The $10,000 Main Event was once again the biggest game in town on Day 40 of the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
Most of the floor was given over the glut of fish, sharks, and whales who swam onto the tournament floor with the dream of a bracelet twinkling in one eye and a mountain of cash piled up in the other.
However, three smaller events were also supposed to crown bracelet winners. Two of these events required an additional day to finish up, but the remaining bracelet event of the day went to Mike Gorodinsky.
Gorodinsky won his bracelet after Event #82: $10,000 Eight Game Mixed Championship returned for an unscheduled Day 4 to finish up the heads up portion of play.
Elsewhere, the Main Event's Day 1d played out, Shaun Deeb put himself three spots away from his eighth bracelet, and the $2,5000 NLH Freezeout played down to four.
