Heads-up heartbreak for Hellmuth as bid for historic 18th WSOP bracelet falls shortHeads-up heartbreak for Hellmuth as bid for historic 18th WSOP bracelet falls short

Get every WSOP result right here: With the exception of the Main Event, the 2026 WSOP is done and dusted. You can check every winner of every live event, including payouts, in the article below.

Event number 100 of 100 is complete: With his victory in the $1K Super Turbo, She Wong of the USA has won the final event on the WSOP Las Vegas schedule.

The one-day affair was the final event to finish, late on Wednesday night, when Wong took down the last hand against Japan's Ryuta Nakai. It's a first bracelet win for Wong, who banks $216,286 for a fine day's work.

With the conclusion of the $1K Super Turbo there's now just one piece of unfinished business from the 2026 world Series of Poker, and that's who will win the Main Event and its incredible $10 million first prize.

Nishant Sharma wins $800 Deepstack for $196,659: The Indian pro - winner of the 2025 Asian Poker Tour Championship Main Event - finally has a WSOP bracelet to add to a trophy cabinet packed with the spoils of his many victories across Asia.

The man from Mumbai defeated Taiwan's Chung-Tang Lin heads-up to seal the deal.

Alexander Kostritsyn wins $25K High Roller HORSE ($872,052): He beat Ali Eslami heads-up to claim his first WSOP Bracelet.  

$5K 8-Handed NLH – Phil Hellmuth eliminated in second ($464,286): He couldn't quite believe it at the end as he shook hands with Darren Rabinowitz. So close for Hellmuth in one of the final events of the 2026 WSOP. It's Rabinowitz's second WSOP bracelet. 

$25K HORSE – Naoya Kihara eliminated in third ($394,433): He couldn't find his third bracelet of the summer, but it's been an incredible WSOP for the immensely likeable player. He's also top of the Player of the Year leaderboard. Hopefully we see him in The Bahamas in December. 

$5K 8-Handed – Nick Palma eliminated in third ($326,136): Darren Rabinowitz takes the scalp and it means that Phil Hellmuth is heads-up for bracelet #18.

  • Darren Rabinowitz: 24.5M
    Phil Hellmuth: 16.7M

Three left in $25K HORSE: After the elimination of Julien Sitbon in fourth, Naoya Kihara has (we believe) taken over the top spot on the Player of the Year leaderboard. Can he go on and win the bracelet? Alexander Kostritsyn leads, Ali Eslami is second.

Phil Hellmuth leads final five in $5K 8-Handed: This would be some finale for the 2026 WSOP. The five players are just back from break with the following stacks:

  1. Phil Hellmuth: 13.2M
  2. Nicholas Pupillo: 12.7M
  3. Nick Palma: 9.8M
  4. Joshua Stewart: 4.7M
  5. Darren Rabinowitz: 3.8M

$25K HORSE on break four-handed: We think Naoya Kihara needs third or better to take the lead on the Player of the Year leaderboard. He's got the third-biggest stack of the four players left, with Alexander Kostritsyn leading.
