The 2024 World Series of Poker has awarded a third of the 99 bracelets to be handed out in live events, with 33 tournaments now in the books. There has already been more than $86.2 million in prize money paid out thus far, thanks to over 75,700 entries being made in the completed tournaments to date. Here is a look at the two most recent champions.
2024 WSOP $1,500 Seven Card Stud
The 2024 WSOP $1,5000 seven card stud event saw a field of 406 entries narrowed down to two highly-accomplished British poker players. In the end, Richard Ashby overcame Adam Owen to secure his second gold bracelet and the top prize of $113,725.
This victory came 14 years after Ashby’s first triumph at the series. He won the 2010 running of this same tournament for $140,467. He now has nearly $2.7 million in career tournament earnings, with the majority of that coming from 41 in-the-money finishes in WSOP competition.
The top 61 finishers secured a share of the $542,010 prize pool in this event, with the likes of David Singer (18th), Owais Ahmed (17th), David Prociak (10th), Chris Tryba (9th), Hal Rotholz (8th), Brandon Shack-Harris (5th), and Michael Noori (3rd) running deep.
Owen earned $75,805 as the runner-up, falling just one spot shy of earning his first bracelet. The two-time WSOP Circuit ring winner now has more than $3.8 million in recorded tournament scores after this strong showing.
