Twenty bracelet-awarding events adorn the schedule, giving players plenty of chances to end 2026 with a coveted WSOP bracelet on their wrist. Perhaps even more impressive is that all 20 bracelet events come with guaranteed prize pools, and with $50 million added compared to last year, the total guarantee has soared to an unprecedented $120 million.
