Eric Wasserson Leads After Day 1 of PGT Mixed Games Championship
Day 1 of the 2026 Super High Roller Bowl: $100k Mixed Games has concluded with PGT Mixed Games champion Yuri Dzivielevski holding the chip lead with 903,000. The Brazilian pro tops the remaining 23 entrants entering Day 2 on Friday, February 13, where registration remains open until the start of play.
Over eight 60-minute levels, the field began with 22 players and grew to 33 entrants by the end of the day. Ryan Hoenig and Nick Schulman were early casualties, while Justin Liberto, Walter Chambers, Dylan Weisman, and Jason Mercier were eliminated late in the day as just 23 players advanced to Day 2. Dzivielevski had a late start to Day 1, but his hot form continued as he rose up the leaderboard and bagged the chip lead.
Trailing Dzivielevski is Benny Glaser, who rocketed up the chip counts when he eliminated Bryn Kenney by cracking his top set with the nut flush. Tablemates Chris Brewer and Jesse Lonis sit third and fourth overall with 783,000 and 569,000, respectively. Rounding out the top five is Norwegian pro Tobias Leknes with 568,000.
Others in contention include recent PGT Mixed Games winners Chino Rheem, Qinghai Pan, and Brian Rast. Defending champion Chad Eveslage remains in the mix, along with former Super High Roller Bowl winner Daniel Negreanu. Players expected to jump into Day 2 include Phil Hellmuth and Michael Mizrachi, as the field is expected to creep toward a record-breaking 40 entrants.
Once registration is closed at the start of Day 2, a full random seat draw will be conducted.
