We’ve seen some turmoil this summer, with certain players questioning if someone not making a profit during the WSOP should even be considered for the Player of the Year title.

While there is nothing in actual rules talking about such a requirement, Deeb decided to post the full breakdown of his efforts this summer showing that he did, in fact, managed to have a profitable series.

It’s a wrap for Daniel Negreanu at the 2026 WSOP.

All the WSOP 2026 bracelet winners in one place.

The list you didn’t know you needed.

Greg Mueller’s journey to the 2026 WSOP Main Event final table reads like a greatest hits album for persistence.

After a hockey career and a trio of WSOP bracelets, Mueller faced years of close calls and self-doubt. In 2019, he wondered aloud if the game had left him behind, only to silence those doubts with another bracelet win.

Now he finds himself as the 'most experienced player left in the field’, according to PokerNews. Mueller hasn’t lost his sense of humor along the way:

After years of patience, setbacks, and a few third-place finishes, Mueller’s return to the biggest poker stage is less about proving himself and more about rediscovering his love for the game.

PokerNews notes that his recent successes have come almost exclusively at the WSOP, with just one online cash elsewhere. Whatever happens at this final table, Mueller’s story is one of patience, perseverance, and not taking yourself too seriously.

Lee Jones has weighed in on the WSOP's sudden introduction of a shot clock during Day 7 of the Main Event.

The move, he argues, was forced by the players themselves after Loren Klein spent 17 minutes tanking over a one-chip call, hoping to outlast a bust-out elsewhere for a $20K pay jump.

According to Jones, the rule change wasn’t draconian, just late. The players, by refusing to enforce the spirit of the game, essentially decided for the WSOP what had to be done.

There is still time to guess, but this one has us scratching our heads.
