Six WSOP Events Were in Active Play at 5 AM on June 11

At 5:20 AM PT on June 11, six separate WSOP events were in active play at the Horseshoe and Paris, with a combined field of more than 200 players still alive across a $10K championship, a $3K bracelet event, two daily deepstacks at their final tables, a mega satellite, and a $200 deepstack approaching its final stretch.

That's not a typo. Six simultaneous tournaments, grinding past dawn, on a single night during Week 2 of the 2026 WSOP.

I pulled every milestone signal Charlotte logged between 1:00 AM and 7:05 AM PT. The result is a timeline that maps the WSOP's invisible second shift.

At 5:20 AM PT on June 11, six separate WSOP events were in active play at the Horseshoe and Paris, with a combined field of more than 200 players still alive.

The Overnight Timeline

Here's every milestone Charlotte recorded, in order:

| Time (PT) | Event | Milestone | Players Remaining | |-----------|-------|-----------|--------------------| | 1:35 AM | #215: $240 NLH Mega Satellite | Two tables left | 10 | | 4:35 AM | #32: $3,000 NLH (Day 2) | Down to 100 | 96 | | 5:20 AM | #217: $400 Daily Deepstack NLH | Final table | 9 | | 6:05 AM | #218: $1,100 Limit Hold'em Mega Satellite | Down to 54 | 52 | | 6:20 AM | #219: $200 Daily Deepstack NLH | Down to 100 | 95 | | 6:50 AM | #216: $250 Daily Deepstack PLO | Final table | 9 | | 7:05 AM | #33: $10K PLO Hi-Lo Championship (Day 2) | Down to 54 | 42 | | 7:05 AM | #214: $250 Daily Deepstack NLH | Two tables left | 15 |

Eight milestones across eight distinct events. Two of those milestones hit at exactly 7:05 AM, meaning the $10K PLO Hi-Lo Championship and the $250 Daily Deepstack NLH were both active at the same moment as the sun rose over the Strip.

What Was Still Running at Peak Density

The widest window came between roughly 5:00 AM and 7:05 AM, when at least six events overlapped. By category:

• Bracelet events (2): Event #32, the $3,000 NLH on Day 2, had 96 players remaining at 4:35 AM. Event #33, the $10,000 PLO Hi-Lo 8-or-Better Championship on Day 2, was down to 42 at 7:05 AM.
• Daily deepstacks (3): Event #217 ($400 NLH) hit its nine-handed final table at 5:20 AM. Event #216 ($250 PLO) reached its final table at 6:50 AM. Event #214 ($250 NLH) was down to two tables (15 players) at 7:05 AM. A fourth deepstack, Event #219 ($200 NLH), still had 95 players at 6:20 AM.
• Satellites (2): Event #215, a $240 mega satellite, was down to 10 at 1:35 AM. Event #218, an $1,100 Limit Hold'em mega satellite, had 52 remaining at 6:05 AM.

The Names in the Building

The overnight fields weren't exclusively unknown grinders. In Event #33, the $10K PLO Hi-Lo Championship, Yevgeniy Timoshenko (nine career final tables, $4.6M in lifetime earnings) was still alive with 225,000 chips. James Minghini ($1.29M lifetime, six final tables) held the reported lead at 1,220,000.

In Event #32, the $3K NLH, Klemens Roiter (one bracelet, $4.6M lifetime, six final tables) and Daniel Moran (one WSOPC ring, $931K lifetime, nine final tables) were both among the 96 remaining. Omar Zazay ($368K lifetime) led the reported stacks at 1,100,000.

The PLO daily deepstack final table featured Antonio Ma (one WSOPC ring, $268K lifetime, 10 final tables) alongside Chad Link (one WSOPC ring, $93.8K lifetime, eight final tables) who held 930,000 in chips.

What the Number Means

Most coverage of the WSOP focuses on bracelet events starting at noon and 3 PM. The overnight picture tells a different story. The daily deepstacks alone accounted for three active final tables or near-final tables after 5 AM. Add two Day 2 bracelet events and two mega satellites, and the Horseshoe/Paris complex was running what amounts to a full poker festival inside the graveyard shift.

The combined surviving field across all eight events, summing the players-remaining counts at each milestone: 328 players were still in active play between 1:35 AM and 7:05 AM on a single night.

Methodology

Charlotte monitors WSOP event milestones via the wsop_events and wsop_chip_counts tables. Every data point above corresponds to a field milestone signal with an observed timestamp between 2026-06-11 01:00 and 2026-06-11 07:10 PT. Player credentials (bracelets, rings, lifetime earnings, final tables) are sourced from the same signal payloads. The 328-player total sums each event's players_left at the time of its recorded milestone; because milestones were logged at different times, some overlap is approximate. No chip counts were available for several daily deepstack events; where counts are listed, they reflect the signal's reported top stacks.
