Ahead of us is one of the most exciting weeks of WSOP Online bracelets thus far. While most WSOP events don’t usually have guarantees, the two coming up on Sunday at WSOP Online and WSOP PA are exceptions to this rule.
On the shared WSOP MI/NJ/NV platforms, players will have a shot at a share of $1,000,000 in the $500 Mystery Bounty event taking place on June 23. In Pennsylvania, WSOP PA is hosting the only bracelet event with a guarantee, promising a prize pool of at least $100,000.
Leading up to the Sunday events, players in New Jersey, Michigan, and Nevada will get to take another shot at a bracelet in the $600 Monster Stack event on Saturday June 22. Although this tournament has no official guarantee, from what we’ve seen so far, the prize pool should be around $800,000.
Between these three tournaments, online players will compete for over $2,000,000 in events with very reasonable buy-ins, so we expect the action to be fast and furious this weekend.

WSOP Online: $600 Monster Stack (June 22)
- Event #10 – $500 NLH Monster Stack
- Date: Saturday, June 22
- Start time: 3:30 PM (PST), 6:30 PM (EST)
- Where: WSOP Online (including WSOP NV, WSOP NJ and WSOP MI)
The weekend WSOP Online bracelet action gets underway with Event #10, a $600 NLH Monster Stack event. As the name suggests, this tournament caters to players who want to get plenty of play for their money.
The event features a 400 big blinds starting stack and 15-minute levels, making it one of the best structures you’ll find online. Of course, this one will take a while to complete, so be prepared for a long grind. Late registration remains open for 280 minutes, and there are standard three reentries per player allowed.
Although the Monster Stack doesn’t have a guarantee, we fully expect it to attract a solid number of entries and get over $800,000 in prizes. For comparison, Event #4 Deepstack featured the same buy-in and similar structure, and it attracted over 1,500 entries, generating the prize pool of $845,000.
WSOP Online: $500 NLH Mystery Bounty (Sunday June 23)
- Event #11 – $500 NLH Mystery Bounty
- Date: Sunday, June 23
- Start time: 3:30 PM (PST), 6:30 PM (EST)
- Where: WSOP Online (including WSOP NV, WSOP NJ and WSOP MI)
- Guarantee: $1,000,000
- Top bounty: $100,000
Of the three tournaments on the docket, Event #11 – $500 Mystery Bounty on July 23, is the one not to miss. Not only does this tournament come with a $1,000,000 promise, but it will play out in the popular Mystery Bounty format that never fails to deliver.
The top bounty that one lucky player will take home is $100,000, which is a great return on the $500 buy-in. The other two major bounties are $40,000 and three $20,000 virtual envelopes, so there should be a fair few players pocketing big cash long before the final table.
Like in all WSOP Online bracelet events, players will be allowed three reentries. The starting stack is 200 big blinds, and levels last 15 minutes, so there will be plenty of play. Late registration will remain open for 260 minutes, while Mystery Bounties will kick in at Level 19.
The tournament will need over 2,220 players to beat the guarantee, and this is very likely to happen. So far, the biggest prize pool we’ve seen in online bracelet events was just over $1.1 million, but Event #11 will likely break that record.
WSOP PA: $500 NLH Mystery Bounty (Sunday June 23)
- Event #4 – $500 NLH Mystery Bounty
- Date: Sunday, June 23
- Start time: 6:30 PM (EST)
- Where: WSOP PA
- Guarantee: $100,000
- Top bounty: $10,000
For players in Pennsylvania, if there is just one online bracelet event you were going to play this summer, it should probably be Event #4 taking place on Sunday, June 23.
This is the only of the seven events that comes with a guarantee, and that guarantee is set at $100,000. With a buy-in of $500, it offers great value for money and stands to be the largest prize pool we’ll see in PA this summer.
This is also a Mystery Bounty event, with the top bounty set at $10,000. Other big bounties in play will be $5,000 and $2,000, and the battle for bounties will commence at the start of Level 19.
Appropriately, the event will play very deep, with 300 big blinds to start and 15-minute levels. Players are allowed to re-enter up to three times for the first 270 minutes of play.
A Weekend Not to Miss
Whether you’re chasing after WSOP Online bracelets or not, this weekend offers some great value in terms of money on offer. The $1M Mystery Bounty should be one of the most exciting and fun tournaments on the entire schedule, and a shot at a $100,000 bounty for $500 simply sounds too good to pass.
