The World Series of Poker found its groove. Its WSOP 2020 Online series wrapped up the US-directed portion of the action with its 31st tournament on July 31, and the international portion is well underway.

GGPoker moved past its initial hiccups with a site overload and DDoS attack, and tournaments seem to now be running smoothly. More than one dozen poker players have claimed 2020 WSOP bracelets in the past few weeks on GGPoker, including Kristen Bicknell, who claimed her third career bracelet.
