Out of 1,384 entries in the 2025 World Series of Poker $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Six-Max event, only one could rise above the rest. That honor went to Lithuania’s Kasparas Klezys, who earned his first career WSOP gold bracelet along with the top prize of $280,214.
The win marks the second-largest score of Klezys’ live tournament career, trailing only his fourth-place finish in the 2023 WSOP Europe Main Event for $491,840. With this latest victory, Klezys now boasts four final-table appearances in bracelet events, and more than $900,000 in WSOP earnings across 56 cashes. His total live tournament earnings now approach $1.5 million.
The event generated a prize pool of $1,837,260, with 209 players making the money. Among the notable names who cashed were WPT champion and Millionaire Maker bronze medalist Joshua Reichard (24th), high roller standout Andrew Ostapchenko (9th), bracelet winner Jose ‘Nacho’ Barbero (8th), 2022 Wynn Millions champ Tony Sinishtaj (7th), and WPT champion Darryll Fish (6th).
Klezys made a dominant run at the final table, starting by busting Fish and then continuing to eliminate all four remaining players on his way to the title. He entered heads-up play against Jonathan Hanner with a commanding 6:1 chip lead.
In the final hand, Hanner was all-in preflop holding A♦ J♦ 10♦ 9♠ against Klezys’ A♥ Q♥ Q♠ Q♣. The board ran out 10♥ 4♥ 3♠ 6♠ 8♥, giving Klezys the nut flush to secure the win and the bracelet. Hanner walked away with $186,732 for his runner-up finish.
