Poker G.O.A.T. Phil Ivey's deepest run of the 2026 World Series of Poker came to an end in the most expensive tournament on the schedule.
The 11-time bracelet winner was eliminated in eighth place in the $250,000 Super High Roller for $553,270 after running pocket jacks into the pocket queens of Bryn Kenney at the official final table.
While the result falls short of bracelet number 12, it still represents Ivey's best finish of the summer and his first final-table appearance of the series.
The tournament attracted 56 entries and generated a $13,720,000 prize pool, with a first-place prize of $4,334,411 awaiting the eventual champion.

Sami Benhayun went all-in for 1,530,000 under the gun, and Oliver Tot on the button called, taking them to the ensuing showdown.
Sami Benhayun: A♥J♠ 
Oliver Tot: K♣K♦
Tot's kings held on the 7♦5♣4♣Q♥10♥ runout. As the dealer was making sure that he was covered, Benhayun was relating that apparently he got eliminated in the same event with exactly the same hand some time ago.
Once the count was done and the elimination confirmed, Benhayun headed to the payout counter.

Action folded to Robert Gill in the small blind, who raised to 450,000, only for Stanley Lee, who sat in the big blind, to three-bet all in for 2,150,000. Gill thought for a while and made the call to put Lee at risk.
Stanley Lee: A♥8♠
Robert Gill: K♥10♥
Not the door card Lee wanted to see on the 10♠9♠J♦ flop, and when the Q♠ turn gave Gill a higher straight, Lee needed to hit a spade to stay alive. No joy on the 4♦ river, and Lee was sent packing.
