Mancini Strikes Again: Ray Extends Lead with Week 11 Victory as Top Contenders Falter
Ray Mancini is making a statement. With seven weeks remaining in the Fall 2025 season and the league prize pool swelling to over $65,000, guaranteeing at least six $10K WSOP Main Event seats, the league’s hottest player just tightened his grip on first place. Ray entered Week 11 with a commanding lead at 57 points, but second-place Ryan Harfouch (55 points) was breathing down his neck, ready to pounce on any slip-up. Ray didn’t slip. Instead, he delivered a dominant performance at the final table, dispatching Ryan Johnson with KK over AT, eliminating Jack Feeney’s 99 with AJ, and weathering doubles to both Ryan Harfouch and Andra Zachow before closing out the victory. His 14-point haul rockets him to 72 points, now eight points clear of Harfouch (64) and widening the gap over a crowded field of contenders. With substitutes Tony stepping in for Rob Fulton and Jake Naumann for Sam Browning, and Andra Zachow showing nerves of steel by bluffing Mark Winchell blind-versus-blind with 23o, Week 11 had all the drama but one name dominated the headlines.
It’s a classic and Mike Ozer’s 99 no good
That was after Andra bluffed Mark Blind vs Blind & showed 23o 😳

Ray Mancini’s Week 11 victory wasn’t just about adding another 14 points to his season total, it was about sending a message. After dodging elimination against both Ryan Harfouch and Andra Zachow with timely doubles, Ray closed the show with surgical precision: cracking Andra’s suited K-J with K-6 and then dispatching Jason Barnett’s 88 with a miracle 44 to claim the title. Ray now sits at 72 points with a commanding eight-point lead over Ryan Harfouch (64), who fell just short in fourth place. Behind them, James McKinnon (49 points) continues his consistent season with another cash, climbing into sole possession of third place. David Smith (44), Team Lee Tran/Hugh Mayes (41), and Jack Feeney (40) round out the top tier, all within striking distance but running out of time to catch the front-runners. Jason Barnett’s runner-up finish (23 points) and Andra Zachow’s gutsy third-place run (27 points) prove that anyone can make a deep run on any given week. With seven weeks left and the stakes climbing, Ray Mancini isn’t just leading—he’s dominating. Can anyone stop him, or is this his season to lose?
