Analyzing the results of the WSOP 2026 goes far beyond the prizes won. After all, the amounts distributed draw attention, but do not show how much each professional invested throughout the series. Therefore, several names from the circuit decided to disclose their numbers after the season ended.

Thus, one of the first to open the data was Shaun Deeb. He revealed that he fired 122 bullets and achieved only six ITMs. In addition, the American has an obsession with the player of the year ranking, known as POY (Player Of the Year). He finished the season in 1st place, but still has the WSOP Paradise.
However, Jeremy Ausmus also joined the conversation and reported that he used 44 entries and finished the series with nine cashes. Then, Joshua Arieh published his numbers, with 69 bullets, 15 ITMs, eight bounties, and a maximum streak of four consecutive cashes during the summer in Las Vegas.
Additionally, other big names in poker took advantage of the debate to share their performances. Daniel Negreanu recorded 79 bullets and 15 ITMs, while Brian Rast closed the series with 59 entries and 10 cashes. Besides them, Faraz Jaka, Naoya Kihara, Ryan Riess, Christopher Vitch, and David Baker also disclosed their numbers after the WSOP.

Players also reveal losses after the series
However, despite the transparency about the volume of tournaments, few professionals disclosed the financial result of the campaign. Still, Bryce Yockey drew attention by admitting that his 12 ITMs were not enough to end the series in profit after investing in 61 bullets. “I need to improve my bubble skills”, joked the professional.
Meanwhile, Francis Anderson reported a loss of US$ 77,500 after firing 73 bullets and reaching 11 ITMs. Similarly, Chris Hunichen revealed losses of US$ 492,000 after investing in 89 entries and cashing in 14 tournaments. Brian Luo ended the series with a negative balance of US$ 32,000, after using 28 bullets and recording six ITMs.
Finally, the reports reinforce the reality faced by professionals during the WSOP. Although large prizes attract public attention, the high volume of investments is part of the routine of those who compete in the biggest poker series in the world. Still, players continue to seek results that can compensate for the risk taken throughout the season.
