Lucas Jumalon Dominates 2026 WSOP Main Event Final Table

Lucas Jumalon started day 9 of the 2026 WSOP Main Event with a significant chip lead and ended the night with 212,000,000 chips. Jumalon, who was already the top stack with over a third of the chips in play to start, won a hefty pot in the first orbit with pocket eights to become the first player to surpass 200 million. After taking down that pot, he chipped up to 214,000,000, or just shy of 3,567 times the initial starting stack of 60,000 for this championship event.

Han Feng, a 27-year-old from Houston, went from the second-shortest stack to a clear second place position with 106,500,000 chips. Feng had the poker day of his life in a costume straight out of manga. His One Piece-inspired outfit, channeling the pink-feathered, open-chested jacket and pants of Donquixote Doflamingo, cost him $200. With the $500,000 Fang made for outlasting two players on day 9 of this tournament, and the potential of a lot more to come, it seems to have been a good investment.

Lauri Saaskilahti from Finland sits comfortably in third place with 84,500,000 chips. He spent much of Monday’s action in second place, and Saaskilahti was one of the few players to even briefly halt Jumalon’s overwhelming, consistent pressure throughout the day. Rami Hammoud from Canada sits in fourth place overnight with 45,500,000 chips, followed closely by four-time WSOP bracelet winner Michael Gagliano. Jamie Shaevel is in sixth place with 33,000,000 chips, and Greg Mueller rounds out the final seven with 29,500,000 chips. Evagoras Evagorou from Cyprus was eliminated in ninth place, earning $1,000,000.
