This market will resolve to the player who finishes in 1st place on the official 2026 World Series of Poker Player of the Year (POY) leaderboard at the conclusion of all POY-qualifying events. If a player not individually listed as an outcome finishes 1st on the final POY leaderboard, this market will resolve to "Other". If two or more players are tied for 1st on the final POY leaderboard, this market will resolve according to the official WSOP POY tiebreaker procedure. If a tie remains with no official resolution, the market will resolve in favor of the tied player whose listed name comes first alphabetically. If the 2026 WSOP POY race is cancelled, or a final leaderboard is not determined by January 14, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". The resolution source for this market will be official information from WSOP (https://www.wsop.com/2026-poy/poy-leaderboard/); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
The WSOP Player of the Year race remains exceptionally tight because Shaun Deeb holds a narrow points lead over Naoya Kihara and William Foxen after the conclusion of the 2026 series, with Jesse Lonis, Joshua Arieh, and others clustered just behind. Deeb’s consistent final-table runs and bracelet contention across multiple events have kept him atop the leaderboard, while Foxen and Kihara posted comparable results in high-value tournaments that narrowed the gap to roughly 30 points. Late-series performances by players such as Justin Liberto and Daniel Negreanu added volatility, preventing any single contender from pulling away. Trader pricing reflects this points-based parity, where small swings in the final events could still reorder the top five and determine the $100K Paradise Package recipient.
