After 12 days of amazing live action, the 55th annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event has reached its Final Table of nine players.

Either Jordan Griff, Brian Kim, Niklas Astedt, Joe Serock, Jason Sagle, Boris Angelov, Jonathan Tamayo, Malo Latinois or Andres Gonzalez will make poker history this week by claiming victory over the record-setting field of 10,112 entrants for this year’s 2024 Main Event – the largest field in live tournament poker history.

On Tuesday, July 16, the nine players will take to the “Mothership” stage inside the Horseshoe Events Center for the final showdown in the undisputed world championship of poker, the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em World Championship, also known as the Main Event.

The first-place winner will take home $10,000,000 in prize money and the richest trophy in sports, the WSOP Main Event bracelet.

Considered the richest trophy in sports, the 2024 WSOP Main Event bracelet was custom-made from approximately 445 grams of 10-karat yellow gold with 2,253 various precious gemstones, including 1,948 round genuine diamonds, 230 black onyx stones, and 75 genuine red rubies to accentuate the suits.

Special to this year’s design is a removable golden face plate in the center of the bracelet that serves as a card protector.
