WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star 2026: Strong Shooting Stars

Pokerexclusive

October 25, 2026

Once again this year, the World Poker Tour is stopping at Bay 101 for the $5,300 WPT Shooting Stars. The flights have been played, and out of 546 entries, 215 players are advancing to Day 2. Among them are 40 of the original “Shooting Stars” who entered the tournament.

As always, the Shooting Stars were awarded a special $2,500 bounty, with the bounty players naturally split between both flights. In addition, the two chip leaders from each flight received a $5,000 bonus.

Day 1A drew 236 entries, with 88 players remaining at the end. Day 1B had a larger field with 310 entries, and 123 players remained at the end. On Day 1A, it was Rajat Paliwal who secured the day’s victory with 436,000 chips, ahead of Joe McKeehen (342k). On Day 1B, Charles Whisper claimed the day’s victory with 569,000 chips, along with the bonus and the overall lead. Among the 211 remaining players were numerous “Shooting Stars,” while others, such as Kristen Foxen, had already been eliminated.
