Isaac Haxton is the defending champ. The poker legend beat out 301 entrants in 2023 to win $1,698,215 and his first bracelet.
"I've finished second and third many times for my biggest cashes so it's nice to finally win. A three hundred-player field for a $25k, yeah I guess it's gotta be up there with one of my biggest accomplishments," Haxton said after winning.
