At 4:20 AM on June 22, the Horseshoe poker room had five tournaments running simultaneously, and the quietest of them still had five players left.

That's the most concurrent overnight action of the 2026 WSOP so far. Here's what was still going.

The Bracelet Event: Event #58, $1,500 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw

Day 2 ground down to 17 players across two tables. Alessio Isaia led with 2,200,000 in chips. David May, a one-time WSOPC ring winner, sat second at 1,910,000.

The bust list already included Pedro Neves, a one-bracelet pro from Portugal with $5.41M in lifetime cashes and eight career final tables. Daniel Blum ($261K lifetime) also hit the rail.

The Millionaire Maker: Event #50, Day 2D

The $1,500 Millionaire Maker's fourth Day 2 flight was still sorting survivors. Zak Delaimy bagged the biggest stack at 2,300,000. James Dierks held 1,010,000 in his first recorded WSOP cash. Sandrine Zeitoun of France sat at 445,000.

None of the five named players in this flight have a prior bracelet or ring on file.

The Mega Satellite: Event #302, $585 Landmark Mega

Five players remained. The headliner: Gurpreet Lubana of Canada, a two-time WSOPC ring winner with $354K in lifetime earnings and 10 career final tables. Gareth Devereux of Great Britain ($201K lifetime) was also still alive.

The $400 Daily Deepstack: Event #301

Eight players at the final table. Ichiro Izutsu of Japan ($20,500 lifetime) was among them. Jason Elwood and Huy Nguyen were also in contention, both chasing their first tracked WSOP payout.

The $250 Daily Deepstack: Event #299

The largest surviving field of the five. Eighteen players remained across two tables. Andrea Quadros of Brazil led with 740,000 in chips and $43,103 in lifetime tournament earnings. Rafael Pardo Acevedo of Chile ($17,184 lifetime, one prior final table) was still in.

What It Adds Up To

Five events. Two tables of limit lowball. A Millionaire Maker flight. A mega satellite down to its final five. Two dailies that hadn't crowned winners yet. All inside one building, all after 4 AM.

The Horseshoe floor was managing at least 30 active tournament tables at that hour across these five events alone, not counting whatever cash games were still running on the other side of the room.

That's the WSOP grind in one snapshot.
