David Prociak

With a victory in Event #11: $1,500 Badugi, which saw 487 entries and a $650,145 prize pool, professional U.S. poker player David Prociak added a second WSOP bracelet to his already unusual collection of doubles:

“I have two fourths, two thirds, two seconds, and now I have two firsts. It feels great; winning one could be a fluke. Winning two, you just can’t be a fluke. Coming in second twice last year sucked; now I feel like I can actually take in some compliments.”

Alongside the trophy, David took $129,676 prize that isn’t his largest at all but very pleasant indeed.

Prociak won his first WSOP bracelet in the $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better on WSOP 2016. There he was awarded with a slightly bigger sum than this year — a total of $156,546.

Still, as of June 2024, his best cash is $330,912 for second place in the $3,500 NLH Main Event of Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open 2015.

With more than 10 years under his belt, David has established himself as a Jack-of-All-Trades when it comes to different poker formats. He has ITMs and victories in almost every poker type, including H.O.R.S.E., Limit Badugi, Mixed NLH/PLO, Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw – to name just a few.

Interestingly, he doesn’t make a big deal of it, mostly approaching games with a zen attitude:

“Poker is poker; figuring out the game is just figuring out the game. Yes, all the games are unique, but they are similar. ‘Is it value, is it a bluff?’ Then just figuring out what’s in between. That’s the hardest part of the game and I think that I have a good gauge of where I am in between with most players.“

Simeon Spasov

Bulgarian player Simeon Spasov was another attendee who expanded his WSOP collection with a second bracelet. He absolutely crushed Event #12: $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em (6-Handed). The event welcomed 2,526 entries and had a $3,372,210 prize pool.

Spasov took the second largest cash in his career with this win — $439,815.

The victory on WSOP 2024 was Simeon’s only third victory in 11-years long play in live tournaments. The two others were:

Event	Tournament	Prize
$2,000 NLH	WSOP 2022	$527,944
$2,200 NLH Merit Poker Cup	Merit Poker Carmen Series 2024	$167,100

Surprisingly, Simeon wasn’t shy about his latest success, stating:

“Maybe on Day 2 was tough… but the final table — no. Last bracelet was a much harder final table.“

Robert Mizrachi

Families that stick together are a rare occurrence in poker, showing a perspective other than the well-established “every man is for himself”. One of the most famous families in poker is the Mizrachi family, with most of its members connected to poker and/or gambling in one way or another.

During WSOP 2024, former poker dealer Robert Mizrachi became a five time WSOP winner after his victory in Event #13: $10,000 Dealers Choice Championship (6-Handed), which saw 124 entries and a prize pool of $1,153,200.

Robert’s last victory was in 2022 during the WPT Venetian Resort Las Vegas. However, the poker pro has not claimed a WSOP bracelet for eight years – until now.

His previous WSOP victories include:

Event	Tournament	Prize
$10,000 World Championship Pot Limit Omaha	WSOP 2007	$768,889
$1,500 Dealers Choice – Sex Handed	WSOP 2014	$147,092
$1,500 Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better	WSOP 2015	$251,022
$10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship	WSOP 2016	$242,662

Robert shared his thoughts after his latest triumph:

“It feels great. I’m playing my best game right now — probably better than ever. I’m so happy. I just want to focus and be there for my family and hopefully good things will happen.

I feel like I played my best game. I like Pot Limit [games] because you can control the pot against a weaker player. He can’t really put pressure on you pre-flop, so you can see more flops and you can really control things post-flop. It’s a more skilled structure as opposed to No-Limit where he could just go all in on any hand and it becomes higher variance.“

Thibault Perissat

The first Frenchman with a WSOP 2024 bracelet was Thibault Perissat, who won Event #14: $1,000 Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold’em Freezeout. The event saw 2,639 entries and a prize pool of an impressive $2,322,320.

This WSOP triumph put Thibault over the moon for a couple of reasons:

1. His best live cash ($197,308)
2. First victory in live poker
3. Happened during his first WSOP appearance

Moreover, in an interview after his victory, Perissat shared the last sweet detail about these results: he paid the buy-in with money he received as a gift on his 30^th birthday.

Caleb Furth

Another U.S. player to walk away triumphant was cash regular, Omaha lover and occasional player Caleb Furth.

