The final nine players in poker's biggest tournament, the WSOP Main Event, have officially been set.
Twenty-two-year-old Lucas Jumalon leads the way after a stunning Day 8 performance saw him build a towering stack of 194,000,000 chips. He will return on August 3 in pole position, just eight eliminations away from becoming poker's newest world champion.
Behind him sit Rami Hammoud and Jamie Shaevel, who round out the top three, while the most decorated players remaining are Canada's Greg Mueller with three bracelets, and America's Michael Gagliano, with four.
As the 2026 World Series of Poker winds down, the last championship event will need an extra day to decide the newest bracelet holder at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
Four remaining players bagged up for an unscheduled Day 4 of Event #94: $10,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em Championship, with action set to resume at 2 p.m. local time.
The final table features a trio of multiple WSOP bracelet winners, led by Fahredin Mustafov (11,375,000), who has been at the top of the leaderboard after all three days of the event thus far. Mustafov was second in chips after the opening session, and has led the last two nights as he looks to nearly go wire-to-wire for a third bracelet.
The event saw 558 entries battle for a piece of the $5,189,400 prize pool, with the top score of $1,001,391 still to be decided.

Mustafov holds the only eight-figure stack in play, sitting comfortably ahead of David Peters (9,025,000) in second place. Peters is one of two 25K Fantasy players remaining, looking to score some additional points for Team Spitework after already locking up his seventh cash of the series.
Seven-time bracelet winner Calvin Anderson (7,275,000) rounds out the top three, aiming to earn an improbable third bracelet of the series. This represents Anderson's eighth cash of the summer, having already accumulated 300 fantasy points for Team Glue Factory.
Dominykas Mikolaitis (6,050,000) returns as the short stack, sitting on 25 big blinds while searching for his first WSOP bracelet.
All four players have locked up $306,313 and will return to Level 31 with blinds at 120,000/240,000 and a 240,000 big blind ante. Action will continue with 60-minute levels, and breaks will occur after every two hours as needed.
