The tournament many players consider the toughest in poker gets underway on Sunday as the $50,000 Poker Players Championship returns to the 2026 World Series of Poker at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

Now in its 16th edition, the PPC has become one of the most coveted titles in the game, with only the WSOP Main Event rivaling it in prestige for many of poker's elite.

Over five days, a field packed with mixed-game specialists and Hall of Famers will battle across nine disciplines in pursuit of the Chip Reese Memorial Trophy and a place alongside some of the game's greatest champions.

The seven-handed tournament rotates between No-Limit Hold'em, Seven Card Stud, Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better, Razz, Pot-Limit Omaha, Limit Hold'em, No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw, Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better, and 2-7 Triple Draw. Players begin with 300,000 chips and face 100-minute levels throughout the event.
