Martin Kabrhel Advances to the Final Table of the 250K Super High Roller
The highest buy-in event of WSOP 2025, Event #46: 250.000$ Super High Roller, wrapped up Day 2 with just eight players left fighting for the title and a top prize close to 5 million dollars. Leading the pack headed into the final day is Thomas Boivin, who bagged a massive 28.025.000 chips. Ben Tollerene sits in second with 15.450.000, while three-time WSOP champion Alex Foxen rounds out the top three.
Martin Kabrhel, who was chip leader after Day 1, is still in the mix for his fourth WSOP bracelet. After slipping through the counts on Day 2, he returns for the finale with 3.675.000 chips. Regardless of final placement, the Czech standout is guaranteed at least a 581.411$ payout but still has a shot at much more.
Kabrhel continues to capture the attention of the poker world. His strong performances are complemented by his controversial and, for many fans, entertaining behavior at the table. Daniel Negreanu, who shared the spotlight with Kabrhel at one point but ultimately busted in ninth place, added extra heat to the action.

Viktor "Isildur1" Blom Closes in on His First WSOP Bracelet
The spotlight is back on Viktor “Isildur1” Blom in Event #44: 10.000$ Big O Championship, with just five players remaining. After a runner-up finish in the 10.000$ Limit Hold’em only two days ago, the Swedish legend is once again at a WSOP final table and has another real opportunity to capture his first gold bracelet.
This is already Blom’s fourth final table appearance of the summer, and he returns for Day 4 second in chips with 5.095.000. Should Blom go all the way, he’d join the ranks of online legends who conquered the WSOP live stage.
Only the experienced Marco Johnson holds more chips after Day 3. Johnson, a two-time bracelet winner, even pulled off a rare Royal flush on his path to chip leader status. The winner will walk away with 784.353$, and all remaining players have locked up at least 181.069$. Alongside Blom, Veerachai Vongxaiburana and Shawn Rice are chasing their first bracelets, while Phil Hui is looking to secure his fifth title at the WSOP.
