According to PokerNews, on Day 36 of the 2026 WSOP, Artur Martirosyan is the chip leader in the $100,000 buy-in PLO event, while John Gonsalves is poised to win the $5,000 buy-in six-max event.
2026 WSOP (World Series of Poker) enters Day 36, with two high-profile events reaching critical stages. According to PokerNews, in the $100,000 buy-in Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) event, Russian player Artur Martirosyan has taken the chip lead with steady play. The event has attracted top professional players, making for fierce competition.
Meanwhile, in the $5,000 buy-in six-handed No-Limit Hold'em event, American player John Gonsalves is just one step away from the title.

Gonsalves has performed impressively in recent WSOP series, and a victory here would add another major milestone to his career.
As the world's most prestigious poker series, the WSOP draws thousands of players each year. Results from Day 36 events will directly impact the annual player-of-the-year leaderboard, making the upcoming developments worth watching.
