The €2.750 Rounder Cup of the 2026 WSOPE (a kind of golf Ryder Cup: United States vs. Rest of the World) left a story of glory and another of those that hurt. The great champion was Mike Leah
The American, owner of eight bracelets, once again fell just short of victory in this same series. He finished 9° and, after falling in a key hand, did not hide his frustration: he held his head at the table, reflecting another difficult elimination in a festival where he had already been accumulating important results… and hard blows.
Deeb had achieved a new deep run, but his A-J could not hold up against the Q-J of Tornike Tchkonia
Meanwhile, Leah built his path with solidity. The Canadian dominated several stretches of the tournament and ended up prevailing in the heads-up precisely against Tchkonia. The final hand was decisive: all-in preflop with aces against A-2 and a board with no surprises that sealed the title.
With this victory, Leah enters the elite of Canadian poker once again and nears 10 million dollars in live earnings.
