Level 5 — Field Slowly Grows as Third Table Opens
We’re now into Level 5 of Day 1B at the BluffMasters 2025, following a quick break—and the field has expanded with the opening of a third table.
So far, it’s a lighter turnout of pros, which isn’t too surprising. With several smaller tournaments running across other poker rooms and Saturday being the final Day 1 flight, many are likely timing their entry for a last push.
Still, the BluffMasters remains a key battleground, especially as part of the official lead-up to the Metro Walk to a Million 2025.
In a time where the poker industry is becoming more competitive than ever, the ability for a brand to establish presence and identity in the market is crucial. This event—backed by the legacy of Metro and Masters Poker—is doing just that.
Stay tuned as more players arrive and the fight for Day 2 continues

Among those seated:
🔹 Winifred Obedoz, a respected pro known for his disciplined style.
🔹 Jepoy, fresh off his win in Event 2 yesterday, now eyeing back-to-back success.
It may be a modest start, but don’t be fooled—some of the most dangerous runs start in the quietest fields.
