Overview

  • Day One of the $50,000 Poker Players Championship drew 87 entries and ended with 66 survivors, with late registration open through the start of Level 10.
  • Michael Mizrachi, who won a record fourth PPC title in 2025, was knocked out late on Day One, ensuring the 2026 event will produce a first‑time winner this year.
  • Matt Glantz closed Day One as chip leader with 989,000, leading a top‑10 that included Benny Glaser and Robert Wells.
  • Daniel Negreanu lost roughly 80% of his opening stack in an early No‑Limit Hold'em pot but recovered to rebuild a viable stack and advance to Day Two.
  • The PPC is a seven‑handed, nine‑game mixed event with 300,000 starting chips and 100‑minute levels played over five days, and the tournament's final field and prize pool will be set once late registration closes.
