WSOP 2026 Results — Every Bracelet Winner (Updated July 2026)

2026 World Series of Poker Results

The 57th annual World Series of Poker ran May 26 through July 15 at Paris Las Vegas and Horseshoe Las Vegas, delivering 100 bracelet events and a record 251,899 total entries across the series. Ninety-nine bracelets have been awarded so far, with the Main Event (Event #82) the sole remaining event -- its nine-handed final table is set for a live ESPN broadcast August 3-5, 2026 after a three-week break from the conclusion of Day 7 on July 13.

The 2026 series produced several historic moments: Adrian Mateos shipped the $250,000 Super High Roller for $4.3 million and his sixth bracelet, Calvin Anderson won back-to-back championship bracelets within 72 hours, Daniel Negreanu captured his eighth career bracelet in the $100,000 PLO, and husband-and-wife duo Kristen and Alex Foxen both took home gold in the same summer.

The results below cover every bracelet event, highlights from the summer, how to watch the Main Event finale, and where to play online if the WSOP has you itching to get into the action.

Main Event Final Table Preview

The $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event -- poker's world championship -- drew its usual massive field across four opening flights. After six grueling days of play, the final table of nine was set on July 13. For the first time in WSOP Main Event history, a three-week break separates the end of Day 7 from the televised finale, giving players time to prepare and ESPN time to build anticipation.

The final table airs live August 3-5 on ESPN and ESPN2. The champion will walk away with the gold bracelet and a first prize expected to exceed $10 million. The nine remaining players will return to the Paris Las Vegas ballroom on Sunday, August 3 to play down to a champion over three nights of live coverage.

The three-week break has given the final tablists time to review hand histories, study their opponents, and work with coaches. Several of the remaining players are known quantities with deep tournament resumes, while others are relative unknowns playing for life-changing money. The contrast between seasoned pros and first-time final tablists is part of what makes the Main Event the most compelling event in all of poker.

Players who want to follow the action or prepare for next year's WSOP can find full event details on our WSOP schedule page. Online satellites for the 2027 WSOP are expected to launch on BetOnline, ACR Poker, and other network sites early next year.

Championship Event Winners

The WSOP's championship-level events carry $10,000+ buy-ins and attract the strongest fields. These are the titles that define a player's legacy. The 2026 championship results:

Mixed-game specialists dominated the championship roster. Naoya Kihara and Calvin Anderson each won two championship titles, while Benny Glaser's Poker Players Championship victory may be the single most prestigious bracelet of the summer. David Peters' win in the $10,000 6-Handed NLH Championship continued his run as one of the most consistent high-stakes tournament players of this generation.

For players interested in learning the mixed-game formats that feature prominently in these championship events -- Razz, Stud, HORSE, Omaha Hi-Lo, and more -- our poker strategy and poker rules guides cover the fundamentals of each variant.

High Roller Results at a Glance

The high roller events ($25,000+ buy-in) produced the summer's largest prizes and attracted poker's global elite. Here is a summary of the nine high roller results:

Event	Buy-in	Winner	Country	Prize
#7	$25,000 Heads Up NLH	Dimitar Danchev	Bulgaria	$800,000
#19	$25,000 HR NLH	Kristen Foxen	Canada	$1,773,083
#24	$25,000 HR 6-Max NLH	Artur Martirosian	Russia	$1,286,285
#29	$50,000 HR NLH	Santhosh Suvarna	India	$1,922,870
#36	$100,000 HR NLH	Yuri Dzivielevski	Brazil	$2,841,432
#41	$250,000 Super HR NLH	Adrian Mateos	Spain	$4,334,411
#47	$25,000 HR PLO	Eelis Paerssinen	Finland	$2,161,056
#55	$50,000 HR PLO	Joao Simao	Brazil	$1,368,700
#64	$25,000 HR Mixed	Eelis Paerssinen	Finland	$1,172,296
#76	$100,000 HR PLO	Daniel Negreanu	Canada	$2,257,718
#90	$50,000 HR 8-Max NLH	Jamie Dwan	UK	$2,276,691
#97	$25,000 HR HORSE	Alexander Kostritsyn	Russia	$872,052

The high roller results are notable for their international diversity. Not a single high roller bracelet went to an American player -- winners came from Spain, Brazil, Canada, Finland, India, UK, Bulgaria, and Russia. This reflects the increasingly global nature of the game's highest stakes, where European and Latin American players now compete on equal footing with the traditionally dominant American contingent.

