WSOP announces GTO Wizard as the official poker training partner for the 2026 series.

The WSOP has announced GTO Wizard as the official poker training partner for the 2026 series, providing real-time analysis of "best plays" during live streams. Top player Samuel Mullur stated that he uses the platform daily to prepare.

If you've been following the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP), you've likely noticed the GTO Wizard logo on the new giant "mothership stage" in Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

This is because this world-leading poker training platform is now the official poker training partner of the WSOP, but its involvement goes far beyond just some pretty billboards surrounding the biggest stage of poker.

Anyone watching the live stream will see the GTO Wizard's "Optimal Play" graph during key hands, providing players with real-time insights into the decisions they face and showing whether they have chosen the GTO-preferred action in a particular situation.

This feature has become a regular part of the broadcasts this summer, allowing fans to better understand how often the world's top players follow theory and when they are ready to deviate from it.

Most importantly, this serves as a reminder of how much the game has evolved in recent years—the concept of GTO has become deeply embedded in the highest levels of tournament poker and is now almost a prerequisite for any serious player.

Samuel Mullur: "I use it every day, all day long."

Samuel Mullur is one of the most exciting young stars in tournament poker. He is a regular on the Triton Circuit and one of the many high rollers in this summer's WSOP schedule.

During a dinner break at one of the highest buy-in events in the series, Mullur spoke to PokerNews, praising the WSOP's partnership with GTO Wizard and the platform's role in his personal preparation.

"I'm thrilled with this collaboration," he said. "I think GTO Wizard is doing a lot of great things. They have many fantastic partners. Triton, for example, is one of them."

"It is the easiest solver to use and has the best and largest database on the market."

"I think they are making some very smart and wise business decisions, and it's an important part of what I'm learning. It's the easiest-to-use solver and has the best and largest database on the market."

When asked how often he used the platform before and during the busy WSOP schedule, Mullur said, "I basically use it every day, all day long, and I think it's very helpful for preparation. So yes, I use it frequently."

"This is where the history of poker was born."

Regarding this collaboration, the CEO of GTO Wizard emphasized the importance of linking with the WSOP in an era where solver-based learning has become central to elite tournament preparation, and specifically mentioned integrating GTO Wizard analysis directly into the live viewing experience.

"Our partnership with the WSOP combines the world's most iconic poker brand with cutting-edge training technology, providing players around the world with the tools to compete in the highest-level events," a statement read.

"Personally, this collaboration means a lot to me. The WSOP is more than just a tournament series; it's where poker history was born. I'm incredibly proud to be a part of that story through our 'Best Play' segment."
