Shaun Deeb Wins 2025 WSOP $100K Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller for Career-Best $2.95M and 7th Bracelet
Shaun Deeb has triumphed in the 2025 World Series of Poker Event #79: $100,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller, claiming his seventh WSOP bracelet and the largest cash of his career—$2,957,229. The prestigious tournament attracted 121 entries, creating a prize pool of $11,676,500. In the heads-up battle, Deeb defeated high-stakes legend Isaac Haxton to take home the title.
This victory surpasses Deeb’s previous best score of $1,402,683 from his win in the 2018 $25,000 PLO High Roller. With this result, Deeb’s total live tournament earnings now exceed $16.5 million, earning him a place among the top 100 on the Hendon Mob all-time money list.
After his win, Deeb spoke to PokerNews:
“Yeah, I mean, anyone could have won that tournament with the run of cards I had. I ran so above CHIP EV in every all-in. I really just won, so… there wasn’t much skill. I played really well pre-flop, I got outplayed post-flop I’m sure, but that’s kind of what I expected. I know how to reduce better players’ edge.”
Reflecting on the event, Deeb added:
“This is the best one. I’m probably going to play all summer to win. I appreciate all the staff here. The World Series does a great job, as hard as it is to run events of this scale.”
