2026 WSOP Results: How the Top Poker Pros Really Performed This Summer

The World Series of Poker is over, and while bracelet counts and tournament victories grab the headlines, many of poker's biggest names have started sharing something fans don't always get to see—their complete summer results.

Some revealed profits, others only shared tournament cashes, and a few showed just how much volume it takes to survive seven weeks of poker in Las Vegas.

Here's a look at how some of the game's biggest stars performed during the 2026 WSOP.

Jamie Dwan: The Summer's Biggest Winner

No player featured in the post had a bigger summer than Jamie Dwan.

• Events Played: 47

• Bullets Fired: 71

• Cashes: 10

• Buy-Ins: Approximately $185,000

• Tournament Cashes: Approximately $2.59 million

Dwan's incredible summer was powered by his victory in the $50,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em, where he earned more than $2.27 million. One massive score completely transformed his summer into one of the biggest financial successes of the series.

Daniel Negreanu: Another Highly Profitable Summer

Daniel Negreanu once again proved he can compete with the game's best.

• Cashes: 9

• WSOP Bracelets: 1 (his eighth career bracelet)

• Reported WSOP Profit: $1,693,518

• Bonus: Won the 25K Fantasy League for an additional $250,000

Negreanu also finished sixth in the WSOP Player of the Year race and capped off another outstanding summer both on and off the felt.

Shaun Deeb: Great Results, Smaller Profit Than Expected

Shaun Deeb entered the summer as one of the favorites for WSOP Player of the Year and leaves Las Vegas leading the race.

His numbers:

• Bullets Fired: 122

• Cashes: 6

• Tournament Winnings: $956,086

• Reported Profit: $89,286

• ROI: 10.3%

Despite winning his ninth WSOP bracelet, finishing runner-up once, making a deep Main Event run, and reaching multiple final tables, Deeb's reported profit shows just how expensive playing a full WSOP schedule can be.

Jeremy Ausmus: Consistency Pays Off

Jeremy Ausmus continued one of the most consistent tournament careers in poker.

• Entries: 44

• Cashes: 9

• Tournament Cashes: $842,961

Ausmus didn't disclose whether he finished the summer ahead or behind financially, but another strong WSOP added to his already impressive résumé.

Josh Arieh: Another Deep WSOP Run

Josh Arieh quietly put together another excellent series.

• Events Played: 42

• Bullets Fired: 69

• Cashes: 15

His biggest results included:

• Runner-up in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship: $895,837

• Runner-up in the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship: $275,620

• Another six-figure cash during the series.

While Arieh didn't release his overall financial results, those finishes almost certainly made for a profitable summer.

Darren Rabinowitz: The Ultimate Summer Saver

Few players finished the WSOP stronger than Darren Rabinowitz.

Before the final day of the series, he was actually down money.

Then everything changed.

• Events Played: 38

• Bullets Fired: 69

• Cashes: 7

• Buy-Ins: $105,220

• Tournament Cashes: $792,551

• Reported Profit: $687,331

His victory in the $5,000 Eight-Handed No-Limit Hold'em Championship earned $695,256 and completely changed the story of his summer.

The Real Lesson From the 2026 WSOP

Looking only at tournament cashes can paint an incomplete picture.

Jamie Dwan's $2.59 million in winnings made him the biggest reported earner among the players who shared their results, while Daniel Negreanu posted more than $1.69 million in reported profit. Shaun Deeb's numbers, however, may be the most eye-opening: nearly $1 million in cashes translated into less than $90,000 in profit after an expensive summer of firing 122 bullets.

That's tournament poker in a nutshell.

One massive score can define an entire summer, while dozens of cashes may only produce a modest return after accounting for buy-ins and expenses. It's a reminder that in professional poker, the headline payouts rarely tell the whole story.
