At 12:00 pm local time, 64 players opened their bags to begin the third day of play in Event #11: $10,000 GGMillion$ High Roller No-Limit Hold’em, yet only eight will be doing the same for Day 4 at the 2026 World Series of Poker.
Each player at the official final table will be hitting the rail with a minimum of $105,178, however any prizes that aren’t the whopping $1,089,964 reserved for the winner will undoubtedly come with a hint of disappointment. The payouts left all stem from the $5,831,100 prize pool generated by 627 players here at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas.
The Day 4 lineup is a solid one. Naseem Salem bagged up the chip lead, ending the day on 14,800,000 chips, good for 73 big blinds when play resumes. Just behind is Alexis Cruz Martinez with 12,300,000, who made a late surge, including a pot won with queens against the chip leader. Chad Lipton rounds out the podium, returning with 7,900,000 to his name.
Multiple bracelet winners Chris Brewer, Cliff Josephy and John Racener will also be joining these three in battling it out for the prestigious reward, with 7,600,000, 6,800,000 and 4,300,000 chips, respectively.
Joey Weissman makes it seven players for the US, and will return with just 1,900,000 chips, having managed a short stack for a prolonged period at the end of the day.
Day 4 Chip Counts

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Naseem Salem | United States | 14,800,000 | 73 |
| 2 | Alexis Cruz Martinez | United States | 12,300,000 | 61 |
| 3 | Chad Lipton | United States | 7,900,000 | 39 |

| 7 | John Racener | United States | 4,300,000 | 21 |
| 8 | Joey Weissman | United States | 1,900,000 | 9 |
Salem’s eight-figure stack was largely due to a huge pot towards the end of the night that was shipped in his direction, coolering both Mike Meskin and Artem Riabov to send them home in the same hand.
Roman Hrabec, the only non-American representative at the final table, also had an incredible session, as his aggressive, unpredictable style helped him stay around the top of the rankings. Earlier in the day, he made a huge call against Micah Raskin, and another shortly after against Andrew Lichtenberger.

Plenty of big names came and went. Day 2 chip leader Anatoly Nikitin had a rollercoaster of a day, losing half of his near 100 big blind stack early on, and not being able to recover in the hunt for his maiden bracelet.
$25k Fantasy players and bracelet winners Jesse Lonis, Renan Bruschi, Stephen Chidwick, and Zdenek Zizka were also unable to survive the day. Belarusian Aliaksei Boika, a headliner of the “best without a bracelet” squad, lost a race to the eventual chip leader, crushing his hopes of leaving it.
In one of the filthiest bad beats in WSOP History, Ricky Landais was sickeningly sent home at the hands of Bobby James, after having top pair on the flop but no pair by the turn.
Fan favourites Michael “Texas Mike” Moncek and Terrance Reid just missed out on the final two tables, with WSOPE Main Event Champ Max Neugebauer departing shortly after. The final elimination of the day was Alexander “Rips” James, who had kicker problems when all in against Cruz Martinez.
Play is set to resume at 1:00 p.m. local time in the Paris Ballroom, with all action streamed from 3:30 p.m. onwards and available to watch on this tournament’s live reporting page. Blinds will restart at the 120,000/240,000 level, and a winner will be crowned. Make sure to keep up to date with all updates reported on PokerNews.

The final hand has been played, and the remaining eight players have all bagged up for Day 4. Stay tuned as PokerNews brings you a full recap of the day's action.
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Action folded to the blinds. Chris Brewer went for a raise to 700,000 with K♦10♣ and Roman Hrabec smooth-called with A♣Q♣.
The 3♥10♠7♦ flop gave Brewer the lead and action checked through, bringing in the 10♥ turn to give Brewer trips. He value bet, putting 650,000 into the middle.
The 7♠ river left Hrabec playing a strong ace-high with two pairs, but it was no match for Brewer's full house. Brewer downbet small to 600,000, and Hrabec went very deep into the tank. Eventually, he flicked it in, and Brewer won the final hand of the night.
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Chip leader Naseem Salem opened the action to 400,000 under the gun. Alexis Cruz Martinez flatted from the small blind, as did Joey Weissman from the big blind.
On a flop of 4♣8♦6♥, Salem continued when checked to, betting to the tune of 700,000. Cruz Martinez stuck around, but Weissman did not.
The 9♥ turn checked through, bringing in a board pairing 9♣ on the river. Cruz Martinez then led out for 900,000. Salem called very quickly, but his two pair with A♥8♥ was beaten by Cruz Martinez, who had sneakily limped Q♠Q♦ preflop.
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Chris Brewer opened K♣Q♠ from the hijack, but was able to get away relatively quickly when tablemate Cliff Josephy put in a three-bet to 1,400,000 from the small blind. Brewer was indeed behind, with Josephy holding J♦J♣
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Alexis Cruz Martinez opened the action from middle position with a raise to 450,000. Alexander James jammed 2,420,000 on the button, and Cruz Martinez made sure it was the right decision before calling.
Alexander James: A♦J♠ 
Alexis Cruz Martinez: A♥Q♦
James couldn't improve on the 3♥8♠K♣Q♠9♠ runout, just missing out on the official final table.
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Alexander James open shoved 1,920,000 from early position, holding A♦3♥.
Action folded around to Naseem Salem in the big blind, who threw away 6♠6♦ rather quickly, allowing James to steal the blinds.
The very next hand, he shoved black tens from under the gun, and drew a round of folds to take the blinds again.
