The 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas wrapped up another exciting day of action. Following Phil Ivey’s bracelet win yesterday, Day 18 saw quieter but equally thrilling moments. Phillip Hui clinched his fourth bracelet in Event #35: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E., overcoming a significant chip disadvantage during heads-up play to secure the victory.

In Event #34: $2,500 Freezeout No-Limit Hold’em, Antonio Galiana pulled off a sensational bluff against Johan Guilbert. This daring move put Galiana in a strong position, leading to his first-ever WSOP bracelet and a $439,395 prize.
