The WPT World Championship Festival will be held at Wynn Las Vegas from November 27th to December 21st, featuring 85 events. A new $400 Super Gold Million event guarantees $3 million, and the World Championship adds a $1 million mystery prize. The schedule for the WPT World Championship Festival at Wynn Las Vegas has finally been released, and this year's event is larger than ever before. From November 27th to December 21st, a total of 85 events will be held, ensuring there are suitable competitions for tournament players of all bankroll levels. All major events, such as the WPT World Championship and the WPT Prime Championship, will return. However, there is a major change to the $10,400 buy-in World Championship – the World Poker Tour has added a mystery prize of $1 million. The WPT World Championship Festival at Wynn kicked off with a $600 No-Limit Hold'em event, guaranteeing a prize pool of $400,000, and concluded over three weeks later with a $600 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo event. Throughout the season, poker players could find multiple events daily, covering a wide range of poker variations, including No-Limit Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha, TORSE, Mixed Triple Draw, Omaha/8, and Big O. Buy-ins ranged from $400 to $25,800, covering almost all price levels, a stark contrast to the concurrent WSOP Bahamas Series, which primarily targets high-stakes players. The WPT World Championship Festival at Wynn, now in its fifth year, will host the $1,100 WPT Prime Championship from December 5th to 12th, guaranteeing a prize pool of $5 million. Aaron Johnson, the defending champion, defeated 9,876 entrants to win $1,010,400. Another major event is the $1,100 Women's No-Limit Hold'em Championship. This year's event will begin on December 13th, with a guaranteed prize pool of $250,000. There is also a brand new major event: the $400 Super Gold Million, with a guaranteed prize pool of at least $3 million. This event is the live version of the regular Gold Million on the ClubWPT Gold Poker website, but with three times the guaranteed prize. WPT Executive Circuit Director Matt Savage confirmed on X that the Super Gold Million will be held from December 10th to 14th and will be a live-only event. The biggest event in the series, as in previous years, is the $10,400 WPT World Championship. Players who advance through the final stages of this tournament, which has become one of the most prestigious annual poker tournaments, will also receive a mystery prize of $1 million. The tournament will begin on December 13th.

Joao Simao staged a remarkable comeback from just two big blinds to win the Triton Jeju II $200,000 Invitational, taking home 7,250,000 ($), the highest tournament winnings in Brazilian poker history. He defeated Ding Biao heads-up. The Triton Super High Roller Jeju II $200,000 Triton Invitational broke all records. This event, which has become a signature of Triton poker, attracted 173 entries, creating a total prize pool of 34,600,000 ($). After three days of intense competition, Brazilian player Joao Simao emerged victorious, winning a staggering 7,250,000 ($), his second Triton title. This is not only Simao's largest poker prize ever, but also the highest tournament winnings in Brazilian poker history. “It’s unreal, really. Words can’t describe it, you know? I feel so, so lucky, so blessed. This is something that only happens once in a lifetime,” Simao excitedly told PokerNews shortly after lifting the trophy at LES A Casino. Simao’s first Triton title came at last year’s WSOP Paradise $150K event, where the top three were all Brazilian players, a truly remarkable feat. This time, however, the scene was much more international, with the final table representing eight different countries. After a long, back-and-forth heads-up battle, Simao defeated Chinese player Biao Ding, the all-time leader in Hendon Mob money list. Ding won $4,940,000—a career high—and the two players decided not to split the prize money. Meanwhile, American player Seth Davies also set a record, finishing third and becoming the first player in history to reach the final table of a Triton Invitational three times. 2026 Triton Invitational Jeju II Final Table Results: Rank | Player | Country | Prize Money 1st | Joao Simao | Brazil | $ | 7,250,000 2nd | Ding Biao | China | $ | 4,940,000 3rd | Seth Davies | USA | $ | 3,470,000 4th | Wang Yang | China | $ | 2,820,000 5th | Emilien Pitavy | France | $ | 2,245,000 6th | Winfred Yu | Hong Kong | $ | 1,693,000 7th | Hannes Jeschka | Germany | $ | 1,237,000 8th | Thomas Boivin | Belgium | $ | 905,000 9th | Eric Tsai | Taiwan | $ | 749,000

Grant Hart triumphed in the RGPS New Orleans Gold Expedition $800 Main Event, emerging victorious from a field of 279 players to claim the $44,000 prize and his first RGPS Main Event title. The moment for Grant Hart had finally arrived. A regular in the RunGood Poker Series, Hart had always been elusive for a Main Event title until this fateful trip to New Orleans. Hart no longer needed to wait for his moment; he emerged victorious from a field of 279 players in the RGPS New Orleans Gold Expedition $800 Main Event, claiming his first championship. Hart took home the largest piece of the $200,000 prize pool, with the winner taking home $44,000.

I play a lot of PLO, so winning in No-Limit Texas Hold’em means a lot to me.” This victory is Hart’s second-largest single-event prize of his career and his largest single-event prize in a RunGood event, surpassing his 2023 RGPS Tulsa Main Event third-place finish of $29,091. Hart no longer needs to imagine what winning feels like, as he can now call himself the RGPS Main Event champion. Hart started the day with less than 20 big blinds, but his chip stack grew to 35 big blinds by the redraw. As the game progressed, he steadily grew to 85 big blinds with 18 players remaining. Hart remained on the sidelines, observing and maintaining a healthy stack, but he still had a lot of work to do to reach the final table, as he was sixth in chips late in the game. Early in the final table, Hart adopted a conservative strategy. He picked his time but didn’t participate in any large pots. As the final table progressed, things began to change. Hart took control of the game after eliminating My Nguyen in sixth place. “When Ham…”
