Wang Short

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Jesse Lonis raised on the button to 280,000, Yang Wang three-bet to 920,000, and Lonis called.

Both players checked as the flop came 9210. When the 5 hit the turn, Wang asked, "How much is in the pot?"

The dealer responded with "two million."

Wang announced, "pot," but before he finished counting out the chips, Lonis had put him all in for an extra 950,000.

Wang went deep into the tank, clearly pained by the situation. After a long time thinking, Wang eventually folded.

Stephen Hubbard limped from early position, and Dylan Weisman completed the small blind. Jesse Lonis checked his option.

The flop came 73J, and Weisman checked to Lonis, who fired out for 240,000. Hubbard made the call, and Weisman got out of the way.

On the 9 turn, Lonis fired out a second bullet of 800,000, and Hubbard made the call.

The dealer peeled off the 4 as the river, and Lonis checked it over to Hubbard, who went into the tank before he fired out a river bet of 1,200,000, which in turn sent Lonis deep into the tank. He cut out the call numerous times and contemplated his move before he made the call, but mucked his cards on seeing Hubbard table A1099 for a turned set.

Just 7 players remain in Event #5: $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2026 World Series of Poker. The 716 field which generated a prize pool of $3,293,600, will return at 12 p.m. for the final day here at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, with a WSOP gold bracelet and the $595,388 top prize still up for the taking.

Chip leader Jesse Lonis (17,610,000) has accumulated nearly $30,000,000 in live earnings and two WSOP bracelets. Lonis' first bracelet win came back in 2023 in Event #71: $50,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha, so he is no stranger to competing against the best of the best, and this final table is no different.

Hot on Lonis' heels is Stephen Hubbard (5,000,000), a mixed-game specialist who has accumulated more than $1,000,000 in live poker earnings and has closed out big-field tournaments all over the globe.
