With players only allowed to ante up on WSOP.com if they were located in Nevada or New Jersey, the likes of Phil Helmuth had to travel specifically for the online MTT.
However, that didn’t seem to matter as the opening session attracted 705 players. That was more than international leg. Moreover, it broke the record for largest online tournament in the regulated US market.
