The WSOP livestream is now underway.
Poker G.O.A.T. Phil Ivey's deepest run of the 2026 World Series of Poker came to an end in the most expensive tournament on the schedule.
The 11-time bracelet winner was eliminated in eighth place in the $250,000 Super High Roller for $553,270 after running pocket jacks into the pocket queens of Bryn Kenney at the official final table.
While the result falls short of bracelet number 12, it still represents Ivey's best finish of the summer and his first final-table appearance of the series.
The tournament attracted 56 entries and generated a $13,720,000 prize pool, with a first-place prize of $4,334,411 awaiting the eventual champion.
The WSOP has moved the final table to the streamed featured tables area, which means our live reporting will have to be delayed by around 2.5 hours to match the live stream, per the WSOP media guidelines.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
The seven players are now on their first break of the day and will be moved to the main feature table.

Mateos eventually moved all-in on the 3♠. Wilson snap-folded.
Jason Koon led out from the small blind for 525,000 on the 6♠J♥9♦5♣ turn, and David Einhorn made the call in early position.
