On Monday July 8, Jack Binion attended the 55th annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, delivering the highly coveted WSOP Main Event Bracelet.
A WSOP Founding Father and Poker Hall of Famer, Binion made his way to the Main Event Final Table to unveil this year's prestigious WSOP Main Event gold bracelet and he bid good luck to the Main Event hopefuls playing in the tournament with a delivery of the ceremonial "Shuffle Up and Deal" alongside WSOP Vice President Jack Effel.
Considered to be the richest trophy in sports, the 2024 WSOP Main Event bracelet is custom-made by Jostens. It is made of 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.
Ty Stewart, Executive Director of the World Series of Poker, said:
"The Main Event bracelet is known as the most expensive trophy in sports but the reason it's priceless in the minds of players is because of Jack Binion. With another field around 10,000 in Las Vegas we're proud to share with him just how far his vision has come."
