Just like that, the first part of the 2021 World Series of Poker is over. But another one is happening now and another gearing up for next week.
It’s confusing.
To simplify a bit, here’s the lineup of WSOP events this year:
Poker players in Nevada and New Jersey competed for 33 WSOP gold bracelets over the past month. Those played out on WSOP.com, the site available in NJ and NV with connected player pools. There are now 33 winners in total to have won 2021 bracelets thus far.
We reported the final numbers and winners from the first 19 of those tournaments midway through the series. The World Series grouped its 33 events by category. Premiere Week handled the first eight events, followed by three Micro Madness events and then 10 in PLO Week. We now pick up with the final tournaments of PLO Week and then move forward through the end of the series.

Three Events with no Theme Results
If this series had an island of misfits, this trio of tournaments was it, though that’s not to say they weren’t popular with players.
