WSOP 2025 Day 24 Recap: Brian Rast Wins Seventh WSOP Bracelet, Conniff and Weiss Lead into Finals

Eight events took place on Day 24 of the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas as Brian Rast became a seven-time WSOP champion, Asher Conniff led the final three in the $1,500 NLHE Freezeout Event and Dennis Weiss dominated the penultimate day of the $25,000 PLO High Roller. The action was relentless at the Horseshoe and Paris casinos on the Las Vegas Strip.

Rast Rules Yet Again for Seventh Crown

Already a Poker Hall of Famer, it would be easy to have looked past Brian Rast as the final two player entered the extra day required in the $10,000 Razz Championship, otherwise known as Event #50 of the 2025 WSOP. Andrew Yeh held a commanding lead at several points heads-up and Rast not only came into play as the underdog, but got off to the worst start, quickly falling 6:1 down in chips.

If there is one defining characteristic about Rast, however, it is his durability, both long term in the game of poker and short term in any game he is playing. Living in the moment so consistently over many years has today put Rast in the most esteemed of company, sharing seven WSOP titles with other legends of the game such as Billy Baxter, Daniel Negreanu and Benny Glaser.  

It is more than the bracelet, however, to Rast. After coming back on the final day then again in poker terms, Rast reigned supreme in Razz and was emotional afterwards as one of the toughest titles of his poker career was confirmed. 
Afterwards, Rast told reporters that he was overhwlemed to have won in such demanding circumstances.

“I feel like no one ever deserves to win a tournament because it’s so crazy what has to happen to win,” he said. “I was very short at least twice, if not three times. I really liked my mindset on this one. I was just telling myself, even before the final table, just focus on your play. If you bust at this point, no matter what happens, you have a great life, you’re doing well, playing good poker and that’s all I can control.”

Those words of self-motivation worked wonder for Rast, as he captured the $304,644 top prize and WSOP gold for the seventh time.

“I was very happy how I played, and just these ups and downs, emotionally. That was the longest heads-up battle that I’ve ever had. Andrew made it really tough.”

Read all about the final table in our full recap, as Brian ‘Razz’ as Dan Jungleman Cates refers to him, reigned supreme in the low-hand game yet again in Las Vegas.

Weiss Leads Race for High Roller Gold in PLO

Dennis Weiss leads the race to win the PLO High Roller bracelet in Event #51, as five players remain. The event, which cost $25,000 to play and has a top prize of $2.29 million, had an incredible 489-player field and it is the German player Weiss who stacked up the most chips with one day to play. Building a massive stack of 28.45 million chips, Weiss’ closest rival is Michael Duek, the American having just 14.7 million chips by comparison.

On a day where players such as the WSOP Player of the Year leader Scott Bohlman (12th for $107,029), The Hendon Mob All-Time Money List leader Bryan Kenney (11th for $134,007) and the great Phil Ivey (6th for $394,531) all crashed out but made a great return on their entry fees, British hedge fund manager Talal Shakerchi    (12.3m), U.S. player Evan Krentzman (11.35m) and short stack Jeffrey Hakim    (6.55m) all survived to the final day too.
