2026 Signature Poker Series

2026 SPS in Review

by
Bill Camp, 2026 SPS Champion

The 2026 Signature Poker Series is one of our biggest series and this year was no different. The series featured 15 trophy events, featuring our SPS Championship with a $2,500 buy-in and $500,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Events: 15
Entries: 2,772
Guaranteed:  $1,005,000
Prize Pools:  $1,578,338

The series had more than $1,000,000 in guaranteed money (even more when you include satellites) and we paid out more than $1.5 million across all 15 events.

A great turnout from start to finish.

The headliner was the SPS Championship and it was a talented field that played down over four days. Bill Camp dominated late to take the title and the $111,490 top prize.

Huicun Qiao won the big opening multi-flight event, earning $82,090 for his win. Roberto Melo went ahead and won two of those pretty SPS trophies; he captured the $600 Mega Stack title for $15,990 and the $600+$500 Monster Stack Purple Chip Bounty a few days later.

This series also had a popular SPS Tournament Leaderboard, and John Dolan took the top spot. He finished runner-up in Event 1, followed that up with a win in $600 Six-Max, and a fourth-place finish in the $1,100 Eight-Handed tournament and two other cashes. For his efforts, Dolan earned a brand new Denago Rover XL6 LI golf cart.

Thank you to everyone for coming up, you made this a very fun, successful series and we couldn’t do it without you.

Enjoy the rest of your summer and we will see you at our next major series, the 2026 Pinktober Poker Open. That series will have 12 trophy events with over $400,000 in the guarantees.

2026 Signature Poker Series

We wrapped up the 2026 Signature Poker Series after 15 trophy events and tons of fun.
