WSOP Super Circuit King’s 2026 at a Glance
The WSOP Super Circuit is the World Series of Poker’s bigger-than-usual Circuit stop. Winners get the same gold ring you’d win at a regular WSOP Circuit event, but the schedule is longer and the guarantees are bigger.
King’s Resort, right on the German border, is one of Europe’s busiest poker rooms. That location matters. German players made up the biggest group in both of Thursday’s money lists.
The 2026 series runs for 15 days. Buy-ins for ring events range from €350 to €8,600, according to PokerNews’ full schedule.
Event #3: €1,500 Big O Results
Big O is five-card Pot-Limit Omaha, split between the best high hand and the best qualifying low. Think of it as Omaha Hi-Lo with an extra card and a lot more action.
Players started with 25,000 chips and played 30-minute levels. The event promised €100,000 in prize money.
But only 56 entries showed up. That’s €84,000 in buy-ins, €16,000 short of the guarantee. So King’s covered the gap, and the prize pool landed at €87,000 after the 13% fee. Our maths puts the overlay at roughly €13,900 in extra prize money for players.
Germany had already won the series’ first PLO event, and the streak continued. Filchner beat fellow German Markus Anheier heads-up to take the ring.
| Rank | Player | Country | Prize |
| 1 | Fabian Filchner | Germany | €27,510 |
| 2 | Markus Anheier | Germany | €17,380 |
| 3 | Jacob Finke | Netherlands | €11,580 |
| 4 | Bjorn Verbakel | Netherlands | €8,150 |
| 5 | Andreas Krause | Germany | €6,080 |

| 7 | Danail Zhelev | Bulgaria | €4,090 |
| 8 | Ioannis Angelou Konstas | Greece | €3,720 |
| 9 | Tim Reusch | Germany | €3,660 |
Four of the nine cashes went to Germany. And even ninth place paid €3,660, more than double the buy-in.

Event #5: €600 Ultra Stack Results
The Ultra Stack was the friendlier buy-in of the night, and it showed in the turnout.
Players got a deep 60,000-chip starting stack with 25-minute levels. It also carried a €100,000 guarantee. This time the field delivered: 171 entries created €102,600 in buy-ins, just over the target.
After the 15% fee, €87,210 went to the top 26 finishers. Sikora beat Britain’s Ryan Carroll heads-up for the title and €21,270.

Big O vs Ultra Stack: Side-by-Side Comparison
| Detail | €1,500 Big O | €600 Ultra Stack |
| Game | 5-card PLO Hi-Lo | No-Limit Hold’em |
| Starting stack | 25,000 | 60,000 |
| Level length | 30 minutes | 25 minutes |
| Guarantee | €100,000 | €100,000 |
| Entries | 56 | 171 |
| Gross buy-ins | €84,000 | €102,600 |
| Fee | 13% | 15% |
| Prize pool | €87,000 | €87,210 |
| Places paid | 9 (16% of field) | 26 (15% of field) |
| Min cash | €3,660 (2.4x buy-in) | €1,220 (2x buy-in) |
| Winner’s share | 31.6% | 24.4% |
Here’s the interesting part. Both events ended with almost the same prize pool. But the Big O got there with a third of the players, thanks to the overlay. If you play Omaha, that’s real value.
Pros and Cons of These Two Formats
| Pros | Cons |
| Big O overlays mean extra money for the field | Big O fields are small and often full of PLO specialists |
| Ultra Stack’s 60,000 chips give lots of play | 25-minute levels speed up fast late in the day |
| Gold ring for every winner | Higher 15% fee on the €600 event |
| Min cashes pay double the buy-in or more | Only about 15–16% of players get paid |
How to Play the Rest of the Series (Step by Step)
- Check the live schedule on kings-resort.com or wsop.com. Start times can change.
- Pick your game. Hold’em players should look at the Mini Main and Main Event. Omaha fans have the Monster Stack PLO.
- Watch for overlays. Smaller fields on guaranteed events, like Thursday’s Big O, can add free money.
- Use satellites. Most of the 88 tournaments are satellites, a cheap path into bigger buy-ins.
- Book a room early. The Main Event week (November 5–11) is the busiest stretch.
- Bring valid ID. You’ll need it to register at the cage.
What’s On Next at King’s
Friday, October 30, is busy. The €1,000 Mini Main Event continues with two more starting flights. It carries a €1,000,000 guarantee, with Day 2 on November 1 and the final day on November 2.
