After two weeks of intense poker and plenty of emotions, the 2026 World Series of Poker Main Event final table is all set. These nine players will now take a two-week break and return to the Horseshoe Aug. 3, to begin their final three-day push for the prestigious bracelet and the $10 million top prize. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are all guaranteed at least a trip to the cage with a ticket for $1 million. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading the final nine players is 22-year-old Lucas Jumalon of Spokane, Wash. Just at the beginning of his poker career, he’s cashed about $180,000 grinding small-stakes events on the WSOP Circuit and others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His largest cash before this was $22,945 that came by winning a $400 turbo event in 2025. He has 129 big blinds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behind him with 53 bigs is Rami Hammoud, a Canadian with more than a half-million in tournament cashes. He got $123,386 of that by winning the Main Event at the 2023 Playground March Million. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jamie Shaevel is next, with 37 big blinds. The Santa Monica, Calif. resident is approaching $500,000 in tournament cashes, the largest of $54,851 was won by finishing 100th in the 2011 Main Event. In fact, all of six of his five-figure cashes came by popping the money bubble in the Main Event since 2012. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canada’s (via Germany) Greg Meuller is hunting for his fourth WSOP bracelet, and with 32 big blinds, he has plenty of time to use his vast experience to give the rest of the table fits. He’s cashed more than $3.5 million in his career, but this is his largest cash to date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’s had a great 2026 WSOP, finishing in the top 10 in two events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike Gagliano sits behind Mueller with 31 big blinds — and one WSOP bracelet he grabbed in 2016 by winning a $2,500 event. One of four Americans at the final table, he has secured more than $2.5 million poker tournament cashes since 2008. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

France’s Mario Boos also has a healthy 29 big blinds entering his August battle. He’s cashed a few times in this year’s WSOP, but his biggest cash of the summer came in a $800 event at the ARIA Poker Classic where a fifth-place finish added $12,000 to his lifetime stack of $220,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lauri Saaskilahti may be the least experienced player of the final nine, but his 25 big blinds is bound to give his opponents headaches as they try to level-up. The Finn’s best cash of $83,116 came with a 14-place finish in the Main Event of EPT Barcelona. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Han Feng owns one WSOP Circuit ring, and like Jumalon, is a mid-stakes tour grinder with $2 million in cashes. The American has locked-in dozens and dozens of cashes in the relatively short time of five years. He sits with 17 big blinds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evagoras Evagorou made history by becoming the first player from Cyprus to make the WSOP Main Event final table. A quarter-million man, this is his fourth cash at the 2026 WSOP. His best cash up until now was for $45,490 he grabbed with a sixth-place finish at the 2022 Merit Poker Retro Series in Kyrenia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Massive pay-jumps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The players will have plenty to think about in the days leading to their return on Aug. 3. They are all guaranteed at least $1 million, but with minimum pay-jumps of a quarter-million dollars, the pressure will be whistling louder than a steam engine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
