The 25K PLO High Roller Tournament attracts top players.

As one of the most anticipated PLO events at this year's WSOP, the $25,000 PLO High Roller event attracted 370 entries, with a total prize pool exceeding $8.7 million.

After two days of fierce competition, only five contestants remain to compete for the championship and the gold bracelet.

Alex Foxen leads the field with over 15,000,000 chips, giving him a clear advantage at the final table.

It's worth mentioning that Foxen had already won the WSOP Event #22:$10,000 Super Turbo Bounty, so if he can win this title, he will become one of the few players to achieve a double championship in this series.

The final table lineup is star-studded.

Although Foxen is currently in the lead, the other players at the final table are equally strong.

The five finalists are:

Daniel Negreanu's advancement has garnered particular attention.

After being eliminated on his first hand with his first bullet on Day 1, Negreanu re-entered and fought his way to the final table, once again demonstrating the resilience and adaptability of a top professional player.

If he wins the championship, he will receive his eighth WSOP gold bracelet.

Calvin Anderson successfully won the championship.

The most important championship news of Day 23 came from Event #48:$10,000 Razz Championship。

Mixed game legend Calvin Anderson ultimately defeated Eric Rodawig in heads-up play, winning the $306,644 prize and his sixth WSOP gold bracelet.

This is his second WSOP $10,000 Razz Championship win since 2018.

From leading the scoreboard on Day 1 to ultimately lifting the championship trophy, Anderson controlled the pace of the game almost the entire time, proving once again that he is one of the top hybrid game players today.

The number of participants in the Seniors Championship continues to rise.

Another major event, Event #49:$1,500 Seniors ChampionshipIt also attracted a lot of attention.

By the end of Day 2, the tournament had accumulated over 7,500 participants, making it one of the most popular events at this year's WSOP.

After fierce elimination, only a few hundred contestants remain to compete for the championship.

Thomas Ratkovich from the United States is currently in the lead, while several WSOP bracelet winners still have a chance to win the title.

Monster Stack sets a new popularity record

Event #51:$1,500 Monster StackIt also garnered immense popularity.

Day 1A attracted over 3,200 participants, making it one of the most popular starting classes in this year's WSOP.

As subsequent starting categories unfold, Monster Stack is poised to set a new historic record for participation.

Foxen is just one step away from a double crown.

Alex Foxen is undoubtedly one of the most successful players at this year's WSOP.

In addition to winning his fourth gold bracelet earlier, he has achieved excellent results in many high-stakes buy-in tournaments.
