Friday at the 2025 WSOP Circuit Nottingham felt almost like a copy/paste of Thursday: another strong Main Event flight, another guarantee smashed, and another shiny WSOP Circuit ring awarded at Dusk Till Dawn.
When the registration cage closed its window, the Day 1B counter for the £1,500 WSOP Circuit Main Event (with its cool £1,000,000 guarantee) settled at an impressive 195 entries. 30 players survived and bagged their way into Sunday’s Day 2. At the top of the Day 1B leaderboard sits Robert Mcadam with a massive stack, followed by Michael Rosaman.

But while Main Event grinders might have focused on simply surviving, another part of the room was all about newfound jewelry. Friday was the celebration day for all four-card lovers, as the only non-Hold’em tournament on the schedule rolled into town: the £300 Pot-Limit Omaha ring event.

Ron Tai Continues His Hot Streak
A total of 149 action-hungry players jumped into WSOP Circuit Event #8: £300 PL Omaha, each pledging £300 toward the prize pool (and a small bit to the tournament fees), and as has become tradition this week, the guarantee didn’t stand a chance.
The £15,000 guarantee was demolished, with the tournament closing at a hefty £40,230 prize pool. In the end, 23 players hit the payout desk, but none earned more than Roni Tal, who outlasted the entire field and defeated Ben Shannon heads-up to capture the WSOP Circuit ring, the £9,685 top prize, and a $5,000 WSOP Paradise package for December’s $2,750 Mystery Bounty bracelet event in the Bahamas.
Tal is quite on a streak lately, as this is his third win over the last five months. This summer in Las Vegas, the London-based poker player won the $250 PokerNews Daily Deepstack for $29,254. A month later, he took down the £800 GUKPT London Midi Main for a career-best £36,650. Now, he adds a coveted WSOP Circuit ring to his trophy cabinet.
And with a dream poker trip to Atlantis Resort now secured, the question is whether Tal can one-up his latest results this December in Paradise? We at poker.pro certainly wish him all the best.

Robert Mcadam Bags a Monster Stack in Day 1B of the Main Event
From 116 entries on Thursday’s Day 1A to 195 entries on Friday’s Day 1B, the £1,500 WSOP Circuit Main Event is gaining serious momentum. With 311 entries already locked in across the first two flights, the event is now on a strong trajectory to surpass its £1,000,000 guarantee.
After 16 levels (good for 12 hours of play), the 15% survival threshold was reached, ending the night with 30 players progressing to Sunday’s Day 2. They will join the 17 Day 1A survivors for what promises to be a huge field chasing circuit gold and life-changing money.
If some players on the list below were simply surviving, Robert Mcadam, on the other hand, was absolutely flying. The Chester-based grinder ended Day 1B as the only player across both completed flights to bag more than a million chips, finishing with a towering 1,612,000.
Mcadam is no stranger to the WSOP Circuit spotlight. Last year, he shipped the £230 WSOPC Monster Stack right here at Dusk Till Dawn for £14,490, earning his first circuit ring. And as it looks like he knows how to handle monster stacks, which will get very useful when the Day 2 kicks off on Sunday.
Second in chips is Michael Rosaman, who closed the night with an impressive 764,000. Don’t be fooled by the gap between him and Mcadam, as this stack actually surpasses Day 1A chip leader Thomas Hall’s 609,000.
Rounding out the Day 1B podium is Oliver Bell, who bagged a healthy 605,000, locking up a strong Day 2 starting position of his own.
Play continues today at noon local time with Day 1C of the £1,000,000 GTD WSOP Circuit Main Event.
