New Record Set at Carmen Series as Main Event Surpasses 765 Entries

History has been made today, as the Main Event has officially broken the all-time record for entries. With 766 players registered, this year’s edition has surpassed the previous high of 765 set in 2023, solidifying its place as the biggest Carmen Main Event ever.

It’s a milestone moment for the series and a testament to its ever-growing reputation as a must-play stop on the global poker calendar. With late registration still open through the end of Level 14, the number is still climbing—and so is the prize pool. The energy inside the Crystal Cove Hotel and Casino is electric, with players battling it out for their share of what’s becoming one of the largest prize pools in Merit Poker history.
