WSOP 2024 Highlights Day 25: Suvarna Close To Winning 2nd Bracelet In SHR

The sun has set on another day of action at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) 2024 hosted at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. The biggest news of the day was four-time bracelet winner Yuri Dzivielevski becoming five-time bracelet winner Yuri Dzivielevski after he won Event #53: $3,000 Nine Game Mixed (7-Handed). Originally scheduled to play down to a winner on Sunday, the WSOP opted to play Event #46: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold’em Championship down to a winner today too.

As a result, the event came to a close early with the victory of Khang Pham who won his first bracelet and $677,326. Elsewhere in the series, Phil Ivey made the final day of the Super High Roller, Phil Hellmuth came 15th in the Super Turbo event, and the Millionaire Maker prize pool passed the $8 Million mark.

Super High Roller: Santhosh Suvarna Second In Chips

Two days of super high roller action has got the field of Event #55: $250,000 Super High Roller No-Limit Hold’em right up to the money bubble. Day 2 ended with 14 players still in contention and 12 spots paid. 75 players participated which led to the final prize pool of $18,675,000 and a first place payout worth $5,415,152. Indian poker pro Santhosh Suvarna secured the second biggest stack behind chip leader Adrian Mateos.

Max Kruse started the day with some bad luck. Despite getting down to just a few big blinds, he was able to recover, spin up a stack, and make it all the way to the final table. He eventually busted in seventh followed by Pedro Madeira in sixth and Matthew McEwan in fifth. McEwan’s elimination was the last of the day. With a prize pool of $3,762,800, there will be $656,747 up top for whichever of the remaining quartet wins out. They will start to play down to the winner at 1 PM local time on 23rd June.
