Ready, Set, Go! The Hunt For a Bracelet Starts With Event #1 at 3 PM
The wait is officially over as the 2020 Online World Series of Poker is set to get underway at 3:00 p.m. PDT with Event #1: $500 No-Limit Hold'em Kick-Off.
This is the first of 85 bracelet events being held on WSOP.com (31 events – one each day for the month of July) and GG Poker ( holding the remaining 54 events).
The former client will cater to players in Nevada and New Jersey (players in Delaware are NOT able to participate), while the latter will serve the international base.
How To Play
The first step in getting set up to play on WSOP.com is to download the client. You can do so for both mobile (Android and iOS) and desktop (Windows 7 or higher and Mac OS X 10.6.8).
To get the correct version of the client, use the links below:
Event #1 Outlook
The first Online Bracelet event features 15-minute blind levels and the $500 buy-in gives players 15,000 chips to play with. The tournament allows players to re-enter two times with each re-entry lasting only 30 seconds, so players will need to make sure they have enough funds in their WSOP.com account before the tournament starts if they plan on re-entering.
Late registration and the re-entry option will be open for the first 3 hours and 45 minutes of play. Tournament tickets are not usable for re-entry. This is a single day event meaning the entire tournament will be played out online and the winner will take home a WSOP Gold Bracelet.
WSOP.com Bracelet Event Schedule
As previously mentioned, the online bracelet schedule for the Summer Online WSOP is comprised of 31 events running daily throughout July. THEY ARE ALL ONE-DAY EVENTS.
The scheduled WSOP.com events are available in hold'em and Omaha formats. Popular live staples like the BIG 50, MonsterStack and Senior's Event have been moved online.
The marquee tournament is $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Championship, which takes place on Friday, July 31. All events will kick off at 3 p.m. PDT.
Satellites are running now for as little $1.

Idaho's All-Time Money Leader Looking For 3rd Gold Bracelet
Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
Do you know who Idaho’s all-time tournament money leader is with just shy of $6 million in lifetime earnings? It’s longtime poker pro Kevin MacPhee, who happens to be a two-time World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner.
He captured both his bracelets back in 2015, albeit on different sides of the Atlantic Ocean. First, he won the 2015 WSOP Event #56: $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em Turbo in Las Vegas for $490,800, and four months later followed it up by winning the WSOP Europe Main Event in Germany for €883,000 ($1,001,576).
Prior to those wins, MacPhee had made a name for himself on the European Poker Tour (EPT). In 2010, he won the EPT Berlin for a career-high $1,356,428, and four years later finished runner-up in the EPT London Main Event for $495,861.
MacPhee, who was named the EPT Player’s Choice Award winner in 2010, is in action today under the screenname “ImaLuckSac.” He has 51 WSOP-related cashes dating back to 2008 totaling $2,262,406.
