Path to WSOP 2026: WSOP Express Qualifiers
The WSOP Express is one of the most straightforward paths to the $10,000 Main Event in Las Vegas. It is a structured event with multiple stages available to every region (and thus every players) where GGPoker is accessible.
Since this is a multi stage qualifier, it does not have one individual buy-in. It is actually comprised of three progressive steps:
- Lower-cost feeder tournaments award tickets to the next level of satellites.
- Mid-tier qualifiers then lead into final-stage events.
- Final-stage tournaments award WSOP Main Event packages, with some also including travel and hotel support.
Players can find the the Express qualifier under the WSOP tab on GGPoker, with clear labeling for each qualifying step. WSOP Express will be available on the client all throughout spring and early summer, meaning there is plenty of time and plenty of chances to qualify.

World Series of Poker 2025 in Short
The 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) was defined by historic performances and high-stakes drama. Held at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, the 56th annual series attracted massive fields, including a Main Event that nearly broke the all-time attendance record.
The Summer of "The Grinder"
Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi delivered what many experts consider the most dominant single-summer performance in poker history.
His legendary run began with a historic victory in Event #66: $50,000 Poker Players Championship (PPC). By defeating Bryn Kenney heads-up, Mizrachi secured his fourth career PPC title, becoming the first person to win that elite event four times, and his seventh career bracelet.
Mizrachi then achieved the "unthinkable" by winning the $10,000 WSOP Main Event just weeks later.
Outlasting a field of 9,735 entrants, he claimed the $10,000,000 top prize and his eighth career bracelet. His victory was fueled by a dramatic Day 8 comeback, where he surged from just three big blinds to the chip lead.
In the final hand, Mizrachi turned a flush with ten-three of clubs to defeat John Wasnock’s two pair.
Instant Hall of Fame Induction
In an unprecedented move, Mizrachi was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame immediately following his Main Event triumph.
Bypassing the traditional voting process, WSOP Vice President Jack Effel announced the induction at the final table, supported by legends like Phil Hellmuth and Phil Ivey.
Mizrachi became the 65th member of the Hall of Fame, with 31 of 33 living members voting "yes" in an emergency motion.
WSOP 2025 Notable Results and Scandals
The series was not without controversy.
Event #1: $1,000 Mystery Millions and several online events faced significant technical disruptions that impacted the integrity of the games, leading to the cancellation of at least one online bracelet event.
There was also a notable controversy during the Millionaire Maker event that made headlines. The event was overshadowed by a significant controversy involving allegations of collusion and soft play at the final table.
This incident sparked a formal investigation by tournament officials and led to a heated debate within the poker community regarding player conduct and event integrity.
On the felt, other remarkable results included Spain's Leo Margets finishing seventh in the Main Event for $1.5 million, becoming the first woman to reach the final table in nearly 30 years.
Additionally, Benny Glaser continued his dominance by winning two bracelets during the series in mixed game events.

History of the World Series of Poker
The WSOP was the vision of Benny Binion, who rebranded a downtown Vegas casino as Binion’s Horseshoe in 1951.
The former Dallas gangster always looked for some media attention to bring in gamblers and believed a high-stakes poker game featuring some of the best players in the country could do just that.
That first event brought in only a handful of players, many from Texas, including poker legends like Doyle Brunson, Johnny Moss, and Amarillo Slim Preston.
That initial WSOP didn’t even feature a tournament. Those in attendance played cash games in various formats with the players voting Moss as the best all-around player.
A Texas Hold’em tournament format became the norm the next year and Moss won again. In 1972, the main tournament buy-in (now known as the Main Event) was set at $10,000, and still carries this price point today.
Amarillo Slim took the title and several appearances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson followed. Seen as a seedy game at the time by many, Slim’s humorous stories gave a unique insight into the game and some nice media attention.
Early Growth
The series continued to grow in the coming years with increasing numbers of players and additional side events growing the festival’s schedule. In 1976, Binion added what has become the best-known trophy in poker with gold bracelets handed out to winners.
As of 2023, Phil Hellmuth remained at the top of the bracelet standings with 16. He became the youngest player to ever win the Main Event at the time when he took down the tournament in 1989 for $755,000. He now has $16.8 million in WSOP winnings.
“It was an amazing feeling,” Hellmuth said of his own win. “My dad flew out to support me, just on the chance that I won it. It was the first time he ever attended any tournament. Embracing him after winning the 1989 WSOP was one of the sweetest moments of my life. Winning the Main Event was my number one life goal. Luckily, I pulled it off early in my career.”
The series continued to grow both in number of players and events in the coming years. By 1991 the Main Event payout topped $1 million for the first time, remaining so for about a decade. With the popularity of online poker and televised poker, however, the series exploded in the 2000s.
Television & Online Poker Grow The Game
The World Poker Tour debuted on the Travel Channel in March 2003, allowing viewers to see players’ hole cards for the first time and to see how they played. Tournament entries ballooned and online poker also saw massive growth.
Then in May 2003, Chris Moneymaker won an online satellite and went on to win the Main Event for the bracelet and $2.5 million. With a media-friendly perfect surname, Moneymaker proved an amateur could conquer the pros, inspiring poker fans around the world.
The boom continued in the 2000s with massive tournament fields throughout the world and WSOP broadcasts on ESPN drawing major ratings numbers. In 2004, Harrah's Entertainment (now Caesars Entertainment) purchased the rights to the WSOP and moved the series to Rio.
In 2006, Jaime Gold won the Main Event for $12 million. This remains the largest Main Event in series history, attracting 8,773 entries for an $82.5 million prize pool. The WSOP also began moving beyond its Sin City roots with smaller circuits and events played out all over the world.
Caesars Sells WSOP Brand to GGPoker
After the 2024 WSOP, Caesars Entertainment announced it had agreed to sell the World Series of Poker brand to NSUS Group, the powerhouse behind GGPoker, for a landmark $500 million.
Despite the sale, Caesars isn't stepping away from the WSOP with the gaming giant retains the right to host the iconic WSOP summer series on the Las Vegas Strip for the next 20 years.
Caesars also continue to brand its brick-and-mortar poker rooms with the WSOP name and hold exclusive rights to host live WSOP Circuit events.
