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.
Renowned as one of the best Pot-Limit Omaha players in the world, Dylan Weisman has nearly $10,000,000 in live earnings. Weisman will return with 2,800,000 chips and will be seeking his third WSOP gold bracelet.
Australia's own Jarred Graham (2,400,000), who won a WSOP bracelet back in 2013, will be seeking his second and a chance to surpass his career-best score of $255,942.
