After an unforgettable run through a field of 9,208 entries, Kyle Scott has been eliminated from the 2026 WSOP Main Event, finishing in an outstanding 71st place for a remarkable $125,000.

Kyle's tournament came to an end in a brutal cooler. After opening the action on the button, he moved all in with pocket Fives after being three-bet by Todd Brunson, only to be snap-called by pocket Kings. The board offered no miracle, bringing an end to what has been an extraordinary run.

Over six incredible days, Kyle represented Alea Glasgow and Metropolitan Gaming with skill, composure and determination, becoming the last remaining Metropolitan Gaming qualifier in the tournament and the first Alea Glasgow qualifier in four years to outlast Team Empire.

From bagging for Day 2, to Day 3, Day 4, Day 5 and Day 6, knocking out opponents with Aces, Kings, Jacks and even pocket Threes, Kyle gave everyone back home a tournament to remember. At one stage, he even climbed into the Top 10 chip counts in the biggest poker tournament in the world.

To finish 71st out of 9,208 players is a phenomenal achievement and one that everyone at Alea Glasgow is immensely proud of.

A huge congratulations also goes to all seven of our Team Alea qualifiers, who represented the cardroom brilliantly throughout this year's WSOP Main Event. It has been an incredible summer for both Alea Glasgow and Empire Casino, and for Metropolitan Gaming as a whole.

Congratulations, Kyle. Enjoy every moment of this achievement. You've done yourself, Team Alea and Metropolitan Gaming proud.

Kyle has just completed another level at the tables, and despite running pocket Kings into pocket Aces in a huge pot, he managed to avoid losing his entire stack with the chips staying out of the middle. It was a fortunate escape that keeps his Main Event dream alive.

As the players head off on their latest break, here's where Kyle stands:

Chip count: 4,400,000
Players remaining: 75 (from 9,208 entries)
Guaranteed payout: $105,000
Average stack: 7,300,000

With only 75 players left in the biggest poker tournament in the world, every decision matters, every pay jump is significant, and every pot could change the course of the tournament.

Kyle has already achieved something truly special, but the journey isn't over yet.

Everyone back at Alea Glasgow and across Metropolitan Gaming is following every update and willing him on. Let's keep this remarkable run going.

Another level is in the books, and Kyle Scott continues to battle in the WSOP Main Event.

The field has now been reduced to just 90 players from the original 9,208 entries, an incredible achievement in itself. Every elimination now means another step closer to an even bigger payday, with the standard of play getting tougher by the minute.

Kyle's current chip count:

4,300,000 chips

Tournament update:

90 players remaining
Average stack: 6,100,000

While Kyle sits below the current average, he still has plenty of chips to work with. At this stage of the Main Event, one big pot can completely change the picture, and with just 90 players left, every decision carries huge significance.

Everyone at Alea Glasgow and across Metropolitan Gaming is cheering Kyle on as he continues his remarkable run in poker's most prestigious tournament.

Another two hours are in the books, and Kyle Scott continues to hold his own against some of the best players in the world.

The highlight of the last session came when Kyle picked up another elimination, calling an all-in with pocket 3s against A-2. Despite his opponent picking up additional outs on the turn, Kyle's pocket pair held to send another player to the rail and add another valuable pot to his stack.

Heading into the dinner break, Kyle has built his stack to:

5,700,000 chips

Tournament update:

114 players remaining
Guaranteed payout: $65,000
Average stack: 4,847,000

Kyle continues to sit comfortably above the tournament average, putting himself in a fantastic position as the field edges ever closer to the final two tables.

What an incredible run this has been. Every level Kyle survives is another remarkable achievement, and everyone at Alea Glasgow and across Metropolitan Gaming is right behind him.

Kyle Scott's incredible run just keeps gathering momentum.

Early in the day, Kyle was faced with a huge decision after his opponent moved all in for around 1.55 million chips. Kyle made the call with pocket Jacks against A-QD.

The board ran K-10-3-8-K with four hearts, improving Kyle to a jack-high flush on the river and sending his opponent to the rail.

That huge pot helped propel Kyle to an incredible:

6,200,000 chips

Current tournament status:

144 players remaining
Guaranteed payout: $65,000

Kyle continues to sit amongst the tournament's biggest stacks and is putting together a truly unforgettable run in the biggest poker tournament in the world.

From everyone at Alea Glasgow and across Metropolitan Gaming, we're all cheering Kyle on. Let's keep this incredible journey going.