He won Event #15: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better (8-Handed), which had 1,277 entries and $1,704,795 prize pool. His victory brought Furth his first bracelet and absolute best live cash, amounting to $265,361.

During the heads-up portion, Caleb faced his long-time rival Jiyang Gan, who he mentioned in his post-game interview:

“I have nothing but love for Jiyang. We’ve actually played a lot of cash together. When we were at the final two tables, he actually came up to me and said, “You number one, me number two”, and that’s how it worked out. With 14 left, he said that to me. And he wasn’t second, he was probably eighth in chips (at that point).

I feel good. The win mostly means $265,000. I’m pretty happy about the money. I hope there’s more to come. I’m going to be playing a bunch of PLO tournaments this summer“.

Brent Hart

Hard work is a good work, at least when it gives you a solid outcome. Something along those lines happened with U.S. professional poker player Brent Hart. After 15 years of grinding and trying he finally won his first WSOP bracelet.

Brent emerged victorious from Event #16: $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em (8-Handed). The tournament saw a total of 660 entries and a $3,036,000 prize pool. With this victory, Hart secured his second six-figure prize and best live cash of $660,284.

After the event ended, Hart couldn’t do anything but smile. As he explained his state in the interview:

“It’s truly surreal. I’m like floating right now.”

Timothy Murphy

Another long-time fan of the WSOP, made his dream come true in 2024. We’re talking about TJ Murphy.

Murphy’s been playing poker for 20 years but has rarely participated in the WSOP rarely and usually without any ITMs. His 2024 victory was only the fifth WSOP event of his career.

Timothy took home Event #17: $800 No-Limit Hold’em Deepstack, which saw a total 4,732 entries and an impressive $3,311,328 prize pool. In addition to his first ever WSOP bracelet, Murphy was awarded with his best live cash – $368,977.

When he got his composure back post-game, Murphy described his feelings and plans for the future:

“This moment is ridiculous, euphoric, on top of the world. I’d like to maybe come out again, but we’ll see how things work out. I was looking at maybe doing a second trip. I can afford the main (event) now, so I might do that. I’m playing well and running well, obviously, so it would be a shame for it to go to waste.”

Dylan Weisman

One of the poker community’s best of the best is U.S. professional Dylan Weisman, who just secured his second ever bracelet during WSOP 2024.

He conquered Event #18: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha (8-Handed), which saw a total 1,469 entries and a prize pool of $11,961,115. While the cash prize doesn’t even come close to some of his best live cash, the $294,311 is still a nice addition to the pile.

Weisman secured his very first bracelet from the PLO event during WSOP 2021, where he was awarded with $166,461 prize.

After his 2024 victory, Dylan was concise in expressing his feelings:

“Surreal is a good word. It’s very unique when you win a tournament. It usually takes a day or two to have it sink in, but I feel a lot of gratitude.”

John Racener

U.S. professional poker player John Racener will never let the memory of his late mom be forgotten. In 2017 he wore a “For Mom” shirt while winning his first bracelet in the $10,000 Dealers Choice – 6 Handed Championship.

In 2024, he did it again while winning Event #19: $10,000 Limit Hold’em Championship (8-Handed), which had 104 entries and a $967,200 prize pool. His latest victory gave him one of the biggest prizes of his career — $308,930.

John was thrilled to secure his second bracelet and was quite expressive in his post-game interview:

“I am so blessed and grateful to be here. I am just so happy to be out here, being able to play and grind. I know mom is watching above me right now…she is happy as shit right now.”

By the way, Racener wasn’t only grateful to his mother but to his wife as well who stayed home to care for their two sons while John played in the WSOP.

Stephen Winters

One of the biggest tournaments during WSOP 2024 was Event #20: $300 Gladiators of Poker No-Limit Hold’em. Not only did it attract a massive field of 20,647 entrants but had a $5,079,162 prize pool to go with it.

The winner of the enormous event was non other than U.S. player Stephen Winters who took his first WSOP bracelet and a $401,210 prize. The main secret t o Stephen’s success was real-time support from his family:

“It was fun to have my kids kind of railing me from home. Like, every time I would report on how I was doing, they’d be like, ‘Oh, daddy, try to get a thousand, try to get in top 900, and then they kept setting bars and bars and bars, and it’s just the whole thing (is) surreal to be at this point. This is a whole other crazy level. I don’t know if I’ll ever repeat this again, but I might play the Main (Event) now. We’ll see.”
