Day 29 of the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas was the perfect day for you if you're the kind of person who loves seeing your fellow players win WSOP bracelets. Three players became WSOP champions for the first time, helping themselves to big cash prizes, a place in poker's history books, and that all-important bracelet.

Sebastiaan de Jonge of the Netherlands took down Event #59: $1,000 Battle of the Ages for $335,390 and the first bracelet of his career. This event needed an unscheduled third day, but the wait was worth it for de Jonge, who defeated Argentina's Ignacio Sagra to become a WSOP champion.

The second bracelet awarded went to Moshe Gavrieli in Event #60: $3,000 Limit Hold'em 6-Handed. Gavrieli found himself heads-up against seasoned pro Scott Bohlman, who was hunting his third piece of WSOP gold. He openly admitted to PokerNewsthat the cards were with him today as he marched onto an impressive victory.

WSOP Circuit regular Craig Savage became a bracelet winner after outlasting a field of 5,082 entrants in Event #61: $500 No-Limit Hold'em Freezeout. Savage almost doubled his lifetime winnings when he reeled in this event's $229,628 top prize.

Michael Mizrachi Comes Out Firing On Day 1 of the $50,000 Poker Players Championship

Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi (849,000) has started fast out of the blocks in Event #66: $50,000 Poker Players Championship as he attempts to capture this tournament's title for a fourth time. Mizrachi triumphed in this star-studded event in 2010, again in 2012, before completing a remarkable hat trick in 2018.

Only Ali Eslami (903,000) and six-time bracelet winner Jeremy Ausmus (886,500) bagged more chips than the three-time PPC champion.

As you would expect from such a prestigious tournament, the list of 68 surviving players, from a Day 1 field of 88, reads like a who's who of the poker world.

Chris Hunichen (828,000), and Christopher Vitch (809,000) complete the top five, with such superstars as Erick Lindgren (710,500), Jon Kyte (699,500), Daniel Negreanu (662,000), Dario Sammartino (450,000), John Hennigan (438,000), Benny Glaser (392,500), Phil Ivey (380,500), Jason Mercier (375,000), and Mike Matusow (365,000) returning in the top half of the chip counts.

Play resumes at 1:00 p.m. local time with late registration open for the first three levels. Join PokerNewsthen if you want to read how poker's elite get on during Day 2's action.

Josh Reichard in Control As Millionaire Maker Reaches Final Seven

Josh Reichard has a staggering 16 WSOP Circuit rings to his name, yet a bracelet eludes him. That could be set to change in the next 24 hours because Reichard (84,300,000) leads the final seven in Event #53: $1,500 Millionaire Maker, where $1,255,180 awaits the eventual champion.

Nobody in the final seven has captured a bracelet before, but each of the six players standing in Reichard's way have reached this stage on merit. Jesse Yaginuma (55,700,000) and Jacques Ortega (37,700,000) are Reichard's closest rivals, although the latter's stack contains 39 fewer big blinds.

Jeffrey Tanouye (31,900,000), Alejandro Ganivet (29,305,000), and two-time World Poker Tour (WPT) champion James Carroll (24,000,000) make up the rest of the field, although they're not only there to make up the numbers.

The final day's action starts at 4:00 p.m. local time and will be streamed on PokerGO on a one-hour delay.

Thomas Boivin Bags Big Again, This Time in the $5,000 NLHE 6-Max

Belgium's Thomas Boivin (2,005,000) again finds himself near the top of the chip counts in a high buy-in event, this time Event #62: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed. Having already finished 12th in the $1,500 edition of this event, and third in both the $100,000 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller and $250,000 No-Limit Hold'em Super High Roller, Boivin returns to the action in this event third in chips.

Germany's Robert Ashelm (2,665,000) leads the 54 surviving players back into battle on Day 3. Spain's Samuel Bernabeu (2,160,000) occupies third place when play resumes.

Lower down the counts and in with a genuine shot at the $855,515 top prize are Niall Farrell (1,735,000), Thomas Muehloecker (1,405,000), Jake Schwartz (1,080,000), Anthony Zinno (750,000), 2014 WSOP Main Event champion Martin Jacobson (505,000), and Ryan Leng (410,000).

Day 3 of this exciting event shuffles up and deals at 12:00 p.m. local time, and it should end with the player count being in single digits.

$1,500 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Ends With 11 Players Including the Reigning Champion

Event #63: $1,500 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw is down to only 11 players, including the reigning champion Aaron Cummings (1,025,000). Winning a tournament twice is unlikely, but capturing back-to-back titles is extraordinary.

Cummings returns to his seat in the middle of the pack. He'll have to contend with bracelet winners Andres Korn (1,970,000), Nathan Gamble (1,500,000), and Brandon Shack-Harris (550,000), $25K Fantasy Draft pick Jon Turner (710,000), and chip leader Hideki Nakamura (2,920,000) of Japan.

Play resumes at 1:00 p.m. local time on June 25 with the plan to crown a champion. Will that champion be the same as last summer? Stay tuned to PokerNewsto find out.

Aaron Cummings Wins His First Bracelet In Lowball Triple Draw Event

Kenna James Flies High On Day 1 of the $1,000 Super Seniors

A bumper crowd of 3,328 players turned out for Day 1 of Event #64: $1,000 Super Seniors, but only 860 hopefuls found a bag at the close of play. Menahem Asher (280,000) claimed the overnight chip lead by a mere big blind from Ronald Hunt (278,000).

Kenna James (212,500) has WSOP cashes dating back to 2001, yet he has still not won a bracelet. A fourth-place finish in the $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em event in 2003 is the closest Kenna has come to capturing a bracelet. He'll be hopeful of going three places deeper in this tournament.

Dozens of seasoned poker veterans progressed to Day 2. They include John Esposito (172,000), Daniel Lacourse (148,500), Gary Benson (108,000), Robert Cheung (89,500), Allyn Shulman (83,000), Dara O'Kearney (72,000), and David Sklansky (23,500).

The 860 remaining Super Seniors return to their seats at 11:00 a.m. on June 25 to play another ten levels.

Brett Lim to Sail Off into the Sunset After Senior's Championship Win

Some 1,373 Teams Enter the $1,000 Tag Team Event

Event #65: $1,000 Tag Team saw 1,373 teams battle it out at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, but only 276 of them made it through to the second day's play. French duo Louis Seguin and Hugomanuel Robertblacker (436,000) bagged the overnight chip lead, but there's a lot of poker still to be played.

Poland's Kacper Pyzara and Dzmitry Urbanovich (279,000) bagged up enough chips for a place in the overnight top ten. Pyzara was responsible for most of the team's chips because Urbanovich was busy grinding away in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship.

The team of Jamie Kerstetter and Corey Paggeot (194,5000) has started well, as has that of Ran Kadur and Ran Koller (189,000), Cody Daniels and Alan Keating (178,000), and Germany's Sandra Naujoks and Jan-Peter Jachtmann (93,000).

Day 2 of this event starts at 11:00 a.m. local time on June 25.
