WSOP 2025 Day 5 Recap: Three Winners Crowned, Daniel Negreanu Bags a Big Stack

Three champions were crowned on Saturday at the World Series of Poker, with Antonio Galiana, Caleb Furth, and Dan Heimiller all collecting bracelets.

The $25,000 Heads-Up Championship also reached the final four, Daniel Negreanu bagged a big stack in the $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship, and the $1,000 Mystery Millions saw the final starting flight conclude with a massive turnout. Here’s at events from the fifth day of action at the Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris casinos.

Galiana Comes Out on Top in $5K NLHE

After four days of play, Spain’s Antonio Galiana topped a field of 558 entries for his second bracelet and $582,008 in Event #3: $5,000 8-Handed No-Limit Hold’em. This comes after winning a $2,500 NLHE event last summer for $439,395. Frederic Normand finished runner-up and took home $387,979.

This was the first final table of the summer streamed on PokerGO and the new champion doubted he’d come out victorious until making a huge call against Uri Reichenstein in heads-up play that sent him a pot of more than 2.4 million chips.

“There was no point I really thought I was winning it … but after the bluff in heads-up — when he folded — I said, ‘Okay, now we’re even,’” Galiana said after the win. “Heads-up is one of my specialties in poker.”

Caleb Furth Collects Second Bracelet in $5K PLO

After staging a massive comeback, Caleb “Bruno” Furth won his second bracelet and $620,696 top prize in Event #5: $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha. This became his career high in winnings, with a lifetime total now at more than $2 million. The tournament brought in 757 entries for a $3.5 million prize pool.

Late in the tournament, Furth was down to just a single 100,000 chip with the blog blind at 80,000 but rallied to build that up and eventually win.

“Yeah, at that point, pressure was off,” he said afterward. “We had ten left so I was sure that I was going to be the next one out, so I was willing to gamble – I did. Doubled up back to average … an unbelievable journey. I’m elated.”

This makes two straight summers of collecting gold as Furth won a $1,500  PLO event in 2024 for $265,361. On Saturday, Germany’s Fabian Riebau-Schmithals took runner-up for $413,762.

Bracelet No. 3 for Dan Heimiller in $1,500 Seven Stud

Event #6: $1,500 Seven Card Stud wrapped up on Saturday and Dan Heimiller added another nice bullet to his solid WSOP record. He now has three bracelets, 28 final table appearances, and a cashed in every WSOP dating back to 1997.

Heimiller pocketed another $106,840 after topping David Back in heads-up play for this title. He now has almost $8 million in live tournament winnings after also snagging bracelets in 2002 and 2014. He said the win was a “long time coming” and that persistence was a key in eventually finding the winner’s circle again.
“Stubbornness. I wouldn't quit poker when I should have,” Heimiller said. “I could have quit a long time ago, but I was persistent.”
