Busy Day at the WSOP, 8 Events Ongoing
A busy day at the 2026 WSOP saw Daniel Negreanu and Martin Kabrhel claim bracelets, while other events, including the Main Event, continue to unfold.
TL;DR
Daniel Negreanu secured his eighth WSOP bracelet in the $100k High Roller PLO, and Martin Kabrhel earned his sixth in the WSOP Online $3,200 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller for $195,195. Eight events are currently active, including the early stages of the Main Event, where Joe Cada has a significant chip stack.
Two notable bracelet wins occurred on July 2, 2026, at the World Series of Poker. Daniel Negreanu captured his eighth career WSOP bracelet in the $100,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha event. Simultaneously, Martin Kabrhel, known for balancing multiple deep runs, secured his sixth bracelet by winning the WSOP Online Event #20: $3,200 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller, earning $195,195. Kabrhel's victory was particularly remarkable as he was concurrently in the money in three separate WSOP tournaments.
Several other events are in progress. In Event #77: $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball, Allen Kessler is among the final five players vying for a bracelet. David Miscikowski holds the chip lead in Event #79: $3,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em with 38 players remaining, while five-time bracelet winner John Juanda is also making a deep run in the same event with 32 players left.
The 2026 WSOP Main Event has completed its first day, with former champion Joe Cada accumulating a substantial chip count. Meanwhile, Daisuke Ogita claimed the title in Event #72: $1,000 Mini Main Event, taking home a prize of $1,000,000.
Phil Hellmuth made his customary grand entrance at the WSOP Main Event, appearing dressed as a superhero. In other Main Event news, Leo Margets, a final table participant last year, is facing an early struggle, with her stack reduced to 8,000 chips from an initial 60,000 on Day 1a.
