Overview
- Nathan Gamble won the $10,000 Pot‑Limit Omaha Hi‑Lo Championship and became the only player with three PLO8 bracelets after a final‑table victory that paid $767,359.
- Yuri Dzivielevski captured the $100,000 High Roller on a big‑buy‑in field for $2,841,432 to record his sixth WSOP bracelet and one of the largest payouts of the series.
- Nick Schulman took down the $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. title for his eighth career bracelet and $183,366 after outlasting a 780‑player field.
- Significant events remain live with Jean‑Robert Bellande leading the resumed $3,000 No‑Limit Hold’em final table, Gus Hansen sitting among the final six in the $10,000 Limit Hold’em championship, and the $250,000 Super High Roller continuing with Daniel Negreanu holding a top‑five stack.
- The results underline two trends at the 2026 WSOP: specialists in mixed games are cementing legacies in niche formats like PLO8 and HORSE, while escalating high‑roller buy‑ins are producing multi‑million prizes that shift career totals and Player‑of‑the‑Year dynamics.
