Poker G.O.A.T. Phil Ivey's deepest run of the 2026 World Series of Poker came to an end in the most expensive tournament on the schedule.
The 11-time bracelet winner was eliminated in eighth place in the $250,000 Super High Roller for $553,270 after running pocket jacks into the pocket queens of Bryn Kenney at the official final table.
While the result falls short of bracelet number 12, it still represents Ivey's best finish of the summer and his first final-table appearance of the series.
The tournament attracted 56 entries and generated a $13,720,000 prize pool, with a first-place prize of $4,334,411 awaiting the eventual champion.

Zilong Fang raised to 850,000 from middle position. Hang Xu three-bet the pot to 3,500,000. James Quiles moved all in with slightly less. Fang came over the top with an all-in big enough to more than cover Xu's remaining 3,700,000.
Xu took his time deciding what to do. When the clock was finally called, he allowed the time to run out so that his hand was automatically folded.
James Quiles: A♥A♣
Zilong Fang: 9♠9♦
The runout of 10♦2♥4♥K♣7♠ was clean for Quiles, and his aces brought in a massive haul.

Thiago Philipps Machado went all-in from early position for 1,900,000 and was called by Tobias Dammeier on the button to be at risk.
Thiago Philipps Machado: K♥6♠
Tobias Dammeier: A♥K♠
Machado was in deep trouble with a dominated hand, and the flop brought little reason for optimism when it fanned out 10♣9♥3♣.
The 8♦ turn was a spark of hope as Machado gained a straight draw, but he was unable to convert on the J♦ river and was eliminated from contention.

Jacky Lee went all-in for 2,700,000 from early position. Thiago Philipps Machado called from the next seat over to put Lee at risk.
Jacky Lee: K♦Q♦
Thiago Philipps Machado: A♠K♦
Lee was in need of help as his hand was dominated by Machado's big slick.
The 10♦2♠4♠ flop gave little for Lee to work with.
Lee's tournament hopes stayed alive and well on the Q♥ turn as he spiked his three outer to take the dominant lead with one card to go.
The 9♥ river completed the board as Lee did a fist pump in celebration.
