The 2026 World Series of Poker is in full swing, with 56 live bracelet events already in the books. Just shy of $196 million in total prize money has been awarded so far, with plenty of movement atop the WSOP all-time money list as a result.

Negreanu Leads The Big Three
Daniel Negreanu has extended his lead with six cashes totaling $304,250 so far in 2026. Those scores, including a final-table showing in the $600 Deepstack no-limit hold’em and pot-limit Omaha mixed event, have seen him become the first player in WSOP history to surpass $25 million in bracelet-event earnings.
The seven-time bracelet winner from Canada has 300 career WSOP cashes now, which is also the most of any player in the game. His top score remains the $8.3 million he earned as the runner-up in the 2014 $1,000,000 Big One For One Drop. He has four more seven-figure scores in WSOP tournaments: his runner-up finish in the 2019 $100,000 high roller ($1.8 million), his win in the 2024 $50,000 Poker Players Championship ($1.2 million), his win in the 2013 WSOP Asia Pacific main event ($1.1 million), and his victory in a 2013 WSOP Europe €25,000 high roller ($1 million).
Three-time bracelet winner Antonio Esfandiari secured the vast majority of his $21.9 million in WSOP cashes with one win: his triumph in the first-ever Big One For One Drop. He defeated a field of 48 entries in that seven-figure buy-in event to earn over $18.3 million. His only other seven-figure cash in a bracelet event saw him place fourth in the $111,111 One Drop High Roller in 2013 for another $1.4 million.
Reigning WSOP main event and $50,000 Poker Players Championship winner Michael Mizrachi secured over half of his career earnings at the series with his unprecedented run in 2025. He scored $10 million as the last player standing from 9,735 entries in the big dance, adding another $1.3 million with his historic fourth victory in the PPC. Mizrachi has not yet added to his haul in a major way this summer, with only a handful of cashes so far.
Foxen And Mateos In Hot Pursuit
The next two players on this leaderboard, however, have both recorded major scores in 2026. Alex Foxen has cashed seven times this summer, totalling more than $1.8 million in earnings already. This was his fifth final table of the series, including a win in the $10,000 super turbo bounty for his fourth bracelet and $594,246. As a result, his WSOP earnings now sit at over $20.6 million. His largest score at the series saw him win the 2022 $250,000 super high roller for $4,563,700.
Adrian Mateos is now just one good run away from becoming the fifth player to ever surpass $20 million in earnings at the series. The Spanish all-time money leader took down this year’s $250,000 super high roller for his sixth career bracelet and $4,334,411 to push his lifetime total to more than $19.8 million. This was his largest score yet at the series, topping the $3,265,362 he earned for winning this same tournament in 2021.
All-time bracelet leader Phil Hellmuth sits at the forefront of the rest of the top ten. The Poker Hall of Famer has recorded just three cashes so far this series, with his best showing being a seventh-place finish in the $10,000 Omaha eight-or-better Championship.
