Nick Pupillo Leads WPT Venetian Fall Championship Final Six
Nick Pupillo will take the chip lead into the six-player final of the 2026 WPT Venetian Las Vegas Fall Championship on Tuesday, November 10. The $5,000 Main Tour event drew 510 entries at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas and built a $2,346,000 prize pool, according to the World Poker Tour’s official updates.
Pupillo finished Monday with 8,525,000 chips, about one-third of the chips in play. Daniyal Gheba follows with 5,725,000. Nick Yunis has 4,600,000, Matt Affleck 3,250,000, Craig Mason 1,775,000 and Anthony Piacquadio 1,625,000. The counts are the official end-of-day stacks, not final results.
A WPT title still to be decided
The WPT lists an advertised first-place package of $446,800, including a $10,400 entry into the season-ending WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas. That amount is not an actual payout to a champion yet and could change if the finalists make a deal. Each of the six is guaranteed at least $88,000. The figures are gross tournament awards, not player profit.
The final table is scheduled by the WPT to begin at 11 a.m. Las Vegas time on November 10, with a delayed livestream. No winner had been determined when this report was prepared. The festival runs November 5–10 at The Venetian Resort.
