Notable Stacks
San Kim finished Day 2D with the largest stack (799K), closely followed by Fernando Rodriguez (749K) and Alexandros Theologis, also known as 'Pwndidi,' (472.5K). Other notable players with substantial stacks include Jonathan Tamayo, the 2024 Main Event Champion, and Shaun Deeb, who currently leads the WSOP Player of the Year race.

Several big names were sent packing during Day 2D. Niall Farrell and Todd Brunson were among those eliminated, as well as Jeff 'Boski' Sluzinski, Alexander 'Wolfgang' Seibt, Rob Kuhn, Vivian Saliba, Seth Davies, Jans Arends, and David Peters. Kristen Foxen, who finished 13th in the 2024 Main Event, also failed to advance.

Shaun Deeb maintains his lead in the WSOP Player of the Year race, with Benny Glaser, Scott Bohlman, Martin Kabrhel, Joao Viera, Blaz Zerjav, Nick Schulman, Thomas Taylor, Dylan Linde, and Daniel Negreanu hot on his heels. Deeb's significant points came from Event #79: $100,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller and Event #84: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em. However, none of Deeb, Glaser, and Kabrhel advanced to Day 2 in Event #85: $600 Ultra Stack.
Final Table Payouts
The final table payouts for the 2025 Main Event were as follows:
1st: Michael Mizrachi (United States) – $10,000,000 2nd: John Wasnock (United States) – (payout not explicitly stated, but typically around several million in a WSOP Main Event runner-up)
The exact full payout list for all final table positions beyond the winner and runner-up is not detailed in the search results. The eventual winner will receive $10,000,000. It's also confirmed that the 2025 Main Event concluded registration on Day 2D, attracting 9,735 entrants, making it the third-largest Main Event field in the tournament's history. The final nine players will each receive at least $1,000,000.
