Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Candido Cappiello bet 3,500 from the cutoff on a flop of 2♠4♦9♦ and Luis Vazquez called on the button. Brian Wood then raised to 17,000 in the small blind, and only Cappiello called.

The turn was the 3♥ and Wood bet 11,000. Cappiello then moved all in, and Wood called for an additional 5,000.

Brian Wood: K♦J♦All in
Candido Cappiello: K♣9♣

Wood had a flush draw and needed to improve against Cappiello's pair. The A♥ was no help, and Wood was sent to the rail.

Registration in the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) has closed, and it was another year of massive attendance.

Last year's field had 9,735 entries, third most all time and the first year since 2022 it didn't crack 10,000 players. The tournament, which typically had 6,500 to 8,000 players from 2006 to 2022, is now consistently surpassing 9,000 entrants each year.

The record for most players is 10,112 in 2024, the year Jonathan Tamayo became world champion. This year's Main Event didn't quite break the record, but it will still go down as one of the largest fields ever.
