Event #81: $10,000 WSOP Main Event World Championship

Day 1a Started

Will the 2024 WSOP Main Event Shatter Records Again? Poker's Biggest Tournament Kicks Off on July 3

The $10,000 buy-in 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, poker's most prestigious annual tournament, kicks off Wednesday, July 3 with the first of four Day 1 starting flights.

Last year's world championship event attracted a 55-year record 10,043 entrants, with Daniel Weinman, a member of Team Lucky, taking it down for $12.1 million.

Another Record-Breaking Year?

Jamie Gold, the 2006 champion, held onto the record for winning the largest Main Event ever for 17 years �� 8,773 players. Then last year's tournament cruised right on by that mark.

The question the poker world is asking heading into Wednesday is, will the 2024 WSOP Main Event set another record? World Series of Poker turnout, nearly across the board this summer, has been up, which is certainly a good sign. There's no way to know the answer until registration closes on Day 2d (July 8).

One thing is certain, it's going to be a massive field. Chances are strong attendance will be significantly higher than the 2006 Main Event, and potentially even bigger than one year ago.

Players can bypass the first day and take advantage of the Day 2abc or Day 2d late registration. Late registration is open for seven levels and closes at the start of Level 8 on July 7 and July 8.

Day 2abc features all the players who bagged and tagged stacks from Day 1a-1c, while Day 2d will host the Day 1d survivors. The field then merges for the first time on Day 3.

World Series of Poker Main Event History

Chris Moneymaker
Chris Moneymaker

In 1970, at Binion's Horseshoe on Fremont Street, future Poker Hall of Famer Johnny Moss won the first ever WSOP Main Event via a vote. Moss also won the tournament in 1971 and 1974, and is one of two players to have won poker's world championship event three times (Stu Ungar won it in 1980, 1981, and 1997).

The Main Event is where legends are made. Take Phil Hellmuth, for example. The "Poker Brat" ended Johnny Chan's bid for a three-peat in 1989 when he defeated Chan heads-up for the title, beating out 178 players to win $755,000.

Hellmuth pulled the upset and won his first bracelet, and now easily holds the record with 17 bracelets to his name. The Main Event went from having fewer than 10 players in 1970 to fields of nearly 200 each year in the late 1980s. There was some growth again in the 1990s with 350 entrants when Scotty Nguyen won it in 1998. From 1992-2006, the field increased annually.

When Chris Moneymaker won it in 2003 for $2.5 million, 839 people participated. Moneymaker, an amateur who swooped in and conquered an event that pros had long dominated, helped create a "poker boom," leading to exponential growth in poker's popularity.

The next year �� 2004 �� Greg Raymer beat a field of 2,576 entrants for $5 million, a 300% spike compared to 2003, the largest year-over-year percentage increase in Main Event history. It would again double in 2005, the year Joe Hachem took it down, and has remained above 6,300 players per year ever since, excluding the 2020 COVID year.

Quads Over Boat on the First Hand of the Main Event to Bust

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

As reported back to PokerNews by both David Williamson and Jon Pardy, Travis Darroch was eliminated on the very first hand of play at their table.

On a board reading 8xJx10x8xAx, David Williamson placed a sizable bet, which was met by an all-in from Darroch. Williamson snap-called.

Travis Darroch: 10x10x All in
David Williamson: 8x8x

Williamson was the beneficiary of this sick cooler as his turned quads gave Darroch a full house, ending his Main Event run after just one hand.
