The 2018 World Series of Poker (WSOP) is the 49th annual tournament, and took place from May 30 to July 17 at the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

[5] Source: [6] Final standings as of November 2 (end of WSOPE): The $10,000 No Limit Hold'em Main Event began on July 2 with the first of three starting flights.

The board ran out 7♣ J♦ 4♣ 3♠ J♣, and Zhu was eliminated in 10th, while Labat was left crippled and Manion was propelled to the chip lead.

This set the record for the largest number of hands played heads up during a WSOP Main Event final table.

Elton Tsang won €11,111,111 in 2016 at Monte-Carlo One Drop Extravaganza in 2016, although since this event was not held at the WSOP, he did not receive a bracelet for it.

Justin Bonomo won the tournament, and took over from Daniel Negreanu at the top of the all time money list with the victory.
