The 2026 WSOP Player of the Year race remains exceptionally tight at the top, with Shaun Deeb holding a slim lead at 3,410 points ahead of Naoya Kihara (3,388) and William Foxen (3,381) after the Las Vegas series concluded in mid-July. Deeb secured the advantage through consistent deep runs and a bracelet win in the $1,500 8-Game Mixed, while Foxen’s earlier bracelet and final-table appearances kept him in contention; Kihara’s late surge narrowed the gap further. Only a player’s top 15 scores count, and the upcoming WSOP Paradise in December offers substantial points that can reorder the leaderboard. This narrow margin among proven bracelet winners explains why trader consensus shows Deeb and Foxen as the clearest frontrunners but with realistic paths for several others to close or overtake.
