Day 46: Friday, July 10

One bracelet was decided on Friday. Matthew Shepsky conquered the 4,764-entry $1,000 Mystery Bounty PLO for $305,000 and his first gold after the event spilled into an extra day.

The Main Event lost its defending champion, with Michael Mizrachi’s bid for the first back-to-back title since 1988 ending in 241st place. Zhao Liu leads the 174 survivors at 10,150,000, the only eight-figure stack in the room.

The $50,000 High Roller reached its final 13 behind Daniel Rezaei, and the Pick Your PLO its final ten behind a dominant Farhad Jamasi. The Gladiators of Poker and Mid-Stakes Championship ran their third flights, while the $3,000 T.O.R.S.E. launched with 457 entries.

Event #82: $10,000 Main Event NLH World Championship (Day 5)

Day 5 cut the field from 533 to 174 players, and the title defense is over. Michael Mizrachi ran his last chips into 2019 champion Hossein Ensan’s aces to finish 241st for $50,000, hours after a flush-over-flush cooler against Lara Eisenberg left him crippled.

Fellow former champions Greg Raymer (279th) and Ryan Riess (282nd) also fell for $50,000 each, leaving Ensan (3,450,000) as the last winner standing. No player has defended the title since Johnny Chan in 1987 and 1988.

Zhao Liu bagged the chip lead at 10,150,000 and has now reached Day 6 in consecutive years after finishing 161st in 2025. Shaun Deeb closed on 4,305,000, over 70 big blinds, keeping his push for a record third Player of the Year title alive.

POY leader Alex Foxen was less fortunate, exiting in 263rd for $50,000 after a day at the feature table. High stakes cash game regular Wesley Fei bagged 4,580,000, while Daniel Hachem (3,895,000) and Todd Brunson (3,690,000) chase the title their fathers won.

The first Day 6 elimination collects $57,500, with six-figure payouts starting at 80th place. Play resumes on Sunday, July 12 at 11:00 a.m.

Event #87: $1,000 Mystery Bounty PLO (BRACELET)

Matthew Shepsky captured his maiden bracelet and $305,000, plus over $20,000 in bounties, from the $4,192,320 total prize pool. The Chicago PLO cash game specialist entered the unscheduled third day seventh of 34 and eliminated seven of the final ten players himself.

Chile’s Alex Manzano fell heads-up for $204,000, short of a second bracelet. Three-time winner Christopher Vitch took fourth for $112,000 and pulled the $50,000 mystery chest on his final bounty ticket, capping a $69,000 haul from 21 knockouts.

Austria’s Wojciech Barzantny had collected 23 bounties worth $67,000 on Day 2 alone before exiting seventh. The win lifts Shepsky’s live earnings to just shy of $2,000,000, per Hendon Mob.

Week 6 produced 17 bracelets across seven days, the second-highest total of the summer. Daniel Negreanu claimed the week’s biggest score with his $100,000 PLO High Roller victory ($2,257,718), earning his eighth bracelet after two clutch river bluffs against Artur Martirosian in heads-up play.

Michael Mizrachi won the $10,000 PLO Championship ($1,350,203) for his ninth bracelet, becoming the eighth player in WSOP history to reach nine golds. He then entered the Main Event as defending champion and advanced through Day 1.

Shaun Deeb matched Mizrachi’s total by rallying from 300,000 chips to win the $1,500 8-Game Mixed ($181,625). Martin Kabrhel captured his sixth bracelet in Online Event #20 ($195,195) while simultaneously in the money in three separate live events.

Two events broke five figures in entries. The Mystery Millions drew a record 22,811 entries with Matthew Higgins claiming $1,000,000, and the Mini Main Event attracted 12,560 entries with Daisuke Ogita taking the same flat-million top prize.

Asi Moshe won his fifth bracelet in the $3,000 Freezeout ($683,830). Dzmitry Urbanovich finally earned his maiden gold in the $10,000 8-Game Mixed Championship ($431,260).

Week 1 Recap: May 26 to 31

The 57th WSOP opened on May 26 with the $550 Mini Mystery Millions, which built across six starting flights to a record 20,488 entries, the seventh-largest live event in WSOP history.

The first bracelet of the summer went to Jerome Neppl in the $500 Industry Employees event on Day 3. Daniyal Gheba ($5,000 8-Handed) and three-time winner Jason Daly ($1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo) followed on Day 4, the first golds awarded on the new Mothership stage.

The mixed games delivered three more. Yang Wang won the $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha and James Cheung the $1,500 Seven Card Stud on Day 5, before Michael Casella beat seven-time winner Nick Schulman heads-up to take the $1,500 Badugi on Day 6.

Week 1 also thinned the field of stars. Former Main Event champion Chris Moneymaker bowed out of the Badugi during Day 5.

Three-time bracelet winner Vanessa Selbst made a short-stacked charge before exiting the Omaha Hi-Lo in ninth. Reigning Player of the Year Shaun Deeb was knocked out in Round 2 of the Heads Up Championship.

Player of the Year Standings

Alex Foxen extended his Player of the Year lead to 3,134 points, his 263rd-place Main Event cash padding the total even as his run ended. Naoya Kihara sits second at 2,984, with Shaun Deeb third at 2,817.

The top three all receive a $100,000 WSOP Paradise package. Deeb is the only one of the three still in the Main Event, and his above-average Day 6 stack gives him a live shot at a decisive move in the race.

These standings reflect the official WSOP leaderboard as of July 11 with 13 events still to play.
