The 2022 World Series of Poker Online has been running for more than a fortnight now, with 13 bracelets awarded so far on GGpoker, the international online partner of the WSOP. There will be 33 bracelets in total awarded on that site in 22, with another 33 scheduled for WSOP.com for players in Nevada and New Jersey.
More than $34 million in prize money has already been paid out through the 13 completed events with reported results, with 72,569 total entries made so far.
