Tens of thousands headed to the online streets in search of WSOP glory, with 32,078 entries (including rebuys) recorded across the WSOP Online schedule.
The most attended tournament was Online Event #12: $500 No-Limit Hold’em Deepstack, which saw 2,961 entries. Tom Hall was the last player standing and collected the $176,920 up top along with his first bracelet.
The payout saw the Brit cross the $8 million mark in both live and online tournament earnings.
Over $22 Million Collected
The buy-ins for the bracelet events varied from $333 to $5,300. However, thirteen of the tournament buy-ins were under $1,000.
Across the online series, $22,747,888 was collected, but this is prior to the rake being taken out. From that figure, $2,329,386 was generated in rake, leaving $20,418,520 for the prize pools in which $3,505,498 was paid in first-place prizes.
Biggest Payout
Sam Soverel
The tournament that built the biggest prize pool on WSOP.com was Online Event #13: $5,300 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller Championship. Sam Soverel was the eventual winner of the unique event, which played out online until the final table.
The final nine players congregated at Horseshoe, Las Vegas, to play out the end stage of the tournament, which saw Soverel capture his second bracelet and the $393,516 first-place prize.
Also, a big winner from the online bracelet events was Jeremy Ausmus, who secured his sixth bracelet within the last two years. He came out on top in Online Event #8: $3,200 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller for $360,036 after he overcame a final table that included Chance Kornuth and 2021 WSOP Main Event champion Koray Aldemir.
Bunch of First-Time Bracelet Winners
Ian Matakis
While the likes of Soverel and Ausmus added to their bracelet collection from the online series, there were plenty of winners who were able to adorn their wrists with poker’s most-sought after prize.
WSOP Player of the Year frontrunner Ian Matakis was just one of those after he took down Online Event #2: $500 No-Limit Hold’em Bankroll Builder for $120,686.
The aforementioned Hall, Cody Bell, Danny Wong, Gary Belyalovsky, Harley Brooks, Joe Serock, Stanislav Barshak, Robert Como, Zachary Grech, Blaze Gaspari, Vitor Dzivielevski, Tom Marchese, Julien Sitbon and Christian Roberts were also other players to win their maiden WSOP bracelet.
