Sye Hickey holds the chip lead with 1,300,000 chips, with Nick Pupillo second with 988,000 to start play. Among the other notables returning is Phillip Hellmuth III, son of all-time bracelet leader, Hall of Famer, Phil Hellmuth.

The lone ring awarded on Monday went to Canadian Jason Sagle, who won Event #6: $600 Omaha 8 or Better to claim his first ring, the $13,004 first prize, and a $5,000 package to either WSOP Europe or WSOP Paradise.

While the win is Sagle's first WSOP victory, it's far from his best financial result, as he's maybe best known for his 4th place finish in the 2024 WSOP Main Event which earned him a cool $3,000,000.

Complete results are available on the WSOP+ app.
