The second month of the WSOP 2025 is underway, and Canadian players are making sure they’re part of the closing fireworks. From deep final table runs to high-stakes heroics, the red and white continues to flash across chip counts and payout slips in every corner of the Horseshoe and Paris.
Daynard Finds a Run in the Mini Main
Connor Daynard put together one of the best Canadian runs of the summer in Event #75: $1,000 Mini Main Event, battling through a field of thousands to finish 11th for $70,690.
It was a gritty, patient climb for Daynard, who hovered near the top of the counts for much of the late stages. Though he ultimately fell just short of the final table spotlight, the score marks a career highlight and a deep run in one of the best value events of the series.
Negreanu Nabs Another Final Table—and Reloads
Daniel Negreanu kept his foot on the gas this weekend, making back-to-back deep runs across a pair of events. First, he navigated the high-variance waters of Event #76: $2,500 Mixed Big Bet and reached the final four before bowing out in 4th place for $60,792.
He wasted no time jumping into the next big challenge—Event #79: $100,000 PLO High Roller—and made immediate noise. Kid Poker bagged the 3rd biggest stack in the room with 2,800,000 chips, and is now firmly in the mix for what could be one of the largest scores of his WSOP career.
Livingston Still Swinging in Stud Hi-Lo
Alex Livingston continues to show why he’s one of Canada’s most reliable WSOP performers. He’s currently the last Canadian standing in Event #77: $10,000 Stud Hi-Lo, sitting 10th with 594,000 as Day 3 looms.
Livingston already has a final table this series and seems hungry for another, this time in one of the trickier mixed formats on the schedule. If he can scoop and split his way through another few levels, a second deep run is within reach.
Li on the Radar in PokerNews Championship
Event #78: $600 PokerNews Championship may not have the prestige of a $10K, but the massive field and unique branding have made it one of the week’s most fun events—and Jason Li is making move.
Li bagged 865,000 chips, good for 9th overall heading into Day 2. With a playable stack and plenty of value still on the table, Li could be setting up a breakout performance to cap off his series.
