holding a pair of sixes. The 10♣ turn gave Ladines a few extra outs, and the 4♣ river improved Ladines to the nut straight. Reinbold headed to the rail, and Ladines increased his stack to around 4,000,000.

: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Zachary Reinbold opened the action to 70,000 after peeling his cards in the hijack. Eemil Tuominen then potted from the button, making it 265,000 to go. Action got back around to Reinbold, who paid to see a flop.
The dealer put out J♥5♥5♣ and, without much thought, Tuominen stuck in a big stack of periwinkle 100,000 denomination chips, which signified a pot-sized bet of 585,000. Reinbold went deep into the tank, and took a good few minutes before coming to a final decision. Sipping his beer, he showed the J♣ while folding the rest of his cards face down. "Good fold," Tuominen told him.

Zarvan Tumboli limped from the hijack, and Ryan Leng did the same from the cutoff. Yasheel Doddanavar then potted it to 165,000 from the button, and both players stuck around to see a flop.
All three checked on 6♦6♠K♥ which brought in the Q♣ turn. Here, Tumboli led out for 180,000, and only Doddanavar paid to see a river. When the 8♣ peeled off on the river, Tumboli sized up to 725,000. After some consideration, Doddanavar decided to let his cards go. "Pick two," said Tumboli, spreading his cards across the felt. Doddanavar turned K♣7♣ over.
