Record-Breaking WSOP Europe Main Event Has €2M First-Place Prize
Organizers have confirmed the 2026 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event is a record-breaking edition, having shattered both the all-time entry and prize pool records when late registration closed on Monday at King’s Casino in Prague.
The six-day €5,200 WSOPE Main Event, initially set with a €10 million guarantee, has generated €13,085,000, making it the largest WSOPE Main Event in history by a monster margin, with total entries also following suit, after 2,617 bullets were fired across three Day 1 starting flights and by those players who jumped in late on Monday's Day 2.
All in all, it means the 2026 WSOPE Main Event has comfortably surpassed the previous record of 817 entries and a €7,761,500 prize pool set in 2023, with a new-record first-place prize of €2 million also set to be awarded when this year's champion is crowned on Friday.
The top 393 players will make the money, with the min-cash at €10,000. The final four will make at least €575,000.
