Adrian Mateos and Bryn Kenney are three-handed in the $250,000 Super High Roller at the Horseshoe right now, and if you're not watching, you're missing the biggest final table of the 2026 WSOP so far.

WSOP Event #41 — the single largest buy-in on the 2026 summer schedule — is playing down live. Three seats left. Two of them belong to players with a combined résumé that reads like a high-roller hall of fame shortlist.

Two of the three remaining seats belong to players with a combined résumé that reads like a high-roller hall of fame shortlist.

Who's Left

Adrian Mateos has been a fixture at nosebleed final tables for the better part of a decade. He's locked at least 101 fantasy points on the 25kFantasy leaderboard for team Blez/NGNF (Hanks), with a ceiling of 136 — meaning a win here would be a massive swing on the contest standings.

Bryn Kenney sits with 90 points locked and a ceiling of 125 for team DNEGS (Negreanu). Kenney's tournament earnings profile is one of the largest in poker history, and a deep run in a $250K is exactly the spot where that experience compounds.

The third seat at the table is unidentified in the current data, which makes it even more interesting — an unknown quantity against two of the highest-volume super high roller players alive.

Why This Matters for Fantasy

The gap between a third-place finish and a win at this buy-in level is enormous in both prize money and fantasy points. Mateos's ceiling sits 35 points above his lock; Kenney's gap is 35 as well. Whichever player survives longer delivers a massive week to their respective roster.

At a $250K buy-in, first place in a small-field event like this routinely clears seven figures. Every pot from here forward reshapes the 25kFantasy leaderboard.

How to Watch

If PokerGO or WSOP.com is carrying a stream of Event #41, this is the one to have open. Three-handed play at this buy-in rarely lasts long — the stacks are deep enough for post-flop poker but shallow enough relative to the blinds that any all-in could end it.
