On September 7, 2026, the first round of the CSOP-IV Chaoshan Poker Series Main Event officially concluded. After three consecutive days of competition, the starting groups finished, and the final batch of players advancing to Group C and the fast D group were determined, officially ushering in the second round of the Main Event.

It has been officially confirmed that all players who advanced from the first round will return to the arena on September 7th at 12:00 PM to compete in the second round of the main event. With the group stage concluded, the intensity of the competition will further increase, and the main event will officially enter the later stages with a faster elimination pace.

The final qualifying matches for Group C and Group D in the main tournament have been completed.

The first round of the CSOP-IV main event has concluded after three days of competition.

The team that finished the race last was:

• Main Event Group C

• Main Event Quick Group D

The two groups of contestants who have advanced have all been determined and will join the previous contestants from Groups A and B in the second round.

The official list of participants for the second round was released simultaneously and sorted according to the number of scoreboards and seating arrangements.

Since the original full list was published as an image and the text did not list all the players' names and scorecards, this article will not transcribe any unconfirmed information.

The second round of the main event will begin on September 7th at 12:00.

According to the tournament schedule, the second round of the CSOP-IV main event will be held on:

September 7, 12:00

officially.

After three days of initial competition, all those who advanced will regroup to compete for seats in the next stage.

Starting from the second round, the chip difference between players and the table distribution will have a more direct impact on the subsequent pace. Players who have accumulated a large chip count in the first round will have more room to maneuver, while players with short chip counts will need to make all-in decisions earlier.

Three additional qualifying matches will be added on September 7th, from 2 to 7.

In addition to the second round of the main event, the organizing committee has also announced the latest supplementary events.

The following will be added at 17:00 on September 7th:

"Maruku Seed Stem" changed three times from 2 to 7.

This event further enriches the mixed game content of CSOP-IV, allowing the series to cover more different poker games in addition to NLH and Omaha.

The main supplementary race champion of the day

Competition in the team leaderboard is heating up.

With the first round of the main event concluded, the CSOP-IV team standings are gradually entering a crucial stage.

The results of each team in the main event and the supplementary events will affect the overall points. As more deep runs and champions emerge, the gap between the rankings continues to narrow.

Once the main event enters its second round, higher-ranked players will be able to earn more points, so the subsequent competition for advancement will not only affect the main event itself but will also directly impact the team rankings.

This session of the CSOP mini-class features a presentation by teacher Lyon:

The Underlying Logic of Winning Top Player Tournaments

The content focuses on how to maintain consistent performance across multiple tournaments and improve long-term scoring efficiency in the annual MVP points competition.

For large-scale series, winning a single match is important, but how to consistently progress to higher levels and accumulate rankings and points is also a core competency in long-term competition.

The main event has entered the second round, and the knockout stage has officially been upgraded.

With the completion of Group C and Quick Group D, the first round of the CSOP-IV main event has officially come to an end.

At 12:00 on September 7, all the advancing players will return to the Shantou Sports Center to begin the second round of the main tournament.

After the initial group eliminations over the first three days of competition, each subsequent elimination round will intensify the competition for the championship. Who can quickly increase their score in the second round, and who can mount a comeback from a short score, will be the most important focus of the CSOP-IV match reports going forward.
