Mixed Game Legend John Hennigan Wins Seventh Bracelet at 2024 WSOP

Sandra Barbour

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

It had been 14 years since anyone crossed the six-bracelet milestone, the last being Men "The Master" Nguyen. However, John Hennigan has now broken that streak, winning his seventh bracelet in Event #7: $1,500 Dealer's Choice at the 2024 World Series of Poker.

Hennigan defeated Robert Wells after a brief heads-up duel. With the win, Hennigan became only the ninth player to join the seven-bracelet club.

"It's Interesting to know, I guess, just like any other number" Hennigan commented when asked about the accolade. "Very happy to win the tournament. I mean to me, the best thing about winning the tournament is not losing it. Not getting second or knowing they're still playing and wandering around after you go broke. It's just very satisfying to come out on top."

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

In the 835th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway is joined by poker pros Shaun Deeb and Josh Arieh, who fill in as special co-hosts at Level 9 in Las Vegas where the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) is happening now!

Hear about how Fortnite helped them form Team Lucky alongside Matt Glantz and reigning WSOP Main Event champ Daniel Weinman, Arieh's Poker Stake venture, and their thoughts on the Poker Hall of Fame, including Scott Seiver's chances of getting in after he recently won his fifth gold bracelet.

They also weigh in on two hot topics from this week in poker — whether or not phones, spurred by solver software debates, and excessive masking should be allowed at poker tables.

Speaking of gold, Malcolm Trayner captured his first WSOP bracelet in Event #5: $1,000 Mystery Millions for $1,000,000, while two other players scored million-dollar bounties. Unfortunately, their reactions were a bit subdued, much to the dismay of many in the poker community.

That said, two other players had boisterous celebrations when they pulled six-figure bounties. See them all in the latest episode as well as a winner interview with Trayner.

Finally, learn about other bracelet winners such as David Prociak and Simeon Spasov, get an update on the $25K Fantasy league, and see Jack Binion walk the halls of the Horseshoe and reminisce about 55 years of the WSOP!
