Among the survivors, Shotaro Kobayashi emerged as the chip leader, looking strong as the tournament moves towards its business end. Kobayashi, a seasoned player, has been in impressive form, having won the 2023 World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) Main Event.

Thi Xoa Nguyen, a player with three cashes at the 2025 WSOP and under $100K in earnings, returns to Day 4 with over one million chips for her potential fourth Main Event cash.
The final 1,476 players will return on Wednesday to eliminate 15 players and burst the money bubble. Each returning player who survives the bubble will earn at least $15,000.
In a surprising turn of events, Michael Zulker eliminated Phil Hellmuth, and Simon Levy eliminated Daniel Negreanu from the tournament. Doug Polk, who promoted WSOP's rival, ClubWPT Gold, on the livestream before his elimination, was also bounced from the event.
