It was a star-studded affair in 2022, with the likes of Maria Ho, Daniel Negreanu, and Justin Bonomo all contributing to the prize pool, as well as former main event winners Koray Aldemir, Hossein Ensan, and Phil Hellmuth, with Hellmuth being denied his 17th bracelet in heads-up play to eventual champ and now two-time bracelet winner, David Jackson.

Jackson earned his first WSOP bracelet after taking down Event #25: $777 LUCKY SEVENS as part of the 2021 GGPoker WSOP Online Bracelet Events. Jackson made it through a field of 2,014 entries to win the bracelet and $194,178.
