Brandon Wilson in the cutoff opened to 800,000. Adrian Mateos in the small blind three-bet enough to cover Wilson, then Sean Winter in the big blind four-bet all-in for 3,950,000. Wilson called to also find himself at risk for 4,225,000.
Sean Winter: A♠Q♠
Brandon Wilson: J♦J♣
Adrian Mateos: A♣10♣
Mateos flopped a flush draw on 9♣8♥6♣, and Winter paired his queen with the Q♦ turn. The 6♥ completed the board so Winter tripled up while Wilson took the two big blinds side pot.
Phil Ivey raised to 600,000 in early position and action folded around to Bryn Kenney in the big blind. Kenney announced a three-bet to 1,650,000, and Ivey responded by quickly moving all in for a total of 5,800,000.
Kenney called just as fast, and the hands were turned up.
Phil Ivey: J♠J♥
Bryn Kenney: Q♠Q♣
Kenney had Ivey dominated, and both players improved to two pair on the 4♥10♦2♣9♣9♠ runout. Kenney's queens remained best, sending Ivey out as the first elimination of the official final table in eighth place.
Adrian Mateos opened to 600,000 in middle position, and Jason Koon stuck in call from the cutoff. Michael Moncek moved all in from the small blind for 2,650,000, with Mateos folding before Koon made the call.
Michael Moncek: 8♥8♦
Jason Koon: A♠J♦
Moncek was flipping and watched Koon hit Broadway on the turn of the K♥4♦10♦Q♠9♦ board. Koon collected the pot, sending Moncek out in ninth place.
Bryn Kenney on the button opened to 2,000,000. Jason Koon in the small blind went into the tank and moved all-in for 4,600,000. Phil Ivey in the big blind folded and Kenney quickly called.
Jason Koon: K♦J♦
Bryn Kenney: J♠7♠
Koon flopped a flush draw on 6♦4♦2♠, and was still in the lead on the 6♥ turn. The 7♦ river paired Kenney's seven, but it also completed Koon's flush so he doubled up.
The time has arrived for the largest buy-in event of the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP), as nine contenders will return today to battle for the bracelet in Event #41: $250,000 Super High Roller No-Limit Hold’em.
From a field of 56 entries comprised of the top minds in the game, just one final table remains to determine the top recipients of the $13,720,000 prize pool. The top spots will be awarded at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, when action resumes at 2:00 p.m. local time.
Leading the way are two heavyweights of the poker world, as all-time tournament money leader Bryn Kenney sits in pole position for a possible third WSOP bracelet after collecting 19,350,000 chips at the end of Day 2. That is good for 65 big blinds, and a heathy advantage over the rest of the field.
Sitting in second spot is Spain's Adrian Mateos, who returns as the only other player above the 50 big blind mark with 16,900,000. Mateos is seeking a sixth WSOP bracelet, having already locked up his second high roller cash of the series.

The final nine players include a quartet in search of their maiden piece of WSOP hardware, led by David Einhorn (13,400,000) who sits in third place entering the final day. Fellow American Brandon Wilson (9,625,000) has 32 big blinds in his stack, one of seven contenders looking to make their 25K Fantasy teams happy with a win later today.
Day 1 chip leader Samuel Mullur (7,825,000) navigated his way into the money to round out the top five stacks, bagging up ahead of Sean Winter (6,450,000).
The final three spots include multiple bracelet winners and some of the most recognizable names in the game. Jason Koon (4,450,000) returns on the left of chip leader Kenney, with just 15 big blinds in his bag. High roller regular Michael Moncek (3,250,000) sits closer to the danger zone, but still has a chance to add a third bracelet to his poker resume.
Rounding out the field is 11-time bracelet winner Phil Ivey (2,750,000), returning to play with just under ten big blinds in his bid to earn a seat at the official final table of eight.
Jason Koon, Phil Ivey
All remaining players have locked up the minimum cash of $518,518, with the top prize of $4,334,411 awaiting tonight's champion.
Action will resume at 2 p.m. local time on Level 19, with blinds of 150,000/300,000 along with a 300,000 big blind ante. Levels will continue to be contested over 60 minutes, with one level scheduled to be played before the feature table goes live on the WSOP YouTube stream.
