A Father’s Day to Remember: Allan Le Outlasts Shaun Deeb to Win 2025 WSOP $1,500 Razz Bracelet

In a heartwarming and high-stakes finish to the $1,500 Razz event at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP), Allan Le walked away with his second career bracelet—and fittingly, on Father’s Day.

The event, held at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, featured 472 entrants competing for a prize pool of $6,26,580. After three days of intense play, the final table came down to some of poker’s most familiar names, including six-time bracelet winner Shaun Deeb. But it was Le, a father of three, who claimed the top prize of $1,26,363—and the ultimate bragging rights on a day dedicated to dads.

A Family-Powered Victory

For Le, this bracelet carried extra emotional weight. His first WSOP win came nearly nine years ago in a Mixed Omaha event. This time, with his children watching from afar via FaceTime and his wife cheering on from the rail, the moment felt far more personal.

“I’d let my kids win anything… except this bracelet,” he said with a grin. “This one’s for my wife.”

It was a moment of pure joy and shared celebration. As soon as the final hand ended, Le’s wife called their kids. “Daddy won,” she said, beaming, while Le smiled into the camera.

A Table Full of Legends

The final table was a classic mix of experienced pros and WSOP veterans. Names like Shaun Deeb, Maxx Coleman, and Women in Poker Hall of Famer Jeanne David made the path to victory anything but easy. Even Allan Le himself was surprised by his Razz success, admitting that this was his first tournament in the variant.

His strategy? Go after every pot.

“There were a lot of swings, but I just kept pushing,” Le said. “Not sure it was the best play, but it’s what I do.”

Despite not having much history in Razz, Le’s natural feel for mixed games and willingness to apply pressure paid off handsomely.

Swinging Stacks and Sudden Turns

The final table action was relentless from the start. Jackson Spencer was the first to exit after running into Le’s nine-seven low. MengQi Chen followed in eighth, unable to recover after losing two major pots.

As play progressed, Shaun Deeb surged, even holding nearly half the chips in play at one point. But poker, especially in Razz, is rarely a straight line. Gabriel Ramos, Jason Lipiner, and Jeanne David all fell despite brief moments of momentum.

Maxx Coleman exited in fourth after losing a pivotal pot to Deeb, and Clint Wolcyn, who had surged mid-table, found himself out in third after Le made a perfect seven-low.

Heads-Up: Deeb vs. Le

Entering the final heads-up duel, Deeb held a 2:1 chip advantage. Known for his dominance in mixed games, he looked poised to add a seventh bracelet to his collection. But Le was undeterred.

In just over half an hour, Le flipped the script. The turning point came when Deeb made a full house, but Le’s low held strong. One final hand later, Deeb’s queen-ten was no match for Le’s smooth seven-six. And just like that, it was over.

What’s Next for Le? More Poker.

Despite the victory, there’s no break on Le’s calendar. “I’ll be playing the rest of the series,” he confirmed. “Maybe I can win another bracelet… for my wife.”

As for his favorite game? “PLO. That’s my bread and butter,” he said.

Even though Razz isn’t his go-to format, this Father’s Day win proved that Le’s poker instincts transcend formats—and that family support is the best rail you can have.

Final Thoughts

Allan Le’s 2025 WSOP victory is more than just another poker headline. It’s a reminder that behind every chip and bracelet is a story—one of grit, love, and late-night FaceTime calls.

On a day that’s meant to honor fathers, Le gave his family something unforgettable: not just a win, but a moment they’ll talk about for years. In a world that often celebrates cold stats and sharp strategy, Le showed that heart matters just as much as hands.
