Event Info
Event #3: $3,200 No Limit Hold'em High Roller which was supposed to be the third event of the WSOP.com Pennsylvania Online Bracelet Series ended up as the closing event instead. In the end, Shankar "DerekHarper" Pillai was able to earn his third career WSOP Gold Bracelet and $66,641 by overcoming a field of 86 entrants (66 players, 20 rebuys), including denying Brandon "UpOnly" Hall his first WSOP Bracelet in heads-up play.
Pillar's list of poker accomplishments is lengthy and notable, and this win brings his total reported live tournament earnings to over two-million dollars. His top cash was a $979,138 third place finish in the 2020 GGPoker WSOP Bracelet Series Event #70: $25,000 No Limit Hold'em Poker Players Championship, while his two bracelets came in 2007's WSOP Event #28: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em and WSOP's Event #81: $1,500 50th Annual Bracelet Winners Only No-Limit Hold'em. He also owns two WSOP circuit rings, but his third WSOP Bracelet puts him in elite company with luminaries such as Barry Greenstein, David "Chip" Reese, and Antonio Esfandiari.

It's time for the high rollers of the Pennsylvania poker scene to take center stage, as Event #3: $3,200 No Limit Hold'em High Roller kicks off at 5:30 p.m. EST with the highest buy-in of the WSOP.com Pennsylvania Online Bracelet Series.
For this high buy-in event, players will receive 25,000 in tournament chips, and blinds will begin at 25/50. Unlike other tournaments in the series, this tournament has antes in play from the beginning, and also features 20-minute levels throughout, giving entrants a ton of play for the duration of the tournament.
Players may late register or re-enter this tournament all the way until 9:25 EST, and players may re-enter up to two times during this period. This is a one-day event, meaning play will continue until a winner is crowned, who will earn a coveted WSOP Gold Bracelet in addition to the healthy top prize.
Andrew "LoveToLose" Porter and Dean "TheRealYoshi" Morrow have already signed up for the high stakes action, and we expect many more players to get in on the action during the extended registration period.
PokerNews will be on hand from start to finish providing live coverage, chip counts, and more, so stay tuned as the third-ever WSOP.com Pennsylvania bracelet will be awarded tonight!
