This year’s World Series of Poker is in its final weeks. Action began in mid-July and will wrap up on GGPoker and its sister sites on Sunday, September 6.
Of the 85 tournaments on the original schedule, only 15 of them remain, one of which is the Main Event.
Speaking of that 2020 WSOP Main Event, flights already began last week for this event. With a $5,000 buy-in offering half-price entries from normal years and a $25 million guarantee on the prize pool, players are anxious to get to the online tables.
The event started with 22 starting flights, plenty of opportunities for players on GGPoker network sites to use up to three entries to bring a starting stack to Day 2 on August 30. The WSOP seems to have added more flights. As of the morning of Monday, August 24, ten starting days were in the books:
There are 1,857 entries tallied thus far, with 342 players surviving. The prize pool is at $8,820,750, a long way from the $25 million guarantee.
Back to the completed events, we already covered quite a lot of the WSOP 2020 Online tournaments, which are accessible through these links:
With updates and information provided by PokerNews, let’s get to the most recent results.
GG Event 65: $600 NLHE Deepstack Championship
It is rare to pick up a WSOP bracelet for less than $10K, but this one offered WSOP gold for a $600 buy-in…plus reentries, of course. It was well-attended.
