Overview
- The Main Event completed Day 6 on Sunday with 62 players remaining and Tyler Gaston holding the biggest stack at 21,000,000 chips.
- Hossein Ensan returned with one of the largest stacks and is the only former Main Event champion still in contention.
- Defending champion Michael Mizrachi was eliminated on Day 5 after losing a key hand to Ensan, ending his bid to repeat and earning $50,000.
- Shaun Deeb survived to Day 7 with a substantial stack and his deep run has meaningful implications for the WSOP Player‑of‑the‑Year race.
- The tournament drew 9,208 entrants for an $85,634,400 prize pool, final table play is scheduled for early August, and high‑roller side events such as Daniel Negreanu's $50K run are continuing alongside the Main Event.
