Jack Binion and 2024 Main Event Bracelet Reveal

Another year, another record with the 2024 WSOP Main Event having surpassed last year's figure of 10,043.

The official figure is as yet unconfirmed, but the WSOP has announced that the record was broken shortly after 3 p.m. local time midway through the second level of Day 1d.

The prize pool is also yet to be announced, but it's widely expected to be a figure similar to the $12,100,000 that Daniel Weinman won twelve months ago.

Late registration remains open until approximately 5:10 p.m. ET. The WSOP is reminding players who wish to max late register the Main Event that they need to be registered and IN LINE at the Late Registration desk by the start of Level 8.

Piper Drills the Flop

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action picked up on a board showing 10♦8♠6♠ in a hand with Steven Piper all in out of the big blind for his remaining 15,700 against an opponent on the button.

The player on the button was in the tank shuffling chips and looking at the board before asking the dealer for a count, which the dealer confirmed. The player on the button then called to put Piper at risk.

“I flopped a straight,” Piper said before tabling his hand.

Steven Piper: 9♣7♥ All in
Opponent: K♣10♣

Piper was well ahead in the hand after the flop. And it remained that way after the dealer placed Q♠ on the turn and 2♣ on the river to give Piper a double up.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jerry Wong opened the action with a raise to 2,500 in middle position. Thong Ho three-bet to 9,000 in the small blind and Wong called.

Ho continued for 10,000 on a rainbow 4♦5♥10♠ flop and Wong made the call.

The turn 8♦ rolled off and Ho sized-up to 15,000. Wong called once more.

The river 6♠ hit the felt and Ho moved all in for 56,200. Wong went into the tank for almost ten minutes, ultimately settling on a call. Ho flipped over K♥K♦ and it was good against Wong's Q♥Q♠.
