I would be interested to know which bracelet winners have defeated the highest number of players in their bracelet-winning events (i.e. adding up the number of players defeated in each event in which they won a bracelet). Another list excluding the single highest player count event for each player might be interesting too since otherwise it may be dominated by one-hit wonders.

I like the idea of eliminating the highest number. Brian Yoon is at 5516 if you do that, and 12232 if you don’t, so we’ll make him the clubhouse leader.

Great idea, John & Bully. I'll make that my next list[s] on Tuesday.

What about breaking it down by series too? USA, Europe, Paradise
Maybe an online too. Technically its part of each series, however, now there are more online series that its difficult to keep track of. (some only certain US states, some multi-states, some international only, etc...)
Also, it would be interesting to see average field size defeated for the top 10 each year.

I'll do U.S. and Online, but pretty small sample size for everything else (especially when subtracting out the largest fields, where all you have is a handful of multi-bracelet winners for Europe and none for Paradise Island).

Similarly, this is just a list of the biggest fields (and multi-bracelet winners).

Here are the players who in their WSOP careers have defeated the largest fields overall, online, in the U.S., Europe, and Paradise Island, and by women. Other than Paradise Island, which has had no multiple bracelet winners yet, each list is followed by the same list minus the largest field defeated.

Notes:
* Data is through 2024 (some 2025 results are mentioned in comments).
* "Online" here only includes online festivals, not online events that were part of the WSOP Las Vegas.

Grokipedia WSOP Errors

• 10. Internal inconsistencies:
  
  • "Most Main Event wins: Johnny Moss (3), Stu Ungar (3)": As mentioned earlier in the article, Moss's first championship was by vote as there was no Main Event in 1970 (this is also specifically mentioned in a later section).
    
  • "Most Main Event final tables: Jesse Alto (7)": Earlier in the article, it said, "Crandell Addington holds the record for the most final table appearances in the WSOP Main Event with seven (1972–1979, excluding 1977)".
    
  • "Most Main Event final tables in consecutive years: Bob Hooks (4, 1973–1976), Johnny Moss (4, 1971–1974)": Again it's Addington with 5 from 1972 to 1976.
    
  • "Phil Hellmuth holds multiple WSOP records including most bracelets, most WSOP cashes, and most WSOP final tables": This record is now Daniel Negreanu's as the article noted earlier and will note again later.
    
  • "Most Player of the Year awards (since 2004) Daniel Negreanu (2004, 2013) 2": As mentioned earlier, Shaun Deeb tied this record in 2025.
    
  • "In 1995, Barbara Enright became the only woman to make the Final Table of the World Series of Poker, finishing in fifth place": Leo Margets became the second woman to reach the Main Event final table in 2025, as mentioned later.
    
  
  
  
• 9. "Number of bracelet events per year": After the text mentioned "dedicated online series" in 2020 and 2021, this table includes only 11 online events in 2021, when an 85-event online festival ran from July to November. Subsequent bracelet events on WSOP.com and GGPoker are also omitted.
  
  
• 8. "ESPN Classic currently airs many of the old broadcasts from the mid-1990s and beyond": ESPN Classic was shut down on December 31, 2021.
  
  
• 7. "Each year, the WSOP culminates with the $10,000 no-limit hold'em 'Main Event'": The Main Event was historically the last tournament to finish, but that changed in 2018 when 13 events started later, and the Big One for One Drop ended two days after the championship did. The Main Event officially lost its anchor position in 2021, when 21 tournaments started later, and over half of those ended later.
  
  
• 6. "[The WSOP] dates its origins to 1970, when Benny Binion invited seven of the best-known poker players": Roughly thirty players actually participated, as can be seen in this group photo from PokerListing's 1970 article.
  
  
• 5. "Seven card stud was the game for the [Ladies] event's first two decades, but it was replaced by Texas hold 'em in 2001": The format was Stud from 1977 to 1999, half Limit Hold 'Em and half Stud from 2000 to 2003, Limit Hold 'Em in 2004, and finally No-Limit Hold 'Em since 2005.
  
  
• 4. "In 1973, a five-card stud event was added": Bill Boyd won the first Five-Card Stud tournament in 1971.
  
  
• 3. "Most Main Event money finishes: Berry Johnston (10)": Johnny Chan (2023) and Allen Cunningham (2024) have both cashed 11 times.
  
  
• 2. "[Barbara Enright was] the first woman to win an open event at the World Series of Poker": Vera Richmond was the first in 1982 ($1,000 Ace-to-Five Draw), fourteen years earlier. Bonus Error: "Since 1976, a bracelet has been awarded to the winner of every event at the annual WSOP". For the 1982 festival, the WSOP switched to gold watches, but Richmond specifically requested and received a traditional bracelet.
  
  
• 1. "The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is a series of poker tournaments held annually in Paradise, Nevada": The very first line of the article is misleading. The World Series of Poker did start with an annual festival in Las Vegas, but it also includes WSOP Europe, WSOP Paradise Island, and the WSOP Circuit.
  

Generated by AI. The first request was “the two of clubs trumping the ace, king and queen of hearts”. Can’t remember the second request but you can see it strained it to the breaking point.

I'm surprised it missed so badly on this one as it's just a trick in bridge with clubs as the trump suit.

Alas, can't see this image ("Image not found").
