A WSOP Online Bracelet is up For Grabs in Event #68: $500 Deepstack No-Limit Hold'em
The 2020 GGPoker World Series of Poker Online Bracelet Events continue with another Deepstack tournament, a format that has proven to be very popular throughout the festival on the GGNetwork thus far. Event #68: $500 Deepstack No-Limit Hold'em will get underway at 12 p.m. noon GMT (2 p.m. CET) and is certain to attract poker enthusiasts from all over the world in the hunt for poker's most-coveted prize.
All levels until the final table will last 15 minutes each and the players will start with 40,000 in chips, which represents 200 big blinds in the first level at blinds of 100-200 with a running ante of 25. More than 200 hopefuls are already signed up one hour prior the start including the likes of Pete Chen, Sergey Rybachenko, and the online streamers Yu Chung "WNCouple" Chang, Andre "bluffpatrol_dre" Ebert and Torsten "jektiss" Brinkmann.
The late registration will be open for four hours in total and during that period, all players can re-enter a maximum of two times if they shall run out of chips entirely. Once the registration is closed, the prize pool information will be released. Bubble protection is active for all the players who register before the start of the event.
This tournament is the 8th event of the festival which counts for the Asia Time Zone Events leaderboard, which is currently led by Natural8 player Luis "Xapilskinha" Assunao Garla, who took down Event #55: HK$8,000 No Limit Hold'em Asia Championship two weeks ago. The winner of the leaderboard will take home an unique Pure Gold Dragon trophy.
