Day 25 of the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas saw three new gold bracelets find three new wrists on which to rest.

Matt Vengrin won a bracelet in the $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha event. Vengrin has three previous runner-up finishes in WSOP events, but this was his first time taking a WSOP event down outright.

Rosborough won his bracelet in the $1,500 NLH Freezeout, beating Asher Conniff heads up and Weiss won the $25,000 PLO High Roller, emerging victorious from a tough final table that included poker legend Phil Ivey.

Just four players remain in Event #55: $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship chasing the $452,689 first-place prize.
