Plante Final Tables $1K NLH
Santiago Plante led the Canadian charge on the day with a deep run in Event #84: $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em. Plante made it all the way to the final table and walked away with a solid 9th-place finish worth $20,781. It was another strong showing from one of Canada’s most consistent tournament performers this summer.
Silverstein Climbs the Main Event Counts
Day 2abc of the 2025 World Series of Poker Main Event saw a host of Canadians return to battle, but it was Jonah Silverstein who stood out from the crowd. He bagged up 559,500 chips by day’s end, putting him 12th overall in the Day 2abc counts. With a ton of play still to come, Silverstein has positioned himself beautifully for a run toward the money—and possibly much more.

Sivabalasundaram Near the Top in Ultra Stack
Another big field brought another strong Canadian result in Event #85: $600 Ultra Stack. Prabakaran Sivabalasundaram finished the day with 1,160,000 chips, good for 27th overall heading into the next stage. With big paydays ahead and a ton of value still on the table, Sivabalasundaram is one to watch as the Ultra Stack continues to shrink.
