Daniel Aharoni Leads Bruno Furth and Final Four Into Big O Championship Finale
Just four players remain in Event #42: $10,000 Big O Championship at the 2026 World Series of Poker, with Daniel Aharoni holding the chip lead heading into the final day at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
This championship event attracted a record-breaking 456 entries, generating a prize pool of $4,240,800. All four remaining players have already locked up $276,471, but the WSOP gold bracelet and the top prize of $861,287 are just a few spots away.
Aharoni enters Day 4 with 13,050,000, nearly half of the chips in play and more than double the stack of anyone else. Behind him, the remaining three players are not separated by much with Aaron Kupin (5,350,000), Bruno Furth (4,575,000), and Doug Lorgeree (4,460,000) all very much in the hunt with around 30 big blinds.
Final Table Seat Draw
| Seat | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Doug Lorgeree | United States | 4,460,000 | 30 |
| 2 | Aaron Kupin | United States | 5,350,000 | 36 |
| 3 | Bruno Furth | United States | 4,575,000 | 31 |
| 4 | Daniel Aharoni | United States | 13,050,000 | 87 |
Furth returns in third position and has the chance to continue his recent success in Omaha tournaments. After winning WSOP bracelets in PLO events in both 2024 and 2025, Furth now sits just a few spots away from adding the prestigious $10,000 Big O Championship to his resume.
Kupin is looking to add another bracelet to his collection after making the final four, while Lorgeree has unfinished business after finishing runner-up in the $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship in 2016.
Cards get back in the air at 1 p.m. local time with play resuming on Level 29 at blinds of 100,000/150,000 with a 150,000 big blind ante. The four remaining players will battle until a champion is crowned and another bracelet is awarded at the 2026 WSOP.
