Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
The third and supposed final day of Event #84: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2025 World Series of Poker has just come to a close at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. The 1,088 entrants that sat down on Day 1 have now been whittled down to just four, as no winner has yet been decided.
The remaining competitors, who will be returning tomorrow for an unprecedented fourth and final day of PLO, will be battling it out for a huge payout of $471,170, which is the top score of a prize pool that ended up totalling $2,904,960.
Top of the leaderboard is Richard Gryko, who has already locked up a seven-figure Omaha score this series, with 15,625,000 chips. 2022 WSOP Player of the Year Daniel Zack is hot on his heels with 13,250,000, as Day 1 chip leader Joshua Ladines (7,825,000) and Zachary Schwartz (6,825,000) round out the counts.
Seat Assignments for Final Day
| Seat | Player | Country | Chips | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Zachary Schwartz | United States | 6,825,000 | 17 |
| 2 | Daniel Zack | United States | 13,250,000 | 33 |
| 3 | Richard Gryko | United Kingdom | 15,625,000 | 39 |
| 4 | Joshua Ladines | United States | 7,825,000 | 19 |
Only 20 players took to the felt at the start of day two, a number that was supposed to be one higher. Elior Sion didn’t make it in time, and unfortunately, blinded out, outlasting just two players. With an average stack of just over 50 big blinds at the start of the day, eliminations were relatively few and far between to start the day. Chino Rheem, was the first to head home after a single hand, with JC Tran departing shortly after. It would take almost three full levels to get down to two tables, as [PLAYER="yasheel-doddanavar"]Yasheel Doddanavar/PLAYER]'s exit spurred the second redraw of the day.
The eliminations didn’t end there, however, with Fabien Motte and Cuba Levenberry walking away with $33,311 for their efforts. Brad Albrinck then just missed out on the final table, along with Ryan Leng. Once the official final table started with six players remaining, chips certainly weren't flying, but rather being passed around between the players, as it took more than two full hours for a player to exit.
That player, unfortunately, was the most accomplished at the table in Jeremy Ausmus, whose kings were unable to crack the aces of Schwartz. With his departure, only two bracelet winners (Zack and Gryko, both accomplished Omaha pros) remained, meaning there was a big chance for the bracelet to go to a first-timer.
It also took an extremely long time for five to become four, even prompting Fahredin Mustafov to jokingly accuse his table-mates of chip dumping, following an incredible five consecutive all-in and calls where the short-stack stayed alive. Unfortunately, Mustafov was the next to leave, as his turned boat lost out to Gryko's rivered one.
