The Winners of the Sixth 10 Events of WSOP 2024

PokerListings continues to share results from WSOP 2024 with you. In this article you’ll find information about the winners of the sixth ten events of the World Series of Poker 2024, crowned from June 20th to June 24th.

Note: We did not include WSOP Online events and results of live WSOP events that were played next — you can find them in later articles on PokerListings.

Peter Park

It took 16 hours of continuous live play for young U.S. poker player Peter Park to bank his third ever career victory in Event #51: $1,500 Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold’em Freezeout. The event saw 2,110 entries and racked up a $2,816,850 prize pool.

While young, Park isn’t an amateur player — he’s already tried his luck as a professional player but kept playing as hobby mostly because of his career success outside poker:

“I used to play full time, but then I found a job I really like, around two years ago. I work at an aviation company in Dallas, which means that I don’t have as much time for live tournaments anymore, but I still play online every day.”

Although the victory at the WSOP 2024 is his best live cash ($240,724), it wasn’t his first six-figure ITM. In 2019, Park won the $375 NLH Event of Hustler Casino Player Appreciation Series and took home a $101,181 prize.

Mostafa Haidary

Thanks to a victory and a $656,747 prize in Event #52: $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em 6-Handed, Australian Mostafa Haidary finally passed the $1 million milestone of live cash earnings. The event he took down came with 817 entries and a prize pool worth $3,758,200.

This is his first bracelet and second career victory, after a humble A$220 NLH Turbo on 2017 The Star Casino Recurring Tournaments, which came with a less impressive $5,352 prize. Until the WSOP 2024, his best cash was $119,388 for taking 3rd place in the A$2K WPT Prime Gold Coast Main Event 2023. In other words, this WSOP victory comes in as a really big deal for Haidary:

“I just woke up this morning and said I’m as close as it gets to winning. Everything went smoothly so it was great. I’m so happy! My plans for the moment are to play more poker and celebrate with my wife and kids who are back home. I’m appreciative to be here. We have a great poker scene. There are a lot of great players in Australia and I’m lucky to be one of them.”

Yuri Dzivielevski

The most fabulous man on the poker scene (at least for me) , Brazil super-star Yuri Martins Dzivielevski took down Event #53: $3,000 Nine Game Mix (7-Handed). The event counted 379 entries and a $1,011,930 prize pool.

With this win Dzivielevski just secured his third live WSOP bracelet. As usual, his rail was nothing but loud and positive, celebrating every second of Yuri’s success and supporting him till the end, when he took home $215,982.

Event	Year	Prize
$2,500 Mixed Omaha Hi/Lo 8 or Better, Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo 8 or Better	2019	$213,750
WSOP Online – $400 Pot Limit Omaha – PLOSSUS	2020	$ 221,557
$1,500 H.O.R.S.E.	2023	$207,688
Event #53: $3,000 Nine Game Mix (7-Handed)	2024	$215,982

All of the victories are near and dear to Yuri’s heart, as he explains during the WSOP 2024:

“I think each bracelet has a special feeling, a special memory. I cannot compare it to other bracelets. It’s always an amazing feeling, I can’t explain how amazing it is. I don’t think about the past, I just focus on the future. I am human, so sometimes I feel anxious about these things, but I try to focus on the moment.”

Franco Spitale

Due to the specifics of the WSOP, it is always had to compete with the flood of North American players. Especially, in Event #54: $1,500 MILLIONAIRE MAKER No-Limit Hold’em where an affordable buy-in gives a lot of people the opportunity to try to become a millionaire.

This year, the event attracted 10,939 entries and a prize pool worth $14,603,565. Funnily enough, players from over a dozen countries entered the event but once the final table rolled around all except one from the USA. The only “black ship” was Argentinian Franco Spitale, who ended up winning the tournament and taking home an unbelievable $1,250,125 prize.

For Spitale, whose previous best live cash was $102,944 at the Circuito Argentino de Poker 2017 Series, the moment of WSOP triumph was completely overwhelming. Still, he found enough words to re-tell a short and sweet story:

“You know, it’s too much. Really? I dreamed about this all my life. I promised my little girl, I have a daughter called Emma, that the next trophy would be for her, so this trophy is for her.”

Santhosh Suvarna

For Indian Santhosh Suvarna, the sweetest soul in the poker industry big wins aren’t unusual. The most surprising thing about them is that they only occurred a few times, despite him counting more than $13 million total in live winning. Suvarna secured his latest victory in Event #55: $250,000 Super High Roller No-Limit Hold’em, which came with 75 entries and a $18,675,000 prize pool.

