Who Will Win the Bracelet in Event #38: $600 Monster Stack No Limit Hold'em 6-Handed?
The 2020 GGPoker World Series of Poker Online Bracelet Events will determine another champion ahead of the second Super Sunday of the festival on the GGNetwork. A coveted WSOP gold bracelet will be up for grabs in Event #38: $600 Monster Stack No Limit Hold'em 6-Handed and 90 minutes prior to the start at 12 p.m. GMT (2 p.m. CET), some 180 players were already signed up.
It is also the first event in which players can start earning points towards the asian-friendly Dragon Asia Player of the Series leaderboard and comes with a late afternoon start for most Asian countries. Poker enthusiasts from Central Europe have just about to finished their lunch before heading to the virtual tables whereas Brazilians may finish their breakfast first before taking advantage of the late registration, which lasts three and a half hours.
The tournament is played in a six-max format which will ensure plenty of action at all times and each participant receives 50,000 in chips with a level duration of 15 minutes from start to finish. Since this tournament features a buy-in of fewer than $1,000, the bubble protection is available to all those that registered before the start. During the late registration period, players can re-enter a maximum of two times in order to take another shot at glory if they run out of chips early on.
Once nine players remain, the final table will be set and all real names of the contenders for the WSOP bracelet will be revealed. The tournament will play down to a winner today and you can follow all the action right here on PokerNews.
