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."
John Holley opened to 20,000 from middle position, Yingui Li made a pot-sized raise to 69,000 from the cutoff, Holley moved all in for not much more and Li made the call to put him at risk.
John Holley: A♥K♥8♦3♠
Yingui Li: A♠Q♣Q♦2♥
The board ran out Q♠10♠9♦2♣5♠. Li had flopped top set and held to send Holley to the rail and take the pot.

"You're good" Duek told his opponent. Thibodaux tabled A♠6♠2♠8♣ for an ace-high flush to take down a sizable pot.