Combined first-place prizes across the twelve high roller events topped $20.8 million. If you are curious about how these high-stakes pros approach the game differently from recreational players, our poker strategy section covers concepts like ICM, position play, and bet sizing that apply at every level.

The high roller results also highlight the growing strength of PLO at the WSOP. Four of the twelve high roller events were Pot-Limit Omaha or mixed PLO/NLH formats, reflecting the game's surging popularity among the world's best players.

2026 WSOP Highlights

The 57th World Series of Poker delivered no shortage of storylines. From record-setting paydays to multi-bracelet runs and a married couple both winning gold, the 2026 summer will be remembered as one of the most eventful in the series' history. Here are the defining moments.

Adrian Mateos Takes the $250K Super High Roller

Adrian Mateos cemented his place among poker's elite by winning the $250,000 Super High Roller (Event #41) for $4,334,411 -- the largest non-Main Event first prize of the entire series. The victory gave the Spanish pro his sixth career WSOP bracelet, and at just 30 years old, he already holds more bracelets than most Poker Hall of Famers ever will.

Mateos has consistently proven himself across all buy-in levels, from $1,500 events to the nosebleed stakes that only a handful of players can afford. His super high roller resume now includes multiple seven-figure scores across WSOP, WPT, and European Poker Tour events. The $4.3 million prize was the biggest single payout of the 2026 WSOP and established Mateos as the summer's top earner by a wide margin.

Calvin Anderson Goes Back-to-Back

Calvin Anderson pulled off one of the rarest feats in WSOP history by winning two bracelets in roughly 72 hours. He took down the $10,000 Razz Championship (Event #48) for $357,026, then turned right around and shipped the $10,000 HORSE (Event #54) for $413,580. Winning consecutive bracelets in mixed-game championship events requires a level of versatility and stamina that few players possess.

Anderson's combined haul of $770,606 from those two events alone was a summer most players would envy. Both wins came in championship-level events with $10,000 buy-ins, meaning the fields were stacked with the best mixed-game players in the world. To beat those fields twice in three days is a testament to Anderson's skill and endurance across multiple poker disciplines.

Naoya Kihara's Four-Day Double

Japan's Naoya Kihara matched Anderson's multi-bracelet run, winning the $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship (Event #17) for $428,923 and the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship (Event #23) for $301,970 within four days. Kihara has long been Japan's most accomplished tournament player, and his 2026 results reinforce his standing as one of the best mixed-game specialists in the world.

What made Kihara's double particularly impressive was the range of formats. No-Limit 2-7 Lowball and Seven Card Stud are about as different as two poker variants can be -- one is a drawing game where the worst conventional hand wins, the other is a classic stud game requiring entirely different skills. Winning championship events in both within the same week speaks to a rare depth of poker knowledge.

The Foxen Family Double

In one of the feel-good stories of the summer, husband and wife Kristen Foxen and Alex Foxen both won WSOP bracelets. Kristen took the $25,000 High Roller NLH (Event #19) for $1,773,083, while Alex captured the $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty NLH (Event #44) for $594,246. Combined, the couple earned over $2.3 million in bracelet event first prizes -- a family haul that is almost certainly unprecedented in WSOP history.

Both Kristen and Alex Foxen have been fixtures on the high roller circuit for years, regularly appearing at final tables in the most competitive fields on the planet. Having both of them win bracelets in the same summer is the kind of story that transcends poker and reminds everyone that behind the cards and chips, real people are achieving lifelong dreams.

