Final Eight Return for Super Turbo Bounty Bracelet Battle
It will take more than a single day to determine a winner in Event #84: $5,000 Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold'em, as the remaining eight contenders return 12 hours after bagging for the finale at the 2026 World Series of Poker.
The event drew 1,213 entries on Day 1 at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, with the largest pieces of the $5,579,800 prize pool still to be handed out today. Players will return to their seats at 3 p.m. local time, ready to battle for the top prize of $593,601 and the WSOP bracelet.
Two-time bracelet winner Pete Chen holds a massive lead, as he secured the final knockout of the opening day to finish with 23,825,000 chips. That accounts for nearly 40 percent of the chips in play, and he'll return as the only player above the 25 big blind mark.
Leading the chase of Chen is Najeem Ajez (10,175,000), who was collecting bounties on the opening day while sitting among the chip leaders for the last few hours of play. Yohwan Lim (9,000,000) rounds out the top three, with the rest of the field sitting at 12 big blinds or less.
