Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Day 2 of Event #97: $1,500 The Closer No-Limit Hold’em at the 2025 World Series of Poker, held at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, gets underway at 11 a.m. local time, where 317 players will return to battle it out for one of the final bracelets of the summer.

A total of 4,297 entries were tallied across Day 1a and Day 1b, with Robert Nemeskeri-Kiss leading the way after bagging the biggest stack of 3,125,000 on Day 1b. Coming in second in chips is the Day 1a chip leader Julien Vanpelt with 2,765,000, while Jared Hyman rounds out the top three with a healthy stack of 2,645,000.

Top Ten Chip Counts

Rank	Player	Country	Chip Count	Big Blinds
1	Robert Nemeskeri-Kiss	United States	3,125,000	104
2	Julien Vanpelt	France	2,765,000	92
3	Jared Hyman	United States	2,645,000	88
4	Leo Lombardozzi	France	2,545,000	85
5	Everett Carlton	United States	2,310,000	77
6	Zhen Cai	United States	2,300,000	77

8	Peter Walsworth	United States	1,735,000	58
9	Guy Naimi	United States	1,685,000	56
10	Jakob Miegel	Germany	1,655,000	55

One of the most decorated players returning to the felt today is Anthony Zinno, who bagged 840,000 during his opening flight. With over $12 million in live tournament earnings, according to The Hendon Mob, Zinno is known mainly for being a mixed-game specialist, as four of his five bracelets have come in these tournaments. However, despite this, Zinno has a few tricks up his sleeve in no-limit hold'em and is certainly one to watch as the day progresses.

Roughly 34 bracelet winners have made it to Day 2, including Lukas Zaskodny (1,335,000), Cole Ferraro (1,155,000), Kyle Julius (1,115,000), Barry Hutter (950,000), Ronnie Bardah (805,000), Pei Li (755,000), four-time bracelet winner Jeff Madsen (610,000), and Benny Glaser (50,000), who’ll be looking to spin up a stack if he wants to have a chance of winning his fourth bracelet of the series.

Players return to Level 23 with blinds of 15,000/30,000 and a 30,000 big blind ante. The levels will continue to be 30 minutes in length, and the plan is to play until a champion is crowned. The official prize pool and payouts will be announced shortly after the cards get in the air, as all players are in the money. Expect fast-paced poker, with 15-minute breaks every four levels and a dinner break before the final table.

Stay locked in with PokerNews throughout the day for chip counts, big hands, and bust-outs from one of the last few events of the 2025 World Series of Poker.

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Michael Mizrachi has all the chips with four players left in the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. Okay, not technically all the chips. But he'll enter the $10,000 buy-in tournament's last session on Wednesday with over 75% of all chips in play.

"The Grinder," a seven-time WSOP bracelet winner, will return to Horseshoe at 2 p.m. (3 p.m. livestream on PokerGO) with 445,500,000 chips, good for 178 big blinds. Two players — Braxton Dunaway and Kenny Hallaert — have 10 or fewer big blinds. John Wasnock, second in chips, has 94,500,000.

Stewart Morrison

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Amir Mirrasouli moved all in from early position for 30,000, before Carlos Chadha-Villamarin, in the cutoff, reshoved for 305,000. Colin Jung then moved all in from the button, for roughly 580,000, and all remaining players folded.

Amir Mirrasouli: 4♠4♣ All in
Carlos Chadha-Villamarin: A♠J♠ All in
Colin Jung : A♣Q♥

The pocket fours of Mirrasouli kept the lead across the K♦K♣2♥10♠3♣ runout, seeing him pull in five times as many chips as he had put into the pot. Jung kept the lead versus Chadha-Villamarin with a superior ace-high, seeing the latter hit the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
Colin Jung	825,000 120,000	120,000
