The 2025 World Series of Poker at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas continued to deliver massive fields and memorable moments as Event #28: $600 Mixed No-Limit Hold’em / Pot-Limit Omaha Deepstack drew an impressive 2,775 entries, creating a prize pool of $1,398,600. The hybrid format attracted players from all backgrounds and skills, as a $600 buy-in provides one of the cheapest routes to WSOP glory.
In the end, it was American pro Tyler Brown who emerged victorious, claiming his second career bracelet along with $178,126 for the win. Brown outlasted Norway’s Bjorn Gravlien in a heads-up battle, denying the Norwegian his first bracelet and sending him home with a still-impressive $118,618.
For Brown, this marks yet another high point in a rapidly growing WSOP résumé. He made a splash in 2023 by winning the Mystery Millions event, defeating over 18,000 players and banking a cool $1 million.
Since that breakout moment, Brown has been knocking on the bracelet door repeatedly, reaching four WSOP final tables (including one earlier this summer) and posting finishes of 8th, 6th, 4th, and 2nd, the latter coming in last year’s $10,000 PLO8 Championship where he fell to Sean Troha.

Notably, all of those deep runs came in Omaha variants, a favorite format of his. With this win, Brown pushes his live tournament earnings past the $3.3 million mark.
Brown also made the news in this event as he didn’t want to color up every chip that he had. Instead, he wanted to keep one-third in smaller denominations, in order not to bother his tablemates for a change, when he was a big chip leader. According to Brown, the floor was not compliant, and some heavy words were exchanged. Well, if nothing else, it made a very memorable winner’s photo.
As for runner-up Gravlien, this was his second career WSOP final table, both coming in this very event. He finished fourth in the 2023 edition for $67,359, and his 2025 runner-up result marks both his first six-figure payday and his best result yet on poker’s biggest stage.
Brown was the only player at the final table with a WSOP bracelet to his name. Among those seeking their first was American grinder Noah Bronstein, a consistent presence at the WSOP over the years. Bronstein now has more than 130 WSOP cashes and an incredible dozen final table appearances, yet the gold bracelet eludes him. He finished fourth here, his fourth career fourth-place finish to go with three bronze medals and a runner-up in the $5,000 version of this event back in 2021.
Also making a notable deep run was five-time bracelet winner Calvin Anderson, who bowed out in 19th place for $7,770.

2025 WSOP Event #28: $600 Mixed No-Limit Hold’em / Pot-Limit Omaha Deepstack Final Table Recap
A total of 115 players returned for the final day of Event #28: $600 Mixed No-Limit Hold’em / Pot-Limit Omaha Deepstack, with cards in the air at 11 a.m. sharp. The tournament was determined to find a winner by day’s end, and after seven hours of action (plus a dinner break), the final table of nine was set. Tyler Brown led the pack with 23 million in chips (58 big blinds), closely followed by Easton Oreman, who entered the day as the biggest stack and still had 50 bigs in his arsenal. With a couple of short stacks at the table, fireworks were expected.
The first casualty of the final table was Jiaze Li. After action folded to Noah Bronstein in the small blind, he shoved with A♠J♣, and Li snap-called from the big blind with pocket tens. The flop 9♥Q♦K♥ kept Li ahead, but the turn 10♣ flipped the script, giving Bronstein a straight. The river bricked out, and Li exited in ninth place for $15,779.
Slovakia’s Oliver Tot was next to hit the rail, falling victim to the PLO round. He got all his chips in with pocket kings against Norway’s Bjorn Gravlien, who held pocket aces. The board J♠Q♠J♦2♣10♣ gave no help to Tot’s other cards, who finished in eighth place for $20,411.
Soon after, the rich got richer as Brown eliminated Caio Sobral in seventh. Brown put pressure on the Brazilian by moving all-in on the small blind and Sobral called with his last chips in the big blind with ace-six. Brown showed queen-nine and connected on a flop of Q♦2♦3♣. Turn and river were blank and Sobral hit the payout cage for $26,679.
Brown kept the pressure on. He opened from the hijack with jack-five, and Jacob Mendelsohn moved in with pocket fours. Brown made the call and found a five on the 5♣6♦2♠ flop. The board ran out with back-to-back tens, and Mendelsohn was gone in sixth for $35,235.
At this stage, Brown had more chips than the rest of the quintet combined. His next victim was Bryan Andrews who moved all-in from the cutoff and even though Brown saw eight-deuce on the big blind, the price was just too good. He ended up rivering a flush with his deuce on the 4♦7♦6♥5♦9♦ board, to knock out Andrew in fifth for $47,013.
For a bit of a change of scenery, the Norwegian Gravlien finally got into the elimination act during the next PLO round. Bronstein raised on the button and Gravlien re-potted from the big blind, with Bronstein calling all-in. Gravlien showed K♦K♥10♦2♦ and Bronstein had K♠Q♣J♥8♣. A low board gave no help to Bronstein, and the kings held to send him out in fourth place for $63,367 and another deep run for the American.
Just minutes later, Oreman raised the pot from the button, leaving himself just one chip behind. Both Gravlien and Brown called. On the 8♦2♣J♦ flop, Oreman committed his final chip. The 6♥ turn brought a bet from Gravlien and a fold from Brown. Oreman’s 7♣5♣5♦3♦ was drawing dead against Gravlien’s J♣10♠7♠5♠, and he settled for $86,268 in third place.
That much-needed double boost brought Gravlien into the heads-up match against Brown, trailing just 1.5:1 in chips, but the battle was short-lived. All the chips went in on a J♥7♦K♦ flop. Gravlien had continuation bet, Brown potted, Gravlien shoved, and Brown quickly called. Brown had flopped top set with K♣K♥Q♦6♠, while Gravlien was drawing with A♦10♦8♥2♥ for straight and flush possibilities. The 10♣ and 8♣ fell on turn and river, changing nothing. Gravlien collected $118,618 for his runner-up finish, while Tyler Brown captured his second career bracelet and the $178,126 top prize.
