Scott Stewart has won the 2024 WPT World Championship.

He took home the huge top prize of $2,563,900 at Wynn Las Vegas, and also secures a seat to next year’s championship.

Following his victory, Stewart, who joins the World Poker Tour Champions Club, said: "No plans for the money, but plans to have some fun and I can’t be more excited."

"I got the best friends in the world. A lot of friends came out. Shout out to you guys. You’re the best. We like to have fun, anything we do. We had a little bit of extra fun today and it was worth it."

2,392 entrants competed in the third annual $10,400 buy-in tournament, generating a total prize pool of $23,441,600.

"I would like to offer a huge thank you to all the players and Wynn staff that made the third annual WPT World Championship an event to remember," said WPT CEO Adam Pliska.

"There were some exceptional competitors this year. Our compliments go out to Scott for coming out on top and cementing his spot in WPT history."

All six players at the televised final table took home more than $600,000. A deal was made during three-handed play, evening out the top three payouts.

Rob Sherwood claimed $2,200,000 as the runner-up, Eddie Pak placed third for $2,000,000, WPT Champion Chris Moorman placed fourth, an identical finish to his previous run in 2023, for $1,150,000, Ryan Yu placed fifth for $875,000, and Christian Roberts placed sixth for $665,000.
