2026 World Series of Poker
Chip Counts
Phil Hellmuth has one last shot this summer to extend his World Series of Poker bracelet record to 18.
The "Poker Brat," however, will need to spin up a short stack on the final day of the series to pull it off. Hellmuth will return to action at 1 p.m. PT for Day 2 of Event #99: $5,000 8-Handed No-Limit Hold'em, along with 71 others.
Hellmuth isn't the only big name still standing, hoping to win the bracelet and the $695,256 first-place prize. Adam Hendrix, Cliff Josephy, Joseph Cheong, and Brian Rast are among a number of notables coming back for the finale.

Past Champions & History
While it would be no surprise to see some of the biggest names in poker make a final appearance at the series, history suggests that lesser-known players tend to prevail.
Recent winners include Jaspal Brar, Paul Berger and Aneris Adomkevicius.
British player Mitchell Hynam outlasted a field of 1,935 to win last year's event. "I didn't really care at the start," Hynam admitted. "But once I got chips, I had to take it seriously." That approach paid off, earning him $237,924 for the win.
