===Poker Hall of Fame===
{{Main|Poker Hall of Fame}}
Since its inception in 1979, the WSOP Poker Hall of Fame has honored 42 individuals.<ref name="hof">{{Cite web |title=WSOP Poker Hall of Fame |url=http://www.wsop.com/pokerhalloffame/index.asp |access-date=2023-07-15 |website=World Series of Poker}}</ref> Selection criteria for players include having competed against acknowledged top competition, played for high stakes, and played consistently well to gain the respect of their peers. For non-players, selection is based on positive and lasting contributions to the overall growth and success of poker.<ref name="hof" />

===Player of the Year===
Since 2004, a Player of the Year (POY) award has been given to the player with the most points accumulated throughout the WSOP.  As of 2019, fifteen different players have won the sixteen awards, with [[Daniel Negreanu]] as the only player to win the award more than once.<ref>{{Cite web |date=June 28, 2015 |title=The top 5 greatest WSOP doubles |url=https://www.pokerstrategy.com/news/world-of-poker/The-top-5-greatest-WSOP-doubles_92119/ |access-date=2023-07-15 |website=PokerStrategy.com}}</ref>

Only "open" events in which all players can participate count in the standings; this eliminates the Seniors, Ladies, and Casino Employee events.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Player of the Year |url=https://www.wsop.com/2023/poy/ |access-date=2023-07-15 |website=World Series of Poker}}</ref> Beginning with the 2006 World Series of Poker, the Main Event and the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. competition had no effect on the outcome of the winner of the Player of the Year award. In the 2008 World Series of Poker, the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event counted toward the Player of the Year award, but the Main Event did not. Since 2009, all open events, including the Main Event, count towards Player of the Year. The Player of the Year standings were based upon performance solely at the WSOP in Las Vegas up until 2010, but beginning in 2011 have also taken the World Series of Poker Europe into account, and starting in 2013 also include events in the World Series of Poker Asia Pacific. The 2011 WSOP Player of the Year organized by ''Bluff Magazine'' used a different scoring system which took into account field sizes and buy-in amounts when calculating points earned.<ref>{{Cite magazine |title=2011 World Series of Poker Player of the Year |url=http://www.bluffmagazine.com/wsop-poy/formula.asp |magazine=Bluff Magazine |access-date=May 8, 2012}}</ref> This scoring system has been used ever since.

===Records===
Since its inception, [[Stu Ungar]] and [[Johnny Moss]] are the only players to have won the Main Event three times. However, Moss's first victory came in a different format, as he was elected winner by vote of his fellow players at the conclusion of what was then a timed event. Moss, Ungar, [[Doyle Brunson]], and [[Johnny Chan]] are the only people who have won the Main Event in consecutive years. Chan's second victory in 1988 was featured in the 1998 film ''[[Rounders (film)|Rounders]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-06-23 |title=10 great events in WSOP history: Johnny Chan traps a second world championship |url=https://paulphuapoker.com/johnny-chan-traps-wsop/ |access-date=2023-02-13 |website=Paul Phua Poker |language=en}}</ref>

[[Phil Hellmuth]] holds multiple WSOP records including most bracelets, most WSOP cashes, and most WSOP final tables. He is also the only player to have won the Main Events of both the WSOP and WSOP Europe.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Wise |first=Gary |author-link=Gary Wise |date=2008-10-06 |title=Wise: Hellmuth's Legacy? |url=https://www.espn.com/espn/poker/columns/story?columnist=wise_gary&id=3629313 |access-date=2024-06-01 |website=ESPN.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Phil Hellmuth |url=http://www.wsop.com/players/playerprofile.asp?playerID=271 |access-date=October 21, 2012 |publisher=World Series of Poker}}</ref>

In recent years, the prize pool for the WSOP Main Event has become so large that the winner instantly becomes one of the top money winners of WSOP and even in tournament poker history. Before July 2012, the top seven players on the all-time WSOP Earnings list were Main Event champions from 2005 to 2011, among whom [[Jamie Gold]] topped those seven, he won the 2006 Main Event, which had then the biggest first prize for a single tournament, and still is the largest poker tournament [[List of largest poker tournaments in history (by prize pool)|by prize pool]] in history. However, the all-time leader is currently poker professional [[Daniel Negreanu]], who has not won a Main Event, although he won the inaugural WSOP Asia Pacific Main Event in 2013. He is followed by professionals [[Antonio Esfandiari]] and [[Daniel Colman]], both also yet to win a Main Event in Las Vegas.

The list below includes the [[World Series of Poker Europe|WSOP Europe]] and [[World Series of Poker Asia Pacific|WSOP Asia-Pacific]], but excludes [[WSOP Circuit events]] and other non-bracelet events. The results are updated through the 2014 WSOP APAC.
