GGPoker WSOP Online Main Event SMASHES $20M Guarantee; Three More Bracelets Dished Out
There was plenty more World Series of Poker (WSOP) Online action over the weekend on GGPoker which saw Days 1f and 1g of the Main Event play out while three more bracelets were awarded on the platform.
Following the two starting flights for the Main Event, the $20 million guarantee was finally surpassed. Day 1h was due to be the final Day 1 flight however, a Last Chance leg has been added to give players one more go at WSOP glory. That plays out at 1:30 p.m. UTC on Monday, September 21 before Day 2 gets underway at 6:30 p.m. UTC on the same day.
Joni Jouhkimainen and Claas Segebrecht were also among the trio of this weekend's bracelet winners after the duo took down Event #30: $840 6-Handed Bounty No-Limit Hold'em and Event #31: $1,050 Beat the Pros Bounty Freezeout respectively.
Hafner and Puetz Top WSOP Online Main Event End of Day 1g Counts
Another $2,251,500 was added to the GGPoker WSOP Online Main Event prize pool thanks to the 474 entries in Day 1g. The starting flight saw saw Lukas "rustyhusky" Hafner and Christopher Puetz top the end of day chip counts.
Notable names such as Yiannis "GreekFreaker" Liperis and Joseph Cheong also had fruitful sessions, with both players bagging and tagging a top ten stack. Ole Schemion, Arthur Conan and Chris Hunichen were also among the 73 Day 1g qualifiers.
High stakes crushers Dan Smith, David Peters and Andras Nemeth were just some the well known players to end up on the wrong side of the rail.

Poker Bunny Bags Big in Day 1f of WSOP Online Main Event
In what was due to be the final Main Event starting flight, Day 1h garnered a further 686 entries to bring the overall total to 4,419. Of those 686 entries, another 110 players booked their seat for Day 2 after surviving the first 15 levels of play. This now sees 676 players in today's Day 2, with that number guaranteed to rise after today's final Day 1.
A huge $3,258,500 was added to prize pool following Day 1h, and brought the current prize pool to $20,990,250, meaning the Main Event eclipsed its ambitious $20 million guarantee. The final total will be confirmed once the Last Chance flight concludes but it will almost certainly fall short of the record-breaking prize pool from 2020 ($27,559,500).
Canada's Jonah Silverstein ended the day on top of the chip counts and was joined by Darlings Prague, Ramiro Petrone, "P1zzAdreAmer" and Tom "Tom_Poker_NL" Talboom as the only other players to finish with seven-figure stacks.
Paulina "Poker Bunny" Loeliger, who operates under the "NuttedOn587" alias also bagged big, and finished with a stack of 881,364.

A stand out name who is yet to advance to Day 2 of the Main Event is Wiktor Malinowski. The online poker legend fired bullets in both Day 1g and Day 1h but failed to navigate the first hurdle. Malinowski will likely feature in today's recently added last chance flight.
