Hustler Casino Live representing well at the Main Event: There's only 174 players still in the hunt for the Main Event bracelet – and three of them are well familiar with each other.
Andy 'Stacks' Tsai, Wesley Fei, and Francisco Fragoso are all regular players on the Hustler Casino Live cash game streams – Tsai and Fei less so as of late, but all three have put in serious volume on the Los Angeles livestream.
The Fab Four: After Leo Margets' final table run in 2025, a record-setting 431 women entered the Main Event this year.
Of that number, only four now remain as Day 6 play gets underway shortly.
Main Event players under the radar: Every year, there are a few notable names who reach the later stages of the Main Event without much fanfare surrounding them.
Here's a quick glance at a few players flying under the radar:
Daniel Negreanu deep in the High Roller: Roll the tape below to see how 'Kid Poker' bagged up a big stack for Day 3 of the $50K.
WSOP Day 47: It's a Saturday in Las Vegas, here's what to watch for at the World Series of Poker.
The Main Event moves on to Day 6 with only 174 players remaining. It was a bloodbath of a Day 5 that saw big names like Alex Foxen and Michael Mizrachi bow out of the running. When the action resumes at 11:00am local time, we'll bring you all the big moments. Shaun Deeb is still in the mix – with a healthy stack no less.
Elsewhere in the Paris and Horseshoe ballrooms, Day 1D of the $300 Gladiators of Poker begins today at 10:00am local time.
We'll see Day 2 action in the $3,000 Mid-Stakes Championship where 923 players remain in the hunt.
The $50K High Roller will play down to a winner today. With 13 players remaining, the last of the big no-limit buy-ins will award a seven-figure prize to the eventual winner. Daniel Negreanu, Bryn Kenney, Erik Seidel, Kristen Foxen, and Chris Brewer are all still in the running.
In its first iteration at the summer series, the $1,500 Pick Your PLO drew a field of 857 entrants across Day 1. Now, only 10 remain and they'll play down to a winner today.
The $3,000 T.O.R.S.E. sees Day 2 play later today with 157 players remaining from a field of 457. It's a murderer's row of mixed game masters in there, but only one can be crowned champion.
And, last but not least, the $1,500 The Closer NLH kicks off the first of two Day 1 starting flights today.
50K High Roller gets tense. The final two tables are battling it out for a spot on Day 3. Negreanu is in the mix, but he now trails a mighty group. A few top chip-havers as the hour gets late:
Daniel Smiljkovic - 8.3M
Daniel Rezaei - 7.5M
Timur Margolin - 6.4M
Erik Seidel - 6M
Bryn Kenney - 4.6M
Daniel Negreanu - 4.6M
Day 5 is in the bank. It was a wild one. Our full story:
Matthew Shepsky wins $1K Mystery Bounty PLO ($305,000): He also gets his first WSOP bracelet after coming out on top of a huge field of 4,764. Shepsky beat Alex Manzano heads-up, with Chris Vitch finishing in fourth.
