Two more bracelets were handed as part of the Nevada and New Jersey slate of 2022 World Series of Poker Online events this week, with both winners being first-time champions at the series. Sunday, June 26 played host to the WSOP Online $600 buy-in no-limit hold’em deepstack championship. In the end, William ‘swaggyb’ Corvino of Staten Island, New York overcame a field of 1,248 entries to secure the aforementioned hardware and the top prize of $149,319.
This was the largest score of Corvino’s career, surpassing the $89,784 he secured as the runner-up finisher in a $1,100 buy-in event during the 2017 Big Stax series at Parx Casino in Pennsylvania. He now has nearly $785,000 in recorded tournament earnings to his name.
