What’s Happening in the Final Week of the 2025 World Series?

The remaining action in the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) features 15 new WSOP bracelet events and with the $10,000-entry WSOP Main Event World Championship progressing during the final days of the 56th annual WSOP too, everything is on the line as Las Vegas builds to a climax this summer. Who will take over from Jonathan Tamayo as the next world champion and who will win the $50,000 8-Max NLHE High Roller? We’ll find out in the next nine days.
Brand New Mystery Bounty Event Begins
With the WSOP Main Event progressing through Day 2 on Monday, there are no new events on that day in preparation for any potential record attendance in the World Championship with late registration still open. Tuesday, however, not only welcomes a $5,000 Super Turbo Bounty event in No Limit Hold’em but also a new $1,000 Mystery Bounty event in Pot Limit Omaha.
On Wednesday, the 8-Max High Roller event, which costs $50,000 to take on, kicks off at high noon for elite players who are no longer involved in the Main Event. Event #88 may be one of the last few events to produce a millionaire winner. The $4,00-entry NLHE Mid-Stakes Championship will likely welcome many of the ‘weekend warrior’ types of player who pack out WSOP Events on Fridays and Saturdays, and there is a special ‘Lucky 7s’ event on Thursday which costs – you guessed it $777 to play. Wonder who’ll hit the jackpot in that one.
Also on Thursday, there is a $1,500 buy-in 6-Max PLO event which is sure to fill up and if that doesn’t interest you, NLHE is back on Friday in the $1,979 Poker Hall of Bounty Event #92. Each and every former world champion who plays will have a bounty on their heads equivalent to the year they won, so Phil Hellmuth’s scalp in the tournament would be worth $1,989, representing his win in 1989. Let’s hope 2024’s Jonathan Tamayo turns up.
Mixing it Up
There are some great mixed games late in the WSOP schedule for 2025, so players who enjoys different variants to NLHE will be delighted to know that the end of the series is just as exciting as the beginning and middle.
The 8-Max T.O.R.S.E. event costs $3,000 to play and will welcome the kind of mixed game specialists such as Allen ‘Chainsaw’ Kessler, who seeks his first-ever WSOP bracelet. Starting on Friday night, it is exactly the sort of event that makes the WSOP So special for so many and Kessler himself was consulted prior to the schedule was put together, showing just how important he and other PokerStake mixed game players really are.
The 8-Max High Roller H.O.R.S.E. event costs $25,000 to play and begins on Monday July 14th as the final few days of the 56th annual WSOP play out. It represents the final chance for mixed game players to get their game on before the WSOP Circus tent packs up after some No Limit Hold’em events.
With the WSOP Player of the Year race possibly coming down to a few points, mixed games could yet prove the salvation of Benny Glaser or Shaun Deeb, both of whom have sold on PokerStake ahead of this summer. The current POY race has just 550 points between Shaun Deeb at the top and Scott Bohlman in fourth place, with Martin Kabrhel and Benny Glaser in second and third positions respectively.
No Limit Ending to WSOP
Of the final six events, four of them take place in No Limit Hold’em. Event #95 is a NLHE Deepstack that costs $800 to play as the last event of the series that is less than $1,000 to play. Event #97 is The Closer and is $1,500 to enter, kicking off next Monday, while the $5,000 8-Max NLHE event begins next Tuesday and could save someone’s summer.
The final event of the series is $1,000 to play and is the NLHE Super Turbo. Taking just one day to play, a similar event earlier in the series saw John Racener sprint from the delivery room where he and his wife welcomed their third son to the Vegas felt, whereupon Racener won his latest WSOP bracelet.
With just over a dozen bracelet events to come in the 2025 World Series of Poker, some of poker’s finest will be hoping they can make it a winning series for gold and profits as they show off their skills as the Horseshoe Las Vegas and the Paris ballroom in Sin City.
Here are all the remaining WSOP events to be played between now and the conclusion of the 2025 WSOP.