Suvarna took home home the WSOP bracelet along with his best live cash ($5,415,152). Technically, this was his second WSOP victory, the first one being during WSOP-E in 2023.

Humble and a still a bit shy, Santosh wasn’t talkative after his triumph, stating: 

“I’m feeling very happy. Every day, I’m learning. I’m doing very good.”

A few warm words about Suvarna came from Nick Airball, famous for his aggressive image in Hustler Casino Live:

“He’s just, like, the sweetest guy you can find. He’s just always happy, always nice, always cheerful, always helpful.”

Patrick Moulder

Not every poker player dreams about winning a WSOP event — true realists have more reachable goals, like snagging a seat at the final table.

However, sometimes fate has a funny way of meddling with our expectations — at least, that’s how it U.S. poker player Patrick Moulder, who conquered Event #56: $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball (Limit) could see it. Moulder came up on top against 371 entries and a $825,475 prize pool.

After taking the first gold bracelet and a $177,045 prize, he shared his shock:

“My goal coming into the summer was to make one final table. I got to one early in the summer and got knocked out right away. It was nice to have a long Day 3 and get across the finish line. I didn’t take anything for granted. I was excited as we kept getting closer and closer, and I caught a lot of good cards when we were three and four-handed, which is key to winning a tournament.“

Frank Funaro

It is always a pleasure to see bracelets holders back at the WSOP final tables. Still, when two of them battle in out in a heads-up it’s more than just fascinating to watch. This year, it happened in Event #57: $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold’em Freezeout, which came with 486 entries and a $4,519,800 prize pool. Japanese player Shota Nakanishi and American Frank Funaro met for the fateful duel. 

The U.S. poker player finished victorious, taking his second bracelet and a $612,997 prize to match.

Funaro was thrilled over his WSOP win, sharing his emotions post interview:

“This is my best poker moment. I feel like I’ve been close in a lot of these, and it feels really good to finally get one done. I tried to embrace the madness and got really lucky. I was short, I rounded it up, and then I was short again. It was a swinging Super Turbo. The table was full of professionals; it wasn’t the easiest final table. But luck was on my side. There were a lot of tough spots, and they all went my way. And I thought I played relatively well, all things considered. I’m very grateful.”

Daniel Negreanu

After 11 years of grinding, trying, and studying, the most recognizable player in poker history Daniel Negreanu finally won his seventh WSOP bracelet by smashing one of the toughest tournaments in the industry — Event #58: $50,000 Poker Players Championship. In 2024, the event saw 89 entries and a prize pool worth $4,249,750. 

While Kid Poker didn’t take nearly close to his best live cash ($1,178,703) this time, it didn’t matter much as the victory itself:

“[I feel] A lot of relief really. I have a lot of anxiety about coming heads-up because I’ve had so many seconds. And it was just nice for things to feel like they went my way at this final table. There is one event in the world I want to play more than any and I wanted to win more than any, and it’s this one. This is the one.”

After first emotions subsided, Negreanu dedicated one of his tweet to haters with whom he shared a “special” relationships:

Sean Jazayeri

U.S. poker player Sean Jazayeri has had a long and fruitful career, mostly adorned with a lot of grind and small cashes. That’s why his first-ever WSOP victory and a $358,025 prize in Event #59: $1,000 SUPER SENIORS No-Limit Hold’em, came as insanely special. The event had with 3,362 entries and a prize pool of $2,958,560.

Since Sean had been dreaming about a WSOP bracelet for 15 years, he was over the moon during his post game interview:

“I feel great, it’s always been on my bucket list. Hopefully I’ll win a bracelet in an open event, too, but man, this is a dream come true. I hate playing short stack but it’s the easiest way to play. You either shove or you fold, and I was very lucky with a couple of hands like when I had Ace-Five against Kings. Super, super lucky. Then I won a race with Ace-Queen against Jacks, so it all worked out. Luck is a part of this game.”

Paolo Boi

Every meme-enthusiast in the world dreams of the moment to shout: “Yeah, boiiiii!” for real. And once Event #60: $3,000 No-Limit Hold’em wrapped up, Italian Paolo Boi had a chance to do just that after winning the tournament and snagging $676,900. Just in case you were wondering, there was a lot of competition to beat, as the event saw 1,773 entries and a $4,733,910 prize pool.

Sadly, the winner was too tired for proper celebrations. As he explains:

“It’s been very hard for four days. I didn’t even think about the bracelet because I was short-stacked during the whole tournament. [I was so tired to the last hand] that when I called, I didn’t realize that I had won. It was a bit confusing in my mind.”
