Who Can You Back on StakeKings During the 2024 WSOP?
Table Of Contents
The 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) kicked off on May 28 and thousands of poker players are already in Las Vegas hoping to get their hands on a gold WSOP bracelet. However, not everyone can make it out to Sin City but that doesn't mean you can not be part of the action. Not only can you follow every live bracelet-awarding event here at PokerNews, but you can also buy pieces of WSOP players' action and share in their success.
StakeKings acts as an intermediary for backers and sellers by providing an easy-to-use online platform enabling investors to buy pieces of players' action from as little as 1%. Players, including many battling away at the WSOP, sell action via StakeKings and the investors in those players win a share of their prize money if they cash in their package's event. StakeKings guarantees everyone gets paid and receives their winnings in a timely manner, which is great when there are potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars waiting to be won.

Anyone who plays live and online poker can create a free StakeKings account and buy or sell action. The WSOP is the busiest time of the year for live poker tournaments, so there are dozens upon dozens of single WSOP events and packages available to buy at StakeKings, and from some of the poker world's most recognizable players.
Which Poker Pros Are Selling 2024 WSOP Action on StakeKings?
If you head to the StakeKings marketplace and type "WSOP" into the search bar at the top left of the screen, everyone who has tagged their packages as being WSOP-related will be displayed. Do that now, and you'll see hundreds of single events and packages for you to invest in.
You may want to click the green "players" button next to the search bar to narrow down your search.

Select the player(s) you are interested in, click save, and everything that player(s) has for sale is displayed on your screen.
Let's take Chance Kornuth as an example. At the time of writing, Kornuth is giving his fans a sweat by selling small stakes in his action in the $50,000 High Roller (Event 39), $100,000 High Roller (Event 47), $250,000 High Roller (Event 55), and $50,000 High Roller (Event 92).
There is currently 0.95% of Kornuth's Event #39: $50,000 High Roller package, where he plans to fire two bullets. Buying all 0.95% would cost you $1,070.68 but would entitle you to 0.95% of any winnings. Last year, a min-cash was worth $80,920 with the champion taking home $2,087,073. If this year's event pays out the exact same and Kornuth min-cashed, you'd win $7,687.40, but if he took it down, you'd be $198,271.94 richer than when the tournament started!
Kornuth's action is in big buy-in events, but many other top pros are selling action in smaller, more affordable tournaments. Joey Weissman is selling action in more than 70 tournaments, including the upcoming $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha bracelet event. He currently has 6.8* available, which would cost you $141.50, but you could buy a shade over 1% of Weissman's action for only $18.
Both Kornuth and Weissman have recent big scores under the belts, Kornuth winning $133,000 and $74,300 at the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown in April and Weissman raking in $116,000 and $76,046 scores in May.
