WSOP Day #37 Review: Low Turnout for First Online Bracelet Event

Lee Davy brings you a round up of the 37th day of action at the 45th Annual World Series of Poker, including news on the first online poker bracelet in World Series of Poker history and much more.

I didn’t like the idea when it was first announced, and I like it even less now I have seen the numbers. The first ever-online poker bracelet to be offered by the World Series of Poker (WSOP) attracted only 905 players. Let’s hope that the officials stick an apple in it, thrust a spit into his ass and send it out to roast.

It took nine hours for the field to be whittled down from 905 to a final table of six. The total prize pool was $859,750, and the winner will receive $197,743. 100 players received a minimum of $1,805, and the final six will return to the Rio to play the final table live on the 4th July.

I would love to give you an insight on whom I believe will win this thing, but as I don’t have a clue who any of the finalists are, I can’t.
