WSOP 2024: John Hennigan Scoops 7th Bracelet

John Hennigan, the legendary mixed game player, captured his seventh World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet in Las Vegas by winning this year’s $1,500 Dealer’s Choice event. 

John Hennigan Nails Seventh WSOP Title

John Hennigan claimed his seventh World Series of Poker bracelet, winning $138,296 in Event #7. Although Hennigan didn’t start the final day as the chip leader, an early double elimination helped him amass a significant stack. He maintained this momentum through heads-up, ultimately securing his latest WSOP title.

Hennigan commented the following when asked about his latest WSOP bracelet win, “It’s Interesting to know, I guess, just like any other number.” “Very happy to win the tournament. I mean to me, the best thing about winning the tournament is not losing it. Not getting second or knowing they’re still playing and wandering around after you go broke. It’s just very satisfying to come out on top.”

He further added, “I normally don’t (play $1,500 events), but, you know, I just happened to jump in this one. It was a pretty lucky coincidence, actually. I usually just stick with the 10 because I don’t want to burn myself out too much.”

Other Players In Mix

Shaun Deeb, another player starting the final day with six WSOP bracelets, wasn’t as fortunate and was eliminated just outside the final table in ninth place. Swedish phenom Viktor Blom finished in fourth place, paving the way for Hennigan, known as ‘Johnny World,’ to dominate the event. He entered the final duel with a 5:1 chip lead against British player Robert Wells. 

Final Table Results

Switching from Stud to No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw, Hennigan leveraged his advantage to clinch the title and his seventh bracelet. After his victory, Hennigan remarked, “I guess I’ll be in the mix for Player of the Year now.”

With his formidable performance in mixed game events, Hennigan’s challenge for Player of the Year looks strong, especially under the new format that considers only the top 10 WSOP event scores.
