Structure and Schedule

Day 1 begins at 2:00 p.m. local time on June 1, with each player starting with 25,000 chips. Those wishing to enter this tournament fashionably late can do so up to the end of the ninth level, which should be around 8:45 p.m. local time. Two re-entries are permitted during late registration. The plan for Day 1 is to complete 15 levels, with 15-minute breaks every three levels. Those levels last 40 minutes on the opening day.

Surviving players return to their seats from 1:00 p.m. local time on June 2 for Day 2. Here, the clock runs for 60 minutes and remains at that length until a champion is crowned. Day 2 continues until 10 levels are done and dusted. Fifteen-minute breaks are scheduled every two levels, with a 60-minute dinner break penciled in after Level 21 (approx. 7:30 p.m. local time).

The third and final day takes place on June 3 at a yet-to-be-determined time. Scheduled 15-minute breaks occur every two levels, with the decision on whether to have a dinner break to be made during play.

Throughout all three days, the games change every eight hands. Those games are Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better, Fixed Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better, and Big O.

Past Champions & History

British superstar Benny Glaser captured the title and bracelet at the 2025 WSOP. It was his second bracelet of the series and his seventh overall after he won the $1,500 Dealer's Choice only four days earlier.

"I'm feeling amazing," Glaser said shortly after winning his heads-up battle against runner-up Travis Pearson. "This one feels more outrageously surreal. It still hasn't sunk in. (Heads-up) was really a tough battle. I was overall impressed with how (Pearson) played. I hadn't really played him before this tournament. There were one or two hands that were pretty rough, but I was able to re-center myself back in."
