The Poker Masters 2026 is nearing its conclusion. The penultimate event is the Event #9: $26K NLH, drawing 50 entries, boosting the prize pool to $1,250,000.
With the money bubble bursting, the series' overall leaderboard leader Adrian Mateos had his unlucky fifth exit, while David Coleman bowed out in 8th place. Just 7 players remain in the hunt for the title.
Each finalist is guaranteed at least $50,000, and the winner will walk away with $412,500.
The spotlight of the final table is on the legendary Daniel Negreanu, who is in top form. After a morning of golf before the tournament's opening day and an evening with a few glasses of wine, he bagged the largest stack.
Hot on his heels are Nicholas Seward, Daniyal Gheba, Brandon Wilson, Sean Perry, Matthew Wantman, and the freshly minted three-time WSOP bracelet holder Jesse Lonis.
