After eight grueling days, the 2026 World Series of Poker main event's final table is set. Nine players will compete for the $10 million first prize: Lucas Jumalon, Rami Hammoud, Jamie Shaevel, Greg Mueller, Michael Gagliano, Mario Boos, Lauri Saaskilahti, Han Feng and Evagoras Evagorou. All are guaranteed at least $1 million.

Jumalon, 22, holds a massive chip lead at 194 million, followed by Hammoud at 79 million and Shaevel at 56 million. Malcolm Trayner, who began Monday as chip leader, busted in 10th place for $750,000. Notable eliminations include reigning champion Michael Mizrachi (241st), WSOP Player of the Year Shaun Deeb (15th), and 2003 winner Chris Moneymaker on the money bubble.

This year's event drew 9,208 entries for a $85.6 million prize pool, the fourth-largest in history. Play pauses until Aug. 3-5, when the final table resumes at Paris Las Vegas with live ESPN coverage. "To be playing in that arena for $10 million... I don't think it gets any cooler than that," said Jack Effel, SVP of poker operations at Caesars Entertainment.
