Dylan Weisman Reaches the $50K High Roller PLO Final Table at the WSOP
The two-time bracelet winner sits down nine-handed in the most expensive PLO event of the summer — alongside Naoya Kihara, Daniel Negreanu, Sean Winter, and Ka Lau.

Dylan Weisman has two bracelets, 20 career final tables, and $3.77 million in lifetime earnings — and he just sat down nine-handed at the $50,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha final table, where the first-place check will be the biggest of his career.
Event #55 of the 2026 World Series of Poker is the most expensive PLO tournament on this summer's schedule. The field has been carved down to its final nine, and the résumés at this table read like a who's-who of high-stakes four-card poker.

The Table
Naoya Kihara leads the final table with 2,385,000 in chips. The Japanese star already owns three WSOP bracelets and has $2.81 million in lifetime tournament cashes across 11 career final tables. He's the only player in the field whose chip stack was reported at the start of Day 2's final table, and he'll set the pace from the front.
Weisman, meanwhile, brings a different kind of equity: volume. Twenty career final tables is a number that speaks to consistency across formats and buy-in levels. His two bracelets and a WSOP Circuit ring put hardware on his record. But $3.77 million lifetime means a deep run here — in a $50K buy-in event — could meaningfully reshape his career earnings in a single night.
He is far from the only threat.
The Competition
Daniel Negreanu is at this final table. Seven bracelets. Ninety-five career final tables. $33.59 million in lifetime earnings. Negreanu doesn't need the money — he has more lifetime cashes than most players have lifetime hands of PLO — but he hasn't won a bracelet since 2013, and the hunger for number eight is one of the longest-running storylines at the WSOP. A $50K High Roller PLO title would be a particularly satisfying way to end the drought.
Sean Winter is here too. Zero bracelets, but $10.69 million in lifetime earnings and 35 career final tables. Winter is one of the most accomplished players in the high-roller circuit without a piece of WSOP gold to show for it. Thirty-five final tables and no bracelet is the kind of stat that either means the variance hasn't broken your way yet or that you're due. Either way, it's a storyline.
Then there's Ka Lau, the British player with one bracelet, $5.38 million lifetime, and nine career final tables. Lau doesn't carry the name recognition of Negreanu or the volume of Winter, but a player with a bracelet and north of $5 million in cashes at a $50K final table is not someone to overlook.
What Makes This Table Different
This isn't the $1,500 PLO. At $50,000, the field self-selects for players who either have deep bankrolls, significant backing, or both. The result is a final table where nobody is starstruck and nobody is playing scared.
Five of the nine players at this table have combined for 13 bracelets, one WSOP Circuit ring, and $56.22 million in lifetime tournament earnings. That's the talent density that a $50K PLO buy-in buys you.
For Weisman specifically, the math is straightforward. His $3.77 million lifetime number has been built across 20 final tables — an average of roughly $188K per final-table appearance. A win here would almost certainly push that average up dramatically, and it would give him his third bracelet, putting him in rare company among active PLO tournament players.
Kihara has the chips. Negreanu has the history. Winter has the résumé without the ring. Lau has the quiet credentials.
Weisman has the final-table experience and two bracelets that say he knows how to close. The $50,000 High Roller PLO final table is live at the Horseshoe.
