The 2024 World Series of Poker

June 25, 2024 8 min Read

The 2024 World Series of Poker ran at the Horseshoe and Paris in Las Vegas from late May into mid-July. Over roughly seven weeks it awarded 99 gold bracelets, and its Main Event did something no live tournament had done before — it drew an even larger field than the record set just a year earlier. Here is the summer in full: the headline results, and every bracelet winner.

The Record Main Event

For the second straight year the Main Event set the all-time attendance record. The $10,000 buy-in drew 10,112 entries, edging past 2023’s 10,043 to become the largest live poker tournament ever held. Jonathan Tamayo outlasted them all for the bracelet and the promoted $10,000,000 top prize. A year after the game wondered whether 2023 was a peak, the field went higher.

Scott Seiver’s Summer

The player of the summer was Scott Seiver. He won three bracelets — the $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship (#10), the $1,500 Razz (#40), and the $10,000 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship (#72) — and rode them to WSOP Player of the Year. In a series where almost nobody wins twice, three was the kind of run that reframes a career.

The High Rollers

The biggest single scores came in the high rollers. Santhosh Suvarna took the $250,000 Super High Roller for $5,415,152, the largest prize of the summer behind the Main Event. Chris Hunichen won the $100,000 High Roller for $2,838,389, and the $50,000 events fell to David Eldridge (Pot-Limit Omaha, $2,246,728), Daniel Perkusic (Pot-Limit Omaha, $2,100,325) and Jared Bleznick ($2,037,947). And in one of the summer’s most popular results, Daniel Negreanu finally captured the $50,000 Poker Players Championship (#58) for $1,178,703 — a title he had chased for years.

Big Fields and Familiar Names

The largest fields came cheap, as ever. The $1,500 Millionaire Maker drew 10,939 for Franco Spitale’s $1,250,125, and the $300 Gladiators of Poker pulled 20,647. Phil Ivey won his 11th bracelet in the $10,000 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw (#29). Xixiang Luo took two — the Bomb Pot (#41) and the $25,000 H.O.R.S.E. (#96) — the only player besides Seiver to win more than one.
