Day 33 of the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas saw three more bracelets find three more wrists.

The biggest story of the day was Michael Mizrachi winning the $50,000 Poker Player’s Championship for the fourth time. This achievement — four victories in arguably the most prestigious event at the World Series of Poker — is unique. It also shunted Mizrachi into the similarly rarefied class of seven-time bracelet winners.

Meanwhile Yilong Wang won his first bracelet in Event #68: $3,000 No-Limit Hold’em, Alexander Wilkinson built upon a family legacy by winning Event #71: $10,000 2-7 Triple Draw Championship, and elsewhere at the series tournaments were playing out.

Defending Champion, Shiina Okamoto Has Chip Lead With Seven Remaining

Going into Day 4 of play, Shiina Okamoto remains in control of the Event #70: $1,000 Ladies No-Limit Hold’em Championship, maintaining the chip lead she has held since Day 2.

With just seven players left from the 1,368-strong field, and 7,500,000 in her stack, Okamoto is closing in on back-to-back wins and her second bracelet. She is the defending champion in this event, and came second in the 2023 edition.

Juliet Hegedus is Okamoto’s biggest threat in this endeavor. With 5,600,000 in front of her, Hegedus is the second biggest stack at the table. She also starts tomorrow seated in Okamoto’s big blind, ensuring a clash between these big stacks.

Stephani Hagberg (4,575,000) is just behind Hegedus in third place.

On the way to the final seven several big names exited on Day 3. Among them were Ruth Hall, Tamar Abraham, Allyn Shulman, Angela Jordison, and Poker Hall of Famer Barbara Enright.

The whole table will be hoping to grab the $184,094 first-place prize, culled from a prize pool of $1,203,840.

If you want to see who wins it, check in today at 4:00 p.m. when the final table restarts along with PokerNews’s live coverage. There will also be a live stream on PokerGO with a one-hour delay.
