Day 12 of the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas produced one bracelet and set up some compelling finales, with Kristen Foxen headlining a star-studded $25,000 High Roller final table and Michael Mizrachi leading a murderer's row in the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship.

Event #21: $1,500 PLO Hi-Lo 8 or Better — Winner

Frederic Normand, an experienced PLO player entering his first Hi-Lo tournament, claimed the bracelet and $235,377. Josh Arieh finished third, falling just short of a seventh bracelet.

Twenty-two players returned for Day 3 and six hours later, six remained. Galen Hall leads with 16,050,000, but all eyes are on Foxen (9,325,000), who is chasing her sixth WSOP bracelet and what would be a record-extending sixth for a female player. Ignacio Moron (7,900,000), Joey Weissman (7,200,000), Biao Ding (6,875,000), and Zdenek Zizka (4,375,000) complete the final six. All are guaranteed at least $300,942, with $1,773,083 going to the winner. The final table resumes at 3:30 p.m. on June 7, with the stream beginning at 6:00 p.m.
