WSOP

The 2020 World Series of Poker has been postponed until later this year but you still have a chance, or should that be 31 chances, to secure poker��s most sought after piece of jewellery from the U.S.

WSOP has created an action-packed schedule with 31 WSOP bracelet events running from July 1 through to July 31. The first event of this superb series is the No-Limit Hold��em Kick-Off, a $500 buy-in tournament that will see several hundred hopefuls buy in and fight it out for the first online bracelet of the summer.

Cards are in the air from 3:00 PDT on July 1 and the tournament crowns its champion in a single day. Everyone sits down with 15,000 chips and plays to a blinds structure starting at 25/50 and increased every 15 minutes. Late registration is open for 225 minutes and you can re-enter up to two times if you dust off your stack while late registration is available.

This event doesn��t have a guaranteed prize pool, in keeping with the WSOP tradition, but should still be massive if previous, similarly-sized events are anything to go by.

That sum and a WSOP bracelet went to Yong ��LuckySpewy1�� Kwon who bested a star-studded final table that was the home to such luminaries as Dan ��MeatJustice�� O��Brien and the legendary Phil ��lumestackin�� Hellmuth.
