The Tops of WSOP Ratings 2024

Poker has a lot of criteria for determining that someone’s “the best in something”. The most popular of these are ratings.

Since the World Series of Poker (WSOP) has an abundance of ratings for itself, we decided to dig up the most important ones and find the most fascinating top-players.

Important Note: All information about WSOP ratings here is current at the time of publication of the article.

All Time WSOP Cash, Bracelets, and Top 10 Finishes: Phil Hellmuth

Till this day (June 7th, 2024), living poker legend and most recognizable poker player Phill “The Brat” Hellmuth is on the top of three WSOP ratings:

• More ITM than any other players — 176 (but Roland Israelashvili is on his tail with 173 ITM);
• Played the most Top-10s — 78;
• Won enough bracelets to equip a football team, including a few substitute players as well — 17.

With these results Phil can undoubtedly be named “WSOP MVP” (for now) – and he knows it well.

The Magician tops the All Time Money rating with $21,917,218 earnings. The majority of this sum comes from his victory in the record-breaking $1,000,000 The Big for One Drop during WSOP 2012.

With the special platinum bracelet Antonio got one of the biggest prizes in poker history — $18,346,673 — from it.
