LEADERBOARD
The Leaderboard is powered by the WSOP+ App and provided for entertainment purposes. See below the leaderboard for full details - scoop
This leaderboard updates regularly using data from the WSOP+ App. In the early stages—especially during multi-flight days and before the payout period—there may be errors or omissions. At this point we are still matching player names and using chip counts as a proxy for projected payouts. We welcome any feedback or clarifications from the community to help improve accuracy.
Once we reach Day 2, all names will be matched and the field will be locked with no further re-entries. From that point, the leaderboard will better reflect the true state of play. Still, payouts will continue to be projected based on a player's most recently captured chip count, so expect a fair amount of volatility. A dynamic board should make the sweat more fun.
At the end of the tournament, the final leaderboard will reflect the actual payouts as reported by the WSOP+ App.
