2026 WSOP Day 24: Shaun Deeb Dominates $3K Nine Game Mix Day 2
The brief
Shaun Deeb has built a substantial chip advantage in the Nine Game Mix tournament on Day 2 of play at the 2026 World Series of Poker. The mixed-game format, which rotates through multiple poker variants, rewards versatility and adaptability—qualities Deeb has demonstrated throughout his career as a successful tournament and cash game competitor.
In parallel action, Rob Kuhn has advanced in the Milly Maker event, a tournament format designed to attract recreational and mid-stakes players. The Milly Maker has become a staple of major poker series, offering accessible buy-ins and substantial prize pools that appeal to a broad player base.
These tournaments represent different segments of the WSOP's diverse schedule. While the Nine Game Mix appeals to experienced multi-game specialists, the Milly Maker draws casual enthusiasts seeking tournament value. Both events contribute to the WSOP's overall ecosystem, generating revenue, media attention, and player engagement across skill levels and experience tiers.
