In 2024, Boi reached the money of the €5,300 EPT Monte Carlo Main Event again before finishing second in the €1,050 Hyper Turbo Freezout at the same festival.
Boi headed to the 2024 WSOP, where he played in the $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em event. He outlasted 1,772 opponents and collected $676,990 and his first WSOP bracelet.
