The World Series of Poker has drawn to a close and as well as the in-person tournaments, there was a slate of online bracelet contests. The WSOP Online 2021 events were highly successful – with over $8 million awarded in prizes , and not a Covid controversy in sight.
The companion series ran across the entire WSOP network, with 10 bracelets up for grabs in Michigan and New Jersey , whilst Pennsylvania — where WSOP only went live on July 12 — had to make do with just the one event.
The bracelet tournaments took place every Sunday while the live festival was running, and the online series was an unqualified triumph with each contest generating well over six figures in prize money. The best supported event was, unsurprisingly, the cheapest to enter. The $400 NLH Ultra Deepstack (Event #3) saw 1,357 total entries combining for a total of $488,520.

The $777 buy-in was just 10% of its High Roller counterpart but generating close to half the prize pool — attracting 1122 entries, for a total of $785,400 in prizes.
