The 2021 World Series of Poker hit the halfway point a few days ago. Technically, the first of five WSOP iterations crossed that mark. The action kicked off on July 1 with the WSOP Online bracelet events aimed at players in the United States. It has been playing out on WSOP.com with a shared player pool for those located in Nevada and New Jersey.

The full five sections of WSOP 2021 are:

–US online at WSOP.com (Nevada/New Jersey): July 1 – August 1

–International online at GGPoker: August 1 – September 12

–WSOP live in Las Vegas: September 30 – November 23

–WSOP Europe live in Czech Republic: November 14 – December 8
