The 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) shattered records and exceeded expectations, marking a spectacular chapter for the global poker community. With a jaw-dropping rise in entries and a record-breaking total in funds collected, this year’s event has truly redefined what’s possible at the WSOP.

Highlights include unprecedented participation numbers, a significant leap in total funds, and standout individual performances. Join PokerNewsas we explore the details of this historic poker series.

This article focuses only on the 99 live bracelet events and does not account for 2024 WSOP Online.

30/7/24 Update: Due to a table error, some figures have changed from the original release.

Number of Entries Up From 2023

Paris Ballroom

In last year's WSOP breakdown, PokerNewstold you that the total number of entries across the festival in 2023 was 215,655. Thanks to four additional live bracelet events this time around, that figure rose to 229,559, enough to fill three-and-a-half Allegiant Stadiums.

For a second consecutive year, the $300 Gladiators of Poker was the best-attended event, garnering 20,647 entry slips. The $400 Colossus narrowly missed the 20K milestone, wrapping up with 19,303.

The other events with a five-figure population were the $1,000 Mystery Millions (18,409), $1,500 Millionaire Maker (10,939), and the record-breaking $10,000 Main Event (10,112).

Furthermore, if a player wanted to fire a single bullet in each event, their bankroll would need to be $971,856 to cover all the costs.

Almost Half a Billion Gambled

$10,000,000 - Money

Yes, that's right. Nearly $500 million was collected from the 2024 WSOP Bracelet events, a truly eyebrow-raising figure.

The WSOP collected $480,764,185 across the summer, $40 million more than last year's total. To put that into perspective, that's more than the GDP of places like:

  • Micronesia ($460m)
  • Kiribati ($279m)
  • Palau ($263m)
  • Marshall Islands ($284m)
  • Nauru ($154m)
  • Tuvalu ($62m)
    *Figures are from World Bank estimates

And now, the bit that everybody wants to know. How much did the WSOP take in rake?

From the $480,764,185 collected, $438,594,151 went into prize pools, meaning $42,170,034 went to the WSOP. As explained in 2023, the rake is shared between entry fees and the WSOP staff. From the rake, $29,466,524 was taken in entry fees, with $12,703,510 going to the workers.

Did you know? The $1,000 rake from the $250,000 buy-in Super High Roller goes straight to staff.

A total of $67,020,895 was paid out in first-place prizes, with Jonathan Tamayo's $10 million payout for winning the Main Event being the highest. Fifteen bracelet winners were rewarded with seven-figure windfalls, in addition to the two players who pulled the $1 million Mystery Millions top bounty prizes.

Scott Seiver Joins an Exclusive Club

Scott Seiver
Scott Seiver

Scott Seiver became the first player to win three WSOP bracelets at the same venue in the same year since Jeffrey Lisandro in 2009.

George Danzer won three in 2014 but the first occurred in the World Series of Poker Asia Pacific (APAC) series. Phil Ivey (2002), Phil Hellmuth (1993), Ted Forrest (1993), and Puggy Pearson (1973) are the only other players to win three WSOP titles in a single series.

Seiver began the summer with a victory for $426,744 in the $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8-or-Better Championship event. Two weeks later, he took down the $1,500 Razz tournament for $141,374. In doing so, he became the favorite for Player of the Year. He'd tack on a third bracelet in late June in the $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship for $411,041.

With a trio of triumphs, Seiver was crowned the 2024 WSOP Player of the Year, holding off the likes of Jeremy Ausmus, John Racener and Michael Rocco.
