Shaun Deeb holds the narrowest of leads in the 2026 WSOP Player of the Year race after the Las Vegas series concluded, sitting at 3,410 points just 22 ahead of Naoya Kihara and 29 clear of William Foxen. The tight three-way battle stems from consistent high-volume participation across bracelet events, with only top-15 scores counting toward the total. Deeb secured the top spot on the final day via a deep run in the $25,000 H.O.R.S.E. High Roller, while Foxen and Kihara posted multiple final tables and cashes in mixed games and high rollers. The upcoming WSOP Paradise series in December keeps the field open for shifts, as additional points remain available for the top contenders including Justin Liberto, Joshua Arieh, and Eelis Paerssinen.
