GG Event 47: $1K NLHE Short Deck
The popularity of Short Deck over the years shows with more bracelets in that variation each year. This year, it was on the Asia-friendly time schedule, and that worked for the winner, who hails from Malaysia.

GG Event 48: $1,500 NLHE Millionaire Maker
This tournament has become one of the most popular at the WSOP in Las Vegas each year, and players flocked to it online as well. The event guaranteed $5 million in the prize pool and $1 million to the winner, but the actual numbers went far beyond that. And in the end, a player long thought to have deserved a WSOP gold bracelet won one.

GG Event 50: $2,100 NLHE Bounty Championship
Players love bounty tournaments. Some specialize in collecting bounties, as did this winner who took in nearly as much in bounties as in his cash prize.
This one was a straight-up, low buy-in, great game of Omaha. And the man who won has played a long time in his father’s footsteps and now has a PLO bracelet to match his father’s.

What seemed like a regular ol’ No Limit Hold’em event turned into a historic one, as the winner became the first in this 2020 WSOP Online to win two gold bracelets.
The first tournament last weekend set for players in the Asia-Pacific time zone gave deeper stacks to PLO fans. And a US player ended up winning his first gold in this one.
The $10K NLHE Heads-Up Championship whittled its way down from 128 players to just four: David Peters, Michael Zhang, Alyssa MacDonald, and Michael Addamo. They return next Saturday to play for the win. Everything else is lined up for the week ahead as follows:
