WSOP Day 47: It's a Saturday in Las Vegas, here's what to watch for at the World Series of Poker.
The Main Event moves on to Day 6 with only 174 players remaining. It was a bloodbath of a Day 5 that saw big names like Alex Foxen and Michael Mizrachi bow out of the running. When the action resumes at 11:00am local time, we'll bring you all the big moments. Shaun Deeb is still in the mix – with a healthy stack no less.
Elsewhere in the Paris and Horseshoe ballrooms, Day 1D of the $300 Gladiators of Poker begins today at 10:00am local time.
We'll see Day 2 action in the $3,000 Mid-Stakes Championship where 923 players remain in the hunt.
The $50K High Roller will play down to a winner today. With 13 players remaining, the last of the big no-limit buy-ins will award a seven-figure prize to the eventual winner. Daniel Negreanu, Bryn Kenney, Erik Seidel, Kristen Foxen, and Chris Brewer are all still in the running.
In its first iteration at the summer series, the $1,500 Pick Your PLO drew a field of 857 entrants across Day 1. Now, only 10 remain and they'll play down to a winner today.
The $3,000 T.O.R.S.E. sees Day 2 play later today with 157 players remaining from a field of 457. It's a murderer's row of mixed game masters in there, but only one can be crowned champion.
And, last but not least, the $1,500 The Closer NLH kicks off the first of two Day 1 starting flights today.
50K High Roller gets tense. The final two tables are battling it out for a spot on Day 3. Negreanu is in the mix, but he now trails a mighty group. A few top chip-havers as the hour gets late:
Daniel Smiljkovic - 8.3M
Daniel Rezaei - 7.5M
Timur Margolin - 6.4M
Erik Seidel - 6M
Bryn Kenney - 4.6M
Daniel Negreanu - 4.6M
Matthew Shepsky wins $1K Mystery Bounty PLO ($305,000): He also gets his first WSOP bracelet after coming out on top of a huge field of 4,764. Shepsky beat Alex Manzano heads-up, with Chris Vitch finishing in fourth.
Better luck next year: In a post-elim interview with Jeff Platt, Michael Mizrachi's spirits were high despite the obvious disappointment.
"Whatever. It's all good. Next year, right?" he said. "It's been an amazing year. I can't complain."
No back-to-back Main Event wins for Mizrachi: The 2025 champ was bobbing and weaving late on Day 5 as only he can, but ran into it.
After moving in for his 365K with , 'Grinder' found a caller in 2019 Main Event winner Hossein Ensan. It was champ-on-champ violence for the third time today, but Mizrachi failed to improve against Ensan's pocket aces and his title defense came to an end.
"One of the most legendary players of all time," said Nick Schulman in the commentary booth. "We say good game to you, sir. Very."
Negreanu in the driver's seat: We've got a new chip leader in the $50K High Roller.
Negreanu's pocket aces held up against the pocket queens of Pavel Plesuv to deliver a monster pot to the Canadian and send the Moldovan to the rail.
With more than 4M in his stack, he now leads ahead of Daniel Smiljkovic, Bryn Kenney, and the rest of the field.
Alex Foxen out of the Main Event: Kristen Foxen will retain her grip on the record for deepest run in the Main Event within the Foxen household as her husband Alex is now out of the Main Event late on Day 5.
Foxen ran into it – twice over – when he jammed his 365K with . Ryan Miller called behind with
before Dan Stavila woke up with
in the big blind. It all went in the middle and Stavila's top boat delivered him a Foxen KO and more than 6M chips while Miller was left on fumes.
Suvarna bubbles $50K, players on dinner break: After notching a third bracelet earlier in the series, Santhosh Suvarna served as the bubble boy in the $50K High Roller NLH.
With his elimination, 31 players made the money – of which 29 now remain and are on dinner break.
Bryn Kenney holds a slim chip lead over the field, followed closely by Daniel Smiljkovic and Eelis Parssinen.
