Pierre Chevalier has won the Main Event at the WSOP International Circuit Paris 2026. With 1,282 entries, the tournament set a new benchmark.
From 1 to 14 September, the World Series of Poker hosted the International Circuit Series at the Partouche Pasino Club in Paris. Thirteen golden WSOPC rings were awarded.
Two of them went to Omar Lakhdari. He took down the €500 No‑Limit Hold’em Mystery Bounty for €25,700 and the €2,500 No‑Limit Hold’em High Roller for €110,000. In the €3,500 No‑Limit Hold’em Super High Roller, the title and €58,500 went to Brazil’s Felipe Gonsalves.
The €1,500 Main Event drew 1,282 entries. That’s more than at WSOPC Samorin, setting a new record for a WSOP Circuit Main Event on European soil. The €1.66 million prize pool was shared among 193 players.
Natasha Mercier reached the Final Table but had to settle for 9th place and €20,500. Poker pro Davidi Kitai (€63,000) finished 5th. In the end, it was a French one‑two. In heads‑up, Pierre Chevalier (€260,000) beat Hervé Gouzil (€175,000). Third place went to Italy’s Luca Bernardi (€123,000).
