Over a hundred submissions advanced to Level 3
The 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event is underway, and the crowd is buzzing with excitement as some of the world's top poker players take to the tables. Notable attendees include Pete Fylyma, Trevor Argue, Debi Loomer, Hongwei Liu, "Handsome" Gord Chester, Jordan Banfield, Amir Khan, and Todd "The Rock".
As Level 3 nears its end, the current pace suggests that today's field might surpass the 1a field before the first break of the day. With approximately 110 entries already in the field at the time of this paragraph, the total number may change as the level progresses. The exact number of entries in the 1a field is not specified, but it's known that 18 more entries are required for it to match today's field.
Currently, at Level 3, San Kim tops the leaderboard with 799,000 chips, closely followed by Fernando Rodriguez with 749,000 chips and Romain Locquet holding 673,500 chips. Other prominent players advancing with large stacks at this stage are Nazar Buhaiov from Ukraine and Ibrahim Senoussi from France, each with over 600,000 chips.
Recent notable winners linked to this series include Michael Mizrachi, who won the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event and earned $10 million, marking his eighth WSOP bracelet win. The Player of the Year standings also feature top performers such as Shaun Deeb, Benny Glaser, Michael Mizrachi, and Martin Kabrhel.
Earlier levels saw the participation of recognised pros like Scott Blumstein (2017 WSOP Main Event winner), Brandon Steven, Wesley Fei, and Ralph Wong, particularly in Day 1A, indicating a strong field of experienced competitors.
The first break of the day is scheduled for approximately 40 minutes from the time of this paragraph. As the competition heats up, spectators and players alike are eager to see who will emerge as the chip leader and potentially the champion of the 2025 WSOP Main Event.
Spectators and players are discussing the possibility of combining casino-games like poker with sports events, such as football, during breaks at the casino-and-gambling venue. San Kim, the current leader, might tailor his casino-games strategy to the pace of football matches, potentially influencing his performance in the WSOP Main Event.
