WSOP Main Event 2026 reaches the final table

(PRESS RELEASE) -- After a summer of record-breaking turnout and intense competition at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, the 2026 World Series of Poker $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em World Championship - better known as the Main Event - has officially reached its Final Table. Out of a colossal field of 9,208 hopefuls, only nine elite players remain, each guaranteed a prize of at least $1,000,000.

These nine survivors will now go on a brief hiatus before returning to the felt on 3 August for a three-day battle to crown the undisputed World Champion of Poker, who will walk away with the sport’s biggest and most prestigious title, the iconic Main Event gold bracelet, and a staggering $10,000,000 first-place prize.

The road to the 2026 Final Table was one of the most grueling tests of endurance in poker history. To get to this moment, these nine individuals had to battle through marathon sessions, overcoming the mental and physical fatigue of elite tournament poker to outlast thousands of the world's best professionals and passionate amateurs alike.

The following nine players have punched their ticket to the 2026 WSOP Main Event Final Table:

- Lucas Jumalon – United States – 194,000,000 Chips

- Rami Hammoud – Canada – 79,000,000 Chips
