Did you pick high-stakes crusher Artur Martirosian for your Pick 3 Main Event team? 

If you did, you'll be sitting near the top of the Pick 3 leaderboard at the moment. Martirosian bagged the fourth-biggest stack on Day 4 of the 2026 WSOP Main Event after winning two huge pots toward the end of the day. 

He won the first with aces against the tens of Mehrdad Yousefzadeh. In the second, he eliminated Erick Lindgren with . Lindgren had pocket queens but couldn't dodge the ace on the flop. 

There's still a long way to go. 533 players returned for Day 5 of the WSOP Main Event and have now completed the first of five scheduled levels.

The Pick 3 leaderboard shows you how many of your three players are still in, as well as your projected and actual score. 

Actual scores are from players that have been eliminated. Projected scores are the payouts your players would get if they finished the tournament in the position they're in at the moment. 

We'll be updating the leaderboard regularly through the rest of the Main Event.

Foxen and Deeb have stacks

Alex Foxen and Shaun Deeb are battling for the Player of the Year title, and both have big stacks to play with on Day 5. 

Foxen started the day with 1,695,000, just ahead of Deeb on 1,500,000. 

And the teams at the top of the Pick 3 leaderboard have a combination of Martirosian and one other player. The five teams tied for first each have two players remaining: Martirosian and Foxen. If the leaderboard stays the same it would come down to the tiebreaker to decide the winner.

But we're expecting lots of twists and turns between now and the final table being set on Monday. 

A handful of teams still have all three players alive. Team CKBWoP has Brock Wilson, Caitlin Comeskey and Patrick Leonard. Team DeebsDoubleDs has Brock Wilson, Shaun Deeb and Josh Arieh

The good news is that if you've only got one player left in, you're still in with a shot at winning the $5K package to play the Moneymaker Tour in Aruba. 

The winner of the 2026 WSOP Main Event gets $10 million, which would be enough to send you to Aruba regardless of how the rest of your team fares.
