Event #3: $3,200 No Limit Hold'em High Roller which was supposed to be the third event of the WSOP.com Pennsylvania Online Bracelet Series ended up as the closing event instead. In the end, Shankar "DerekHarper" Pillai was able to earn his third career WSOP Gold Bracelet and $66,641 by overcoming a field of 86 entrants (66 players, 20 rebuys), including denying Brandon "UpOnly" Hall his first WSOP Bracelet in heads-up play.

Pillar's list of poker accomplishments is lengthy and notable, and this win brings his total reported live tournament earnings to over two-million dollars. His top cash was a $979,138 third place finish in the 2020 GGPoker WSOP Bracelet Series Event #70: $25,000 No Limit Hold'em Poker Players Championship, while his two bracelets came in 2007's WSOP Event #28: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em and WSOP's Event #81: $1,500 50th Annual Bracelet Winners Only No-Limit Hold'em. He also owns two WSOP circuit rings, but his third WSOP Bracelet puts him in elite company with luminaries such as Barry Greenstein, David "Chip" Reese, and Antonio Esfandiari.

For this high buy-in event, players will receive 25,000 in tournament chips, and blinds will begin at 25/50.
