2026 WSOP Online overview and GGPoker prize pool

GGPoker managed the entire festival and reported the headline numbers: $345,767,442 in total prizes funded by 3,037,564 entries. The bracelet events paid $130,391,198 from 199,471 entries, which represented roughly 6.5% of the series' total entries; side events accounted for $215,376,244 and the overwhelming majority of bullets.

The series comprised 33 bracelet events and a large slate of side tournaments. The distribution of prize money and entries underlines how a comparatively small share of entries into bracelet events delivered a disproportionately large portion of headline payouts.

Brazil dominance and freeroll eligibility (focus on 2026 WSOP Online)

Brazil finished top of the 2026 WSOP Online Bracelet Ranking with seven first-place finishes, nine seconds and five thirds, accruing $6,247,877. That total left Brazil well clear of other nations on the leaderboard. For all players competing under the Brazilian flag who entered at least one bracelet event, GGPoker has scheduled a $200,000 freeroll on October 3.

The official bracelet-ranking table showed the top 10 countries by bracelets, podiums and earnings:

1. Brazil — 7 firsts, 9 seconds, 5 thirds — $6,247,877

2. Russia — 5 firsts, 1 second, 2 thirds — $2,612,097

3. Spain — 3 firsts, 0 seconds, 0 thirds — $2,483,499

4. China — 2 firsts, 2 seconds, 1 third — $3,659,616

5. Finland — 2 firsts, 2 seconds, 1 third — $1,652,822

6. Austria — 2 firsts, 1 second, 2 thirds — $4,083,443

7. Germany — 2 firsts, 0 seconds, 3 thirds — $2,429,175

8. Italy — 2 firsts, 0 seconds, 0 thirds — $668,598

9. Israel — 1 first, 2 seconds, 0 thirds — $475,411

10. Ukraine — 1 first, 1 second, 1 third — $4,215,792

Ukraine's $4,215,792 total was driven largely by Andrii Novak's Main Event victory for $3.9M. Russia's players earned the second-largest freeroll and will contest a $170,000 freeroll prize pool; Spain's contingent will compete for a $145,000 freeroll.

Standout winners and individual results (WSOP Online bracelet winners)

The festival produced headline names and sizable single-event prizes. Andrii Novak won the $5,000 WSOP Online Main Event for $3.9M. Sergio Aido closed the series with a $2.2M win in the $25,000 GGMillion$ High Rollers, a result that accounted for nearly 90% of Spain's $2,483,499 in series earnings.

Individual statistics and notable runs (focus on players and results)

Israel's Ravid Garbi recorded the most cashes in bracelet events with 16 money finishes. Four players reached 15 cashes: 'kenliu55555', E Narmontas, Edilson Junior, and Dante Fernandes. Several players reached three final tables during the series: Daniel Negreanu, Ole Schemion, Ravid Garbi, Pedro Neves, and 'liano96'.

A satellite success story: 'DrAvocado' converted a $25 satellite entry into Day 2 of the $250 Mystery Millions and won the $1,000,000 top bounty, delivering the highest ROI among bracelet-event participants.

Daniel Negreanu reached three final tables in five days but did not secure a bracelet; his run included near-misses such as being one clean runout away from a commanding chip lead with four players remaining in the $25,000 High Roller Championship.

What operators, players and observers will track next

The national freerolls allocated by GGPoker — $200,000 for Brazil, $170,000 for Russia, $145,000 for Spain and others per the bracelet-ranking payouts — will be focal points for players who entered bracelet events. Observers will compare how concentrated bracelet earnings were in single big scores like Novak's Main Event win and Aido's High Roller victory, versus the distribution of side-event payouts.

For event organisers and platform operators, the series underlines the economic impact of high-value bracelet events within a large online festival and the promotional value of national freerolls for player retention. Readers can find related coverage in our events and news sections.
