Summer Poker Open Championship Tops $1.35 Million Prize Pool
The $2,700 Summer Poker Open Championship has grown even bigger on Day 2 after 14 late registrations pushed the final field to 565 entries, creating a $1,356,000 prize pool.
The event has comfortably surpassed its $1 million guarantee, with the official payout schedule set to be released later today.
While the field fell short of last year's 685 entries, which saw Olivier Busquet capture the title and $255,135 in first-place prize money, the 2026 edition has still delivered another impressive turnout.
The Championship is now playing in Level 11, with 171 players remaining.
The result also means that all but two tournaments at this year's Borgata Summer Poker Open have exceeded their advertised guarantees.
