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.
James Obst raised to 80,000 in the cutoff. Matthew Beinner then three-bet to 280,000 in the small blind, which Obst called.

Schulman was ahead with top pair, while they both had the same low draw. The 8♦ turn was no help to Troha, and Schulman held up on the J♠ river to earn the double up.
