It’s been another action-packed stretch for Canadian grinders at the 2025 World Series of Poker. Kyle Rosnes came within a few spots of claiming his first bracelet in the $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha, while Ryan Rivers and Ran Yi are both making serious pushes in massive-field events. Meanwhile, Ari Engel just made history, officially tying the all-time cash record with another deep run in the mixed games.

Rosnes Runs Deep in PLO for Career-Best Score

Kyle Rosnes has been quietly putting together a solid WSOP, and he made his biggest mark yet in Event #42: $1,000 PLO. The Vancouver native navigated a 1,469-entry field all the way to the final table and eventually bowed out in 5th place for $61,641—by far the biggest score of his career.

It’s a breakout performance for Rosnes, who’s been grinding the WSOP-Circuit scene and has come close before. With this deep run, he’s proven he can hang under the bright lights of the main stage—and it likely won’t be the last we see of him in the mix this summer.

Rivers Monster-Stacking; Ran Yi Charging in Salute to Warriors

Ryan Rivers is in great shape heading into Day 3 of the Monster Stack. With 3,025,000 chips, he’s sitting 7th overall and leading a pack of Canadian hopefuls still alive in the field. Event #37 drew a typically massive turnout, and as the money gets serious, Rivers is positioning himself for a deep run that could be life-changing.

In Event #45: $500 Salute to Warriors, Ran Yi is putting on a clinic. He bagged 1,066,000 chips after Day 1—good for 7th overall—and now enters Day 2 as one of the top stacks in the field. With 3,937 entries in this special charity event, Yi will have to navigate a huge field, but he’s already done the hard part by building a pile on Day 1.

Engel Ties the Record

Ari Engel continues to quietly build one of the greatest WSOP résumés of all time. He’s officially tied John Cernuto for the all-time cashes record at 597. With his latest bag in Event #47: $1,500 Mixed Omaha Hi-Lo/Seven Card Stud (195,000 chips, good for 13th overall), he will soon surpass Cernuto to become the all time leader. It’s an incredible milestone for one of Canada’s most prolific grinders, and he doesn’t look like he’s slowing down anytime soon.
