The record-breaking 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event in Las Vegas has reached its final nine players, and each of them are guaranteed a seven-figure payday with a chance to make poker history and walk away with $10 million.
Leading the way is Illinois native Jordan Griff, who had just $47,192 in live earnings heading into poker’s biggest event and has now locked up a minimum cash that is more than 50 times his previous best score of $18,104. Griff was all in on the first hand of the day against a flopped set but managed to river a bigger set in a miraculous shift of events that will almost certainly end up being worth several million.
