The Wildhorse Resort & Casino is once again gearing up for another exciting edition of the annual Fall Poker Round Up series in Pendleton, Oregon. The venue will again play host to an action-packed schedule for one of the most popular poker festivals in the Pacific Northwest.
The 2026 Fall Poker Round Up runs from Nov. 5-15, with 11 standard tournaments and five super satellites. All 16 events have added money going into the prize pool, culminating in the $550 buy-in no-limit hold’em main event, which has $6,000 in added cash value. All told, $30,000 in added money will be awarded across the series.
Buy-ins range from $220 to $550 for the standard tournaments, featuring multiple game formats including no-limit hold’em, Omaha eight-or-better, Omaha eight-or-better/seven card stud eight-or-better mix, H.E.R.O.S., and a seniors event for those aged 50 years or higher. The $115 buy-in super satellites, which run throughout the series, offer a chance to play your way into the $550 main event.

Big Names Who Broke Out At Past Round Up Festivals
Wildhorse Casino has served as a training ground for some of the most successful tournament poker players in the world in recent years. At the 2026 Spring Poker Round Up, Lucas Jumalon won the opening event on April 26. Three months later, he won the 2026 World Series of Poker main event and the $10 million first-place prize.
Jumalon’s victory in Pendleton saw him best a field of 389 entries for what was then the second-largest score ($16,170) of his now booming career.
Jumalon is not the only player to follow a big win at Wildhorse with a life-changing run at the WSOP main event. Over one year ago, John Wasnock took down the 2025 Spring Poker Round Up main event, outlasting 584 entries to earn $56,330. Mere months later, he had a dream run to a $6-million payday in the 2025 WSOP main event, finishing runner-up to Michael Mizrachi.
Also, Oregon native Angela Jordison pulled off an incredibly impressive run at the 2015 Spring Poker Round Up, winning three consecutive tournaments over a three-day span.
The 2026 Spring Poker Round Up main event drew 653 entries, creating a $315,175 prize pool. Clarkston, Washington’s Michael Jutte won the title, taking home a $38,941 first-place prize. That was his second main event win in a Round Up festival, having already won the marquee title back in 2018. He also has three additional titles in other Round Up events over the years.