Daniel Negreanu Wins Bracelet Number Eight

Daniel Negreanu added to his legacy by winning the $100,000 High Roller PLO (Event #76) for $2,257,718 and his eighth career WSOP bracelet. Negreanu remains one of the most accomplished and recognizable players in the game's history, and his willingness to compete and win at the highest stakes -- in Pot-Limit Omaha, no less -- demonstrates the breadth of his skill set.

The win pushes his career WSOP earnings past the $25 million mark. Negreanu won his first bracelet in 1998, meaning his bracelet-winning career now spans nearly three decades. The $100K PLO field featured many of the world's best Omaha specialists, making this bracelet one of the most hard-fought of Negreanu's career.

Michael Mizrachi Claims Bracelet Number Nine

Michael Mizrachi won the $10,000 PLO Championship (Event #70) for $1,350,203, claiming his ninth career bracelet. "The Grinder" has been a fixture at the WSOP for two decades, and the PLO Championship victory is a fitting addition to a resume that includes multiple Poker Players Championship titles. Mizrachi's versatility across hold'em and Omaha formats has made him one of the most decorated players in WSOP history.

Benny Glaser Matches Mizrachi With Nine

Benny Glaser matched Mizrachi's total by winning the $50,000 Poker Players Championship (Event #60) for $1,343,764 and his ninth bracelet. The British mixed-game specialist is widely regarded as one of the most skilled all-around players in the world, and the PPC is considered by many professionals to be the most prestigious individual event at the WSOP -- even more so than the Main Event, because the field is composed almost entirely of elite players competing across multiple poker disciplines.

Glaser's PPC victory is arguably the single most impressive individual bracelet won during the entire 2026 series. The $50,000 buy-in ensures the field is small but extraordinarily strong, and the multi-game format tests every aspect of a player's poker ability.

Yuri Dzivielevski Ships $2.84M in the $100K High Roller

Brazil's Yuri Dzivielevski won the $100,000 High Roller NLH (Event #36) for $2,841,432 -- the single largest first-place prize outside the Main Event. Dzivielevski has become a regular presence at high roller final tables over the past several years, and this score puts him among the top all-time earners from Latin America. The $100K buy-in field featured many of the same players who competed in the $250K Super High Roller, making it one of the toughest fields of the summer.

Eelis Paerssinen's Quiet $3.3 Million Summer

Finland's Eelis Paerssinen did not generate as many headlines as Mateos or Negreanu, but he quietly put together one of the strongest summers of anyone in the field. Paerssinen won both the $25,000 High Roller PLO (Event #47, $2,161,056) and the $25,000 High Roller Mixed PLO/NLH (Event #64, $1,172,296) for a combined $3.33 million in first-place prizes. Both wins came in high roller events with buy-ins that attract only the strongest competition, underscoring Paerssinen's place among the game's elite Omaha and mixed-game players.

Million-Dollar First Prizes

Fourteen events awarded first prizes of $1 million or more, reflecting both the massive fields in lower buy-in events and the enormous pools generated by high roller events. The million-dollar winners:

1. Adrian Mateos -- $4,334,411 (Event #41, $250K Super HR)
2. Yuri Dzivielevski -- $2,841,432 (Event #36, $100K HR)
3. Jamie Dwan -- $2,276,691 (Event #90, $50K HR 8-Max)

10. Benny Glaser -- $1,343,764 (Event #60, $50K PPC)
11. Richard Alsup -- $1,302,125 (Event #18, $1,500 Monster Stack)
12. Artur Martirosian -- $1,286,285 (Event #24, $25K HR 6-Max)
13. Joseph Liberta -- $1,250,000 (Event #50, $1,500 Millionaire Maker)
14. Eelis Paerssinen -- $1,172,296 (Event #64, $25K HR Mixed)
15. Yanting Jiang -- $1,159,182 (Event #89, $3K Mid-Stakes Championship)
16. Naseem Salem -- $1,089,964 (Event #11, $10K GGMillion$)
17. David Peters -- $1,001,391 (Event #94, $10K 6-Max Championship)
18. Daisuke Ogita -- $1,000,000 (Event #72, $1K Mini Main Event)
19. Matthew Higgins -- $1,000,000 (Event #63, $1K Mystery Millions)

Richard Alsup's $1.3 million from the $1,500 Monster Stack and Joseph Liberta's $1.25 million from the $1,500 Millionaire Maker demonstrate that massive paydays are not reserved for high rollers. These affordable buy-in events drew enormous fields, generating prize pools large enough to make millionaires out of recreational players.

