Several thousand players are participating in the WSOP 2026 , just like in previous years. Although there is no strict dress code at the largest poker event in the world, you might not expect to see Super Mario playing poker. Today’s Moment of the Day will be an insight into poker cosplay.
Most players choose comfort over formal attire, but some want to be noticed, regardless of their poker results. And we can make sure most dedicated fans will deliver.
Super Mario Playing Poker
Can He Get One Through on the Plumber from Brooklyn?
A player in the Tag Team event dressed as Super Mario faces aggression on a paired board. Is he staring down Bowser-level strength, or will he find a power-up and send his opponent back to the Mushroom Kingdom? pic.twitter.com/1nxrYQMmOg

Last year at WSOP 2025, the most iconic apparel was worn by ClubGG Qualifiers. The highly sought-after WSOP Squid Game hoodie and jacket became a viral poker fashion trend during the 2025 World Series of Poker. This exclusive apparel was created through a promotional crossover between GGPoker and Netflix’s hit show, coinciding with real-life poker pro Steven Jones making a deep run into the finale of Squid Game: The Challenge.
Daniel Negreau Squid Game Promotion
One of the peak moments in promoting this crossover was Daniel Negreanu ‘s sweepstakes for his very own Squid Game jacket, along with other signed items. The zipped sweatshirt is still trending; several players wore it at WSOP Europe 2026 in Prague and now at WSOP 2026 in Las Vegas.

Don’t be shy to show your personality if you want to. Poker should be fun in the first place, and if you manage to get in the money or reach a final table, that is just the cherry on top. For some professionals, WSOP means grinding for 1,5 month. But casual players will eventually remember the whole experience, not the specific hand on blind level 3 where they folded 4♠8♠ and should have made their runner-runner straight flush.
