WSOP 2025: Day 14 Highlights

Day 14 of the 2025 World Series of Poker was a festival of poker variety, high‑stakes drama, and breakout performances — with four bracelets awarded and several marquee events careening toward epic conclusions. From double‑board bomb pots to stud specialists and a massive $25K No‑Limit Hold’em High Roller, the action on June 9 didn’t just deliver — it detonated.

Luo Bombs the Field in New Double‑Board PLO Event

The WSOP’s inaugural $1,500 Pot‑Limit Omaha Double Board Bomb Pot (Event #24) was always going to be mayhem — and Xixiang Luo thrived in it. Luo topped a field of 1,452 entries, clinching his third career bracelet and a payday of $290,400. Every hand started with a bomb pot and two boards, producing an avalanche of split pots, but Luo’s composure never wavered.

Guagenti Nails Stud Championship for Bracelet #3

The $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship (Event #25) drew an elite, 127‑player field, and Nick Guagenti emerged victorious. Guagenti’s third bracelet came with $295,008 and a final table that featured Chino Rheem, Paul Volpe, and Eric Friedman. “Stud is pure poker. No hiding,” Guagenti said as he lifted the trophy.

Chang Lee Ships $25K NLH for $1.95 Million and Debut Gold

The day’s richest prize arrived in Event #26: $25,000 No‑Limit Hold’em High Roller, where South Korea’s Chang Lee captured his first bracelet — and first WSOP cash — for $1,949,044. Lee outlasted 392 entries in a star‑studded field, continuing the surge of international champions at the 2025 Series.

Tyler Brown Claims Second Bracelet in $600 Mixed NLH/PLO

In Event #28: $600 Mixed No‑Limit Hold’em / Pot‑Limit Omaha Deepstack, Tyler Brown dominated a 2,775‑player swarm, earning $178,126 and bracelet No. 2. Norwegian runner‑up Bjorn Gravlien pocketed $118,618, while Noah Bronstein’s fourth‑place finish ($63,367) provided additional fireworks.

Day 14 Deep Runs & Developing Stories

Nick Schulman Leads in $10K 2‑7 NL Draw

Event #30: $10K 2‑7 No‑Limit Draw Lowball Championship began with 122 entries. Nick Schulman bagged the Day 1 chip lead at 322,500, trailed closely by Dan Smith (276,000) and Daniel Negreanu (273,000). Brian Rast, Shaun Deeb, and Huck Seed also lurk.

Extra Days for Bracelet Drama

Two events required unscheduled extra days:

• Event #15 ($1,500 PLO‑8 Hi‑Lo) — Benny Glaser and David Shmuel headline a Day 4 return.
• Event #14 ($25K PLO/NLH High Roller) — Ben Lamb staged a miracle comeback from two big blinds to bag 17 million and nearly half the final‑table chips.

British Rail Keeps the Faith

British pro Philip Sternheimer claimed third place in the $10K Dealer’s Choice for $154,460, his best World Series score since 2019. With Chris Moorman and other UK hopefuls still alive in mixed‑game and NLH fields, the Union Jack remains prominent.

Day 15 Outlook: High Rollers and Hero Runs

The Rio hall buzzes with anticipation as Tuesday’s schedule promises new champions and fresh storylines. Ben Lamb eyes seven‑figure glory in Event #14, while Nick Schulman seeks to convert yet another mixed‑game chip lead in Event #30. Deep‑stacked grinders such as Chris Hunichen, Scott Seiver, and Ian Johns continue to navigate crowded NLH fields, and Benny Glaser’s hunt for more mixed‑game gold resumes.

TL;DR

Reard, Hunichen, Negreanu, and Seiver headline Day 2 of several Day 1 survivors.

• Can Ben Lamb complete the comeback story of the Series?
• Will Nick Schulman convert another chip lead in a specialist event?
• Can international newcomers like Chang Lee keep the gold rush alive?
