Eric Wasserson<\/span><\/p><\/li>

Brian Rast<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul>

Among them, defending champion Brian Rast failed to achieve his dream of winning the championship again, ending his journey in this year's PPC prematurely.<\/span><\/p>

Eric Wasserson, after being severely defeated by Roy Thung, was subsequently eliminated by Phil Ivey in the Razz project.<\/span><\/p>

Over $1.34 million in prize money awaits the winner.<\/h2>
This year's PPC attracted 108 participants, creating a total prize pool of $5.13 million.<\/span><\/p>
The remaining 15 players have all secured at least $102,474 in prize money.<\/span><\/p>
The final prize money distribution is as follows:<\/span><\/p>
Ranking<\/span><\/th> bonus<\/span><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
champion<\/span><\/td> $1,343,764<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
runner up<\/span><\/td> $895,837<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
Third place<\/span><\/td> $600,698<\/span><\/td><\/tr>

5th place<\/span><\/td> $301,405<\/span><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
For all the athletes still in the competition, the real goal is clearly only the championship trophy and the gold bracelet.<\/span><\/p>
Million-Dollar Manufacturing Machine Enters the Final Table<\/h2>
Besides the PPC, another highlight of Day 29 is Event #50: $1,500 Millionaire Maker.<\/span><\/p>
After several days of intense competition, the final nine-player lineup was officially determined.<\/span><\/p>
Michael Monroig leads the final table with 73,900,000 chips and is poised to win his first WSOP bracelet and a $1.25 million first-place prize.<\/span><\/p>
It's worth noting that all nine players who made it to the final table have been guaranteed at least $150,068 in prize money, and the champion and runner-up will both become millionaires.<\/span><\/p>
Preview of the 30th Match Day<\/h2>
With the PPC entering its final two days, the battle for the championship is about to reach its most intense stage.<\/span><\/p>
Key highlights of Match Day 30 include:<\/span><\/p>
Benny Glaser aims for his 9th WSOP gold bracelet.<\/span><\/p><\/li>
Phil Ivey pursues his dream of becoming a PPC champion.<\/span><\/p><\/li>
Phil Hellmuth strives for the 18th gold medal in history.<\/span><\/p><\/li>
Jason Mercier returns to championship contention<\/span><\/p><\/li>
The Millionaire Maker champion is about to be crowned.<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul>
As one of the most technically demanding tournaments in the WSOP, PPC has always been regarded as the ultimate stage for testing all-around skills.<\/span><\/p>
With such a star-studded final 15 lineup, whoever ultimately wins will be one of the most prestigious champions of the 2026 WSOP.<\/span><\/p>
