A Polymarket trader operating under the name endlessFate is set to collect approximately $10.17 million after placing one of the largest single-match positions of the 2026 World Cup on Colombia defeating Uzbekistan.
The trader accumulated 10.17 million “Yes” shares in the <a href="https://polymarket.com/sports/world-cup/fifwc-uzb-col-2026-06-17" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Colombia moneyline market</a> at an average price of 73.3 cents, committing roughly $7.46 million to the position.
Each winning share resolves at $1, creating a maximum profit of approximately $2.71 million once the market settles. A defeat or draw would have sent every share to zero and erased the full amount committed to the trade.
Colombia’s victory delivered the required result within regulation time, leaving only the platform’s formal market-resolution process before the full payout becomes available.

Shortly after the match, the <a href="https://polymarket.com/0x5e4c3b5b81171e2ca4ab776ac0d6bba787f9dba2" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">endlessFate Polymarket profile</a> showed the Colombia position valued at just over $10 million.
The contract was trading near 98.5 cents while awaiting final settlement, placing the account’s unrealized profit near $2.55 million. Resolution at the full $1 value would add roughly another $162,000 and lift the final gain toward $2.71 million.
The account joined Polymarket in April 2026 and displayed approximately $10 million in total position value after the trade. The Colombia position represented almost the entire portfolio, leaving the outcome concentrated around a single World Cup match rather than distributed across several teams or markets.

The Colombia trade follows a series of unusually large prediction-market positions during the opening stage of the tournament.
Another Polymarket trader recently <a href="https://cryptoadventure.com/polymarket-trader-wins-9m-after-cape-verde-holds-spain-to-draw/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">made more than $9 million after Cape Verde held Spain to a draw</a>. That strategy combined a bet against a Spain victory with spread protection on Cape Verde.
A separate account placed <a href="https://cryptoadventure.com/polymarket-whale-bets-478k-on-five-world-cup-long-shots/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$478,000 across five World Cup winner positions</a>, including a longer-term bet on Colombia winning the tournament.
EndlessFate took a different route by concentrating $7.46 million on one regulation-time result. Buying at 73.3 cents limited the potential return to about 36% while leaving the entire principal exposed if Colombia failed to win.
The account held more than 10.17 million contracts through the final whistle. Once <a href="https://cryptoadventure.com/polymarket-review-2026-fees-liquidity-resolution-risk-and-who-it-suits/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Polymarket</a> completes settlement, those shares are expected to convert into approximately $10.17 million, crystallizing one of the tournament’s largest single-market profits so far.
