The 2026 WSOP Main Event drew 9,208 entries and a prize pool of $85,634,400. The final table, held back for a live ESPN broadcast and played August 3-5, finished: Lucas Jumalon (1st, $10,000,000), Lauri Saaskilahti (2nd, $6,000,000), Greg Mueller (3rd, $3,750,000), Michael Gagliano (4th, $2,750,000), Han Feng (5th, $2,250,000), Rami Hammoud (6th, $1,750,000), Jamie Shaevel (7th, $1,500,000), Mario Boos (8th, $1,250,000) and Evagoras Evagorou (9th, $1,000,000). Because the WSOP Main Event is a PGT-qualifying event, every final-table finish carried a large block of PGT points, which is why several Main Event finalists sit in the PGT top 40 off a single cash.

More to know

PokerNews says Jumalon studied business administration and data analytics at Grand Canyon University. He started in $0.25/$0.50 college home games, then played local rooms such as Lilac Lanes Bowling & Casino in Spokane. His Main Event started badly: he bagged just 7,400 chips on Day 1b, the second-shortest stack of the flight. On Day 8 he won a pot of more than 50 million chips against Aussie Millions champion Malcolm Trayner, filling up with jacks full and getting a 35-million river bet called. Poker.org quotes him calling the event a "slog" and a "grind." He is also the first Main Event champion from Washington state.

About the PGT leaderboard: the PokerGO Tour ranks players on points from qualifying high-stakes events, including PokerGO Studio series and qualifying WSOP events. The top 40 at season's end qualify for the PGT $1,000,000 Championship freeroll, which The Hendon Mob's schedule lists for January 11-12, 2027 in Las Vegas. The PGT page also marks whether each player has met the championship's participation requirements. Rankings can still move before the season closes.
