Shaun Deeb holds a narrow lead in the 2026 WSOP Player of the Year race with 3,410 points after claiming his ninth bracelet in a July $1,500 eight-game mixed event, but William Foxen and Naoya Kihara sit just 22–29 points behind following strong summer performances that included multiple final tables and cashes. Foxen briefly topped the standings in June on the strength of high-roller results before Deeb surged ahead, while Kihara’s back-to-back mixed-game titles kept him in striking distance. With the top three separated by less than one percent of total points and several other contenders within reach via remaining cashes or bracelet events, trader consensus reflects the razor-thin margins and potential for late swings driven by final-series outcomes.
