Welcome to PokerNews' coverage of the 2019 World Series of Poker Event #7: $400 WSOP.com ONLINE No-Limit Hold'em. The $400 Online Bracelet event features 15-minute blind levels and the $400 buy-in gives players 15,000 chips to play with. The tournament allows players to re-enter three times with each re-entry lasting only 30 seconds, so players will need to make sure they have enough funds in their WSOP.com account before the tournament starts if they plan on re-entering.
Late registration and the re-entry option will be open for the first 3 hours and 45 minutes of play. Tournament tickets are not usable for re-entry. This is a single day event meaning the entire tournament will be played out online and the winner will take home a WSOP Gold Bracelet.
Dating back to 2015 when the first $1,000 online tournament for WSOP gold was played, there have been more and more WSOP online events created each year. This marks the fourth consecutive year players are able to compete online for a WSOP gold bracelet!
The WSOP is awarding nine online bracelets which is an enormous leap from its birth in 2015 and is more than double from last year's four events. Similar to last year's first online event that featured a $365 buy-in, which set the record with 2,972 players, the 2019 WSOP Event #7 costs $400 to enter and is the lowest buy-in event on the WSOP schedule.
All of the online bracelet events have a start time of 3.30 p.m. local time and will play down until a champion is crowned. PokerNews will be here to provide you with updates throughout the day until there's a new WSOP bracelet winner.