• The largest single prize (excluding the pending Main Event) was Adrian Mateos' $4,334,411

The international diversity of winners reflects the global growth of poker. While American players still won the majority of bracelets, winners came from every continent except Antarctica. Countries like India (Santhosh Suvarna, Nishant Sharma), South Africa (Adriaan Jacobs), and Peru (Juan Rodriguez) were represented among the bracelet winners, showing that the WSOP truly is a world championship.

Notable Performances Beyond the Winners

Several players merit recognition beyond the bracelet winners listed above:

• Shaun Deeb won the $1,500 8-Game Mixed (Event #74) and was in strong contention for the Player of the Year race, with multiple deep runs throughout the series. Deeb's bracelet in a mixed-game event is consistent with his reputation as one of the most versatile tournament players alive.
• Nick Schulman took the $1,500 HORSE (Event #37) for his fourth career bracelet, continuing a steady accumulation of mixed-game titles over the past decade.
• Jeff Madsen won the $1,500 Dealers Choice (Event #20), reminding the poker world that the former WSOP Player of the Year still has plenty of game left.
• David Peters shipped the $10,000 6-Handed NLH Championship (Event #94) for over $1 million, adding another marquee title to what is quietly one of the most impressive tournament resumes in poker.
• Scott Clements won the $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo Championship (Event #9), a title that carries significant weight in the mixed-game community.

The depth of talent at the 2026 WSOP was remarkable. Nearly every event featured stacked final tables with multiple bracelet winners and established pros.

How to Watch the Main Event Final Table

The 2026 WSOP Main Event final table airs live on ESPN from August 3-5. This is the first year the WSOP has used a three-week break between the conclusion of Day 7 (July 13) and the televised finale, giving the remaining nine players time to study, hire coaches, and prepare for the biggest stage in poker.

ESPN Broadcast Schedule

The Main Event finale airs across three nights on ESPN networks:

• Sunday, August 3 -- 9:00 PM to Midnight ET on ESPN2
• Monday, August 4 -- 9:00 PM to Midnight ET on ESPN
• Tuesday, August 5 -- 10:30 PM to 1:30 AM ET on ESPN

The broadcast features hole-card cameras with a short delay, commentary from Lon McEachern and Norman Chad, and on-set analysis from poker pros. The nine remaining players will play down over these three nights until one champion is crowned live on the Tuesday broadcast.

The Three-Week Break Format

The three-week break between Day 7 and the final table is new for 2026. This format mirrors the approach the World Poker Tour has used for its televised final tables and represents a significant departure from the traditional WSOP format where the Main Event played straight through from start to finish.

The break gives players time to review hand histories from Days 1-7, work with coaches on specific opponents at the final table, and mentally prepare for the pressure of playing for millions on live television. It also gives ESPN time to promote the broadcast, produce profile packages on the final nine players, and build casual viewer interest -- something the poker industry has long wanted.

The format has been polarizing among fans and pros alike. Purists prefer the raw, real-time grind of playing straight through, arguing that fatigue and momentum are part of the game and that the break disrupts the natural flow of the tournament. Others appreciate the production value and drama of a scheduled finale, noting that it brings more eyeballs to the sport and gives players a fairer shot at performing their best under the bright lights. Regardless of where you fall, the August broadcast should deliver compelling poker.

Streaming and Cord-Cutting Options

ESPN's coverage is also available through ESPN+ and major streaming packages that include ESPN networks. If you do not have a cable subscription, services like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and Sling TV all carry ESPN and ESPN2. Check your provider for specific channel availability and any blackout restrictions in your area.
