The 2026 WSOP Main Event final table begins Monday night on ESPN2. One player will win $10 million and become the newest World Champion.
Who will you be watching the livestream with? One fun and educational option out there is to watch it along with Faraz Jaka, a skilled poker pro and founder of Jaka Coaching, a leading poker training platform.
Jaka, who has over $10 million in The Hendon Mob cashes, will be hosting a watch party on YouTube, giving poker fans an opportunity to watch along with him, poker pro Scott Baumstein, and fans from around the world.
Learn Poker, Watch Poker, Hangout with Poker Fans
The watch party will give poker fans an opportunity to chat with Jaka and Baumstein during the final table. The pros will field strategy questions about hands that took place at the final table and share some interesting WSOP stories.
Jaka let his followers know that he won’t be permitted to show the ESPN2 livestream on his YouTube watch party, as that would get his channel in some serious trouble. As such, those joining the watch party will need to have the sports cable network up on their own screens so they can follow along with the action at the final table.
“It’s gonna be a fun time. Grab some snacks, grab a drink, come join us,” Jaka said in the video.
All you have to do to join the watch party and chat with fellow poker fans is to visit Jaka’s YouTube channel. As he said in the video, set a notification for the start of the livestream and watch party at 9 p.m. PT on Monday.
The final table will air on ESPN2 on Monday, and then ESPN on Tuesday and Wednesday. A champion will be crowned on the final day. Lucas Jumalon, a 22-year-old from Spokane, Washington, enters the final table with a massive chip lead. He’s the favorite to win, but certainly not a lock. Longtime pros Greg “FBT” Mueller or Michael Gagliano, or any of the six other skilled players remaining, just might have something to say about Jumalon’s ability to close it out.
It should be an exciting final table and watch party hosted by two top pros.
