From micro-stack to mountain: Jumalon’s WSOP chip conquest.

Lucas Jumalon’s run at the 2026 WSOP Main Event is straight out of poker fantasyland. According to PokerNews, he bagged barely enough chips to survive Day 1b, sitting on just 7,400. By Day 2, he was back in the game with 146,000, and then he never looked back.

Jumalon’s turning point came on Day 5 with a lucky jack against ace-king, keeping his tournament life alive. He went on to build his stack with a set of tens against Stavila and then picked off players like Musa and Cermeno to amass 194 million chips.

Let’s just say when the final table resumes, everyone else is staring up at a mountain of chips—and it’s all Jumalon’s.

According to PokerNews, Robert Jen has become the go-to statistician for all things WSOP, tracking every hand and every oddball record since the 1970s.

This year, he highlights Perry Green making a final table at 90, the oldest ever to do so in an open event. Thirteen years passed since Green’s last final table, which was also in an Omaha variant.

Negreanu, meanwhile, cemented his legend by surpassing $25 million in WSOP earnings before summer even started. Nick Schulman joined the eight-bracelet club and tied the record for four straight years with a bracelet. Adrian Mateos, still just 31, became the youngest with six bracelets, beating Phil Ivey’s pace by a year.
