2026 WSOP Day 49: Extra Day Needed With Four Left in $10,000 6-Max

As the 2026 World Series of Poker Main Event takes a historic three-week hiatus ahead of its final table, there’s still plenty to fight for in the remaining WSOP schedule.

Three bracelets were awarded today, as Johnny Oshana conquered a massive 11,185 field in the Gladiators of Poker and Yanting Jiang took down the Mid-Stakes Championship for a cool $1.15 million.

Meanwhile, Ori Hasson won his second bracelet in The Closer to round out the day. But with the $10,000 6-Max Championship heading to overtime, big names galore in the $25,000 H.O.R.S.E. and players looking for a cash in the Summer Saver, PokerNews is here to summarize all the action.

Four Left in $10k 6-Max Champs

Fahredin Mustafov will take the chip lead into an unscheduled Day 4 of Event #94: $10,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold’em Championship after 11 hours of six-handed action.

The Bulgarian professional, who also topped the counts at the end of Day 2, ducked and weaved his way through the 33 returning players before bagging 11,375,000 to finish as the overnight chip leader once again. He’ll return in the best position of the final four, all with their sights set on the bracelet and the $1,001,391 top prize.

The United States’ David Peters sits second with 9,025,000, while seven-time bracelet winner Calvin Anderson returns with 7,275,000 as he looks to capture his third bracelet of the series. Lithuania’s Dominykas Mikolaitis bagged 6,050,000 after winning multiple all-ins during the final level, including the last hand of the night when his ace-jack held against Mustafov’s ace-ten.

The remaining players will return for an unscheduled Day 4 at 1 p.m. local time on Tuesday, July 14, inside the Horseshoe Events Center

Vitch Leads in Event #96: $3,000 6-Handed PLO

The final straight PLO event of the 2026 World Series of Poker came in the form of Event #96: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha. Just 158 of the initial 892 entrants returned today in the hopes of taking home a piece of the $2,381,640 prize pool. After ten levels of play, just 18 players stood at day’s end with any hope of the bracelet and the $407,137 cash prize sitting up top.

Leading the final three tables is a familiar face, as three-time WSOP bracelet winner Christopher Vitch (4,710,000) sits with the only stack eclipsing four million.

Also sitting at the top of the counts are a trio of 25k Fantasy players in the forms of Biao Ding (3,940,000), five-time WSOP bracelet winner Robert Mizrachi (3,515,000), and 10-time WSOP bracelet winner Erik Seidel (2,860,000). Seidel’s bracelet this summer came 34 years after his first title back in 1992.

Players will return tomorrow at 1:00 pm to play down to a winner.

Chino Rheem Bags the Lead in Day 1 of $25k H.O.R.S.E. High Roller

A total of 109 entrants took their seats for Event #97: $25,000 High Roller H.O.R.S.E., the last high roller on the schedule. By the time the final card was dealt on Day 1, just 64 players remained, with Chino Rheem leading the way after bagging 641,000.

Rheem, who boasts over $20 million in tournament earnings, has had several cashes this summer, with his biggest result being a runner-up finish in Event #49: $2,500 Freezeout No-Limit Hold’em. Rheem is still looking for his elusive first gold bracelet, but currently sits in pole position to make another run at the final table. Sitting hot on his heels is Arthur Morris with 638,000, and rounding out the podium spots is Patrick Stacey with 552,000.

The second flight in Event #95: $500 Summer Saver saw 3,208 entries with just 434 players bagging up for Day 2.

At the head of the pack is Michael Danley. Fresh from cashing the Ultra Stack less than two weeks ago, he pipped Japan’s Shion Sakamoto and Poland’s Monika Hrabec to the Day 1b chip lead.

Also featuring prominently is three-time WSOP bracelet winner David Prociak, who sits fourth in chips. Day 1b’s survivors will join those from Day 1a on Tuesday at 12 p.m. for Day 2.

WSOP Schedule: Tuesday, July 14

For the first time since July 1, tomorrow’s WSOP action will not feature any WSOP Main Event play, as that tournament takes an almost three-week break before the final table.

Bracelets are set to be awarded in the Summer Saver, which resumes at 12 p.m. and $3,000 6-Max PLO, which gets back underway at 1 p.m.

Meanwhile, action will continue in the $25,000 H.O.R.S.E. with a winner crowned in that one on Wednesday.

With just three more events left in this year’s WSOP schedule, two of them will start on Wednesday. Day 1 of the $800 Deepstack starts at 10 a.m., before the $5,000 NLHE 8-Max starts at 2 p.m.
