Level 5 : Limits 800/1,600, 0 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."
