The WSOP has reconfigured the layout for 2026. The Champaign room is no longer the cage for registration and payouts. I'm not sure exactly where the cage will be, though, as the WSOP has not released their map to the public yet. Hopefully they will do so in the next week.

Day 1s will be in the Horseshoe this year, while Day 2s and beyond (including the Final Tables) will be in Paris. Also, the daily deep stack events and the satellites will be in the Horseshoe Event Center (where the Final Tables used to be).

Thank you Gabriel for these updates!

Are you sealing the series this year?

Yes, I'll be dealing the WSOP again this summer. Let me know when you'll be around!

Be in town in late June. Hope to run into you at the table or in the hallway.

So the Cage is down the hallway past the Champaign room. It has registration, payouts and Live App verification all in the same room.

One thing I found when making my hotel reservations was that the wsop discount code said it was giving me 10% off but the price was exactly the same. They increased the price 10% and then gave me a 10% discount so use at your own risk. Also my midweek price is about $65 while the weekend rate is $230 per night so I highly recommend doing something during the week if you can.

Thanks for the recon on the discount code Chris and good luck out there!

Good info, thx. I also like to carry a water bottle bc the table service serves those little 1-hitters and they’re few and far between. Wsop does a decent job of keeping the larger water coolers around the perimeter of the big rooms stocked to refill your personal bottle. Staying hydrated helps with keeping up energy and focus.

Great tip Adrienne.

A reusable water bottle assures hydration when you need it without the extra plastic waste.
