The highly anticipated WSOP final table is officially set following a grueling summer of record-breaking poker action in Las Vegas. After weeks of intense competition at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas casinos, the 2026 World Series of Poker $10,000 No-Limit Holdem World Championship has narrowed its massive field down to the final nine players.
A total of 9,208 entrants registered for this year’s tournament, making it one of the largest fields in poker history. The remaining nine competitors are each guaranteed a minimum payout of $1,000,000 just for making it this far. However, they all have their eyes fixed on the ultimate prize of $10,000,000 and the prestigious Main Event gold bracelet given to the official world champion.
The nine survivors are currently taking a short hiatus before returning to the tournament area next month. They will return to action on August 3 for a three-day battle that will conclude on August 5. Leading the pack is Lucas Jumalon from the United States, who holds a massive chip lead with 194,000,000 chips. Rami Hammoud from Canada sits in second place with 79,000,000 chips, followed by Jamie Shaevel from the United States with 56,000,000 chips.
The rest of the WSOP final table lineup includes Greg Mueller from Canada with 48,500,000 chips, Michael Gagliano from the United States with 46,500,000 chips, Mario Boos from France with 44,000,000 chips, Lauri Saaskilahti from Finland with 37,500,000 chips, Han Feng from the United States with 25,000,000 chips, and Evagoras Evagorou from Cyprus with 22,500,000 chips.
World Series of Poker Chief Executive Officer Ty Stewart expressed great enthusiasm for the upcoming finale, noting that the historic event has generated a WSOP final table that is truly worthy of the grandest stage in card gaming.
