It's 2026 as I create this proposition and we don't even know if the record will be broken in 2026 yet. We're starting early!
Resolution criteria
This market resolves to YES if the official total number of entries for the 2027 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event (traditionally the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em World Championship) is strictly greater than the highest number of entries recorded in any prior WSOP Main Event (up to and including the 2026 WSOP Main Event).
Otherwise, this market resolves to NO.
Key details:
The official registration count will be verified using official announcements published on WSOP.com or reports from reputable poker news outlets like PokerNews.
As of mid-2026, the all-time record is 10,112 entries, set during the 2024 WSOP Main Event. The 2025 edition drew 9,735 entries. If the 2026 WSOP Main Event sets a new record (e.g., 10,113 or more entries), then the 2027 event must exceed that 2026 figure to resolve YES.
If the 2027 WSOP Main Event is canceled, not held, or postponed beyond December 31, 2027, this market will resolve to N/A.
Background
The WSOP Main Event is the premier tournament on the global poker calendar. Live poker participation surged in the mid-2020s, with back-to-back record-breaking years in 2023 (10,043 entries) and 2024 (10,112 entries). The 2025 event fell just short of a third consecutive record, drawing the third-largest field in history with 9,735 entries. This market tracks whether the 2027 edition can eclipse the existing historical high-water mark.
