Another Big Week at WSOP Online, Rampage Makes the High Roller FT

We are now officially half way through the WSOP Online bracelets schedule, with 15 of 30 events in the rearview mirror. Two of these events are still not over, though, as they’ll find their respective winners at live final tables taking place this month in Las Vegas.

Both of these incomplete events are high rollers, and the second, more expensive one, took place last week. Despite its hefty asking price of $5,300, online Event #14 attracted 275 entries, creating a prize pool of almost $1.4 million.

The other two WSOP online bracelet events in the NJ/MI/NV market were the $1,000 freezeout and $500 Deepstack, while WSOP PA hosted its fifth bracelet event in the $600 Monster Stack.

Rampage Makes a Run at It in the High Roller

The $5,300 High Roller was the highlight of the last week’s online action. The tournament attracted a total of 275 entries, generating a prize pool of $1,375,000, and, as expected, some big names were in the mix.

As scheduled, the event played down to the final table of eight players who’ll be coming back to play to the winner in the live setting in two weeks’ time. Among those eight is the WPT Global ambassador Ethan ‘Rampage’ Yau, playing under the alias ‘619booyaka.’

Another well-known name to make it to the final table is Shaun Deeb, whose WSOP Online moniker is ‘TimDuckworth.’

The action will be streamed live, so all fans will get to see the action as it plays out. All remaining eight are guaranteed a payday of at least $30,000, while the winner will pick up $278,712.

One More Seven-Figure Prize Pool in the Books

With the buy-in of $5k, it was no surprise to see the High Roller event break the seven-figure prize pool margin. However, the $500 Event #15 was certainly a nice surprise, as this deep stack tournament attracted a total of 2,435 entries for the prize pool of $1,095,750.

After over 13 hours of play, ‘*Panoramic*’ took home the spoils in the form of a WSOP bracelet and a cash prize of $134,887.

Earlier in the week, Event #13 attracted 824 players and created a prize pool of $741,000. This may seem like a small number, but this was actually the only freezeout event on the schedule, meaning players were not allowed to reenter, so it was actually a pretty good turnout. In the end, Charlie Dawson ran away with the title and $114,800 for his efforts.

Over at WSOP PA, the $600 Monster Stack event was the biggest of the online series thus far in terms of the prize pool. A total of 202 entries created the prize pool of $109,080. The eventual winner, ‘Urbn072,’ picked up $23,157 after almost ten hours of play.

Another Week of Big Guarantees Ahead

The upcoming week will bring plenty of exciting action on the online felt, with five events on offer at WSOP Online, and two of them coming in with guarantees of $500,000 and $1,000,000, respectively.

Kicking things off is Event #16, $777 Lucky 7’s tournament on July 2, which is just a regular one-day event.

Friday, July 5, will see the first of four starting flights for t*he $400 Colossus*. There are three more Day 1 flights in the cards for this tournament, with Day 2 playing down to the winner on Sunday.

On that same day, July 5, players will have the opportunity to get involved with the $555 PLO Mystery Bounty event that comes with a massive guarantee of $500,000 and the top bounty of $50,000.

Saturday, July 6, is reserved for Event #18, the $600 Deepstack Championship. With the 30,000 starting stack and 15-minute levels, this tournament promises plenty of play.

Sunday will be the culmination of the WSOP Online bracelets week, with another $1,000,000 GTD Mystery Bounty. Unlike the previous one, this event comes with a buy-in of $1,000, but we still expect players to turn up in numbers and compete for a share of the big prize pool and attractive bounties, including the main one of $100,000.

Pennsylvania online poker players will have the cheapest shot at the bracelet this year, as the $333 Triple Treys event takes place at WSOP PA on Sunday.

  • July 2: WSOP Online — Event #16 — $777 NL Hold’em
  • July 5: WSOP Online — Event #17 — $555 PLO Mystery Bounty ($500k GTD)
  • July 6: WSOP Online — Event #18 — $600 NL Hold’em Deepstack Championship
  • July 6 WSOP Online — Event #20 — $400 Colossus (Four starting flights)
