Andrey Novak — chip leader at the final table of the WSOP Online Main Event
Overnight, the final table lineup was set for the WSOP Online Main Event with a $5,000 buy-in. The tournament drew 6,008 entries, creating the third-largest prize pool in online poker history — $28,538,000. Compared to last year, the prize pool grew by almost a quarter of a million, but it falls more than $600,000 short of the record set in 2024. Two years ago, the main event awarded $29,193,500.

Coming into the final table as chip leader is Andrey Novak, who makes his first career WSOP final table. The Ukrainian high roller is the only player with a stack of more than 100 big blinds. Also making his WSOP final table debut is his compatriot Pavel Yakovlev, who has won around $2.5 million on GGPoker alone. This Ukrainian player sits fourth in the chip counts.

Right behind Novak are Simon Beckmann and World Series bracelet winner Pablo Silva. Resuming play with the seventh stack is Russia's Yuri Nadinsky, who last October won a live hyper-turbo event at the WSOP Circuit in Cyprus.

Ninth place is worth a payout of $491,676, while the winner will take home 8 times more — $3,931,259 plus a $30,000 WSOP Paradise package. The final table kicks off today at 21:00 MSK.
