The final Day 1 flight of the WSOP Main Event is streaming live right now.

Tune in and watch Day 1D action of the 2026 WSOP Main Event. This is always the largest flight in terms of entry numbers, and many big-name pros prefer it, so expect some familiar faces in the crowd.

We are now up to 7,000 entries in the Main.

And the registration remains open for quite a while still.

Doug Polk joins the Main Event, and you can get a 5% sweat.

Polk only plays a handful of WSOP events, but even he turned up for the Main, and one lucky fan will get 5% sweat. That’s one way to try and attract some good karma.

Check out this cool overview of all the Main Event winners so far.

Whose name and what hand will go up to that wall next?

It’s golf and partying on this edition of Daniel Negreanu’s WSOP vlog.

Day 41 of the 2026 World Series of Poker and episode 41 of Negreanu’s vlog, without skipping a single day. Not too much poker in this one, but if you love golf, you’ll definitely enjoy it.

Get your hands on some WSOP Express tickets.

GGPoker is giving away three $10 WSOP Express tickets. You just need to guess what will be the biggest stack held by a GG qualifier after the Day 2 action concludes. You can use the official chip counts at the end of Day 1 as your starting point and take it from there.

Alex Foxen is back at the top of the POY leaderboard, breaking the 3,000-point mark.

Shaun Deeb is hot on his heels, though, and there are no slouches in the top ten, so there is a lot of work to be done and quite a few more tournaments to go.

The Main Event hits different for Aaron Barone, too.

Barone is one of many pros who took to X this week to describe their excitement for the Main Event and how, no matter how long you’ve been playing, it always hits differently.

What is the secret of elite players who keep crushing? It’s not just GTO!

Learning GTO is one piece of the puzzle, but there is a lot more to it. Navigating tough multi-way spots and coming up with correct decisions is what separates the truly elite players from the rest, say 'bencb.’

No bracelet, but Texas Mike is still in the running for the POY title.

We can debate his poker strategy till cows come home, but no one can deny that this man is truly dedicated to pursuing the Player of the Year title. It makes it really hard to root against him, so go Mike, do your thing!
