As the 2025 World Series of Poker barrels into its final weeks, the Canadian crew is still racking up cashes, climbing leaderboards, and making their mark across every format the series can throw at them—from bargain-bin brawls to big-bet mayhem.

Dulberg Digs Deep in the Gladiator

In one of the summer’s most chaotic value-packed events, Michael Dulberg posted the best Canadian result in Event #67: $300 Gladiator No-Limit Hold’em, finishing 34th for a career-best $15,770.

The event attracted a truly massive field and a minefield of wild swings, but Dulberg kept his composure and banked his biggest WSOP score to date. It’s not every day you 50x your buy-in in a $300 event—but that’s the Gladiator dream, and Dulberg lived it.

Rawn Makes Final Table in 8-Game

Mixed-game specialist Elaine Rawn flew the Canadian flag deep into Event #74: $1,500 Eight-Game Mix, finishing 6th for $29,234 and grabbing a spot at one of the summer’s most technical final tables.

The 8-game is no joke—it demands solid all-around skills and endurance in formats most players haven’t touched in years. But Rawn held her own against a sharp field, picking up one of the standout Canadian finishes of the weekend and staking her claim as one of the country’s premier mixed-game grinders.

Taylor Charging in $10K PLO

Meanwhile, Thomas Taylor is right back in the thick of things. After a string of deep mixed-game runs this series—including a second-place finish in the $3K 9-Game—Taylor is turning heads again in Event #74: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship.

He ended Day 2 7th in chips with 1,645,000, and heads into Day 3 as the top Canadian left in the field. The $10K PLO is a playground for crushers, and Taylor has already proven he belongs in the conversation. Another final table sweat could be incoming.

Negreanu Back in the Big Bet Streets

And finally, Daniel Negreanu is back on the mixed-game grind in Event #76: $2,500 Mixed Big Bet—a wild format that rotates through games like No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw, Big O, and No-Limit Hold’em/PLO hybrid

Kid Poker bagged 188,000 chips, sitting 33rd overall as Day 1 wrapped up. With the field still wide open and plenty of creative spots left to play out, it’s another chance for Negreanu to run deep in one of the WSOP’s more offbeat events.
