Sponsors
In the 991st episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by FanDuel Poker, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Ben Ludlow are at Level 9 Studios in Las Vegas to discuss the final table of the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event!
Just nine players remain in contention for the bracelet and $10,000,000 first-place prize, with 22-year-old Lucas Jumalon holding an unprecedented chip lead. Others at the final table include bracelet winners Michael "Gags" Gagliano & Greg "FBT" Mueller, while a plethora of big names just missed out, including Will Givens, Todd Brunson, Shaun Deeb, and former champ Hossein Ensan.
The hosts offer their thoughts and predictions on how they think the final table will play out, plus talk about Maurice Hawkins falling just short of a bracelet yet again, and the return of Michael Rocco from the farm!
