Mario Navarro Pockets Biggest GGPoker WSOP Online Score of the Week
Three more players have become World Series of Poker (WSOP) Online bracelet winners on GGPoker, with Spain's Mario Navarro picking up the biggest score of the week so far. Navarro took down Event #22: $1,050 WSOP GGMasters HR Freezeout NLH for a career best $288,507 payday, narrowly beating his former all time cash of $261,430, from when he finished in 30th place at the 2019 WSOP Main Event.
Jose Castillo and "Winner51" were also among this week's bracelet winners and picked up six-figure scores, following their victories in Event #23: $400 PLOSSUS Bounty and Event #24: $2,100 Bounty NLH Championship respectively.
Super Mario Navarro Secures First Bracelet Win
The $1,050 WSOP GGMasters HR Freezeout saw a huge turnout as 2,372 players headed to the virtual felt with the hopes of achieving gold bracelet glory. Those entries created another seven-figure prize pool, a common theme from this batch of WSOP Online tournaments, with the final count being confirmed at $2,372,000.
A host of notable names fell in the early stages with the likes of Elio Fox, Michael Gathy and GGPoker Team Russia Ambassador Anatoly Filatov found themselves on the wrong side of the rail.
Victor "92 Gabigol" Pedote Dos Santos was just able to make the money and secured the $1,798 min-cash following the elimination of "Orion@", which burst the money bubble. Dos Santos was joined by 394 other players in making the paid places.
GGPoker's Kevin Martin (205th - $2,663), Ole Schemion (102nd - $3,945) and Event #9: $525 Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha champion Ami Barer (50th - $5,843) were just some of the big names to see a return on their investment.
Day 1 of the tournament ended when the final table was determined and when the players returned, Navarro was the last player standing. He overcame Nenad "O O L" Djukic in heads-up play and a final table that featured crushers like Francois "RelaAax" Pirault, Yibo "Danaibang" Song and Vladas "Vladiator13" Tamasauskas.

One More WSOP Online Bracelet for Spain
Another bracelet would then head to the Mediterranean as the aforementioned Castillo topped the 3,850 entry field in the PLOSSUS event.

Castillo earned the $54,500 first-place prize but saw his final total cash skyrocket to $144,286 after he took home a huge $89,786 in bounties.
The top 400 players would lock up the $702 min-cash and GGPoker OmahaSquad member Fernando "JNandez87" Habegger was one of the players who squeaked their way into the money. He ended up finishing in 338th place and took home the min-cash and $300 in bounties.
