WSOP Winter Online Circuit
The ambitious cooperation between GGPoker and the World Series of Poker was once again a thorough success and just one of the 18 tournaments experienced a minor overlay. A total of 17 WSOP Circuit rings have been awarded and among the notable champions were Joaquin Melogno, Christian Jeppsson, Anson [email protected] Tsang, Niklas Astedt, Yuri Dzivielevski, Michael Addamo, and Samuli BeastsSag A Sipila.
However, the $1,700 Main Event will shatter all prize pools and top prizes as all Day 1 survivors will return to their seats in one hour from now to race towards the money. Below are all winners of the festival and a link to the respective live coverage.
$18,549
Sipila had a big stack early on in the day, but the incredibly swingy nature of the early stages saw stacks fluctuate wildly. Players were seen topping the chip counts one minute only to be multiple bullets deep moments later. Several used up three or even the max of four shells.
In the end, those reentries would make up more than 40% of the prize pool which pushed just shy of $1 million to far surpass the $500K guarantee.
Things didn t really settle even after the money bubble, as the fairly flat payouts encourage everyone to gamble for a big stack to take to the final table. Notables like Niklas Astedt, recent PLO ring winner Anson [email protected] Tsang, Jens Kyllonen, Andras Nemeth and George Wolff were just some of those who blasted their way into the money but fell a bit short of the final table.
