Due to television / streaming setup in the Thunderdome, the final two tables will be played in Amazon Purple 484 and 485 before moving to one of the secondary feature tables.
2021 World Series of Poker
The 2021 World Series of Poker is in full swing, and PokerGO is live streaming many of the events.
PokerGO has partnered with CBS Sports Network to provide WSOP coverage with the likes of Lon McEachern, Norman Chad, and Jamie Kerstetter returning to the WSOP broadcast booth this year, along with PokerNews Podcast co-host Jeff Platt from time to time.
CBS Sports Network will televise 16 pre-produced and edited episodes of the 2021 World Series of Poker Main Event, after striking a multi-year deal earlier this year. This deal sees coverage of the WSOP Main Event return to its original broadcast partner after featuring on CBS Sports Spectacular in the mid-1970s.
All 16 episodes will be televised following the conclusion of the tournament.
PokerGO will provide live streaming duties of the World Championship event starting on Day 1A (November 4) until the end on November 17, except Day 1B (November 5).
Away from the Main Event, there will be additional coverage of more than two dozen tournaments thru November 23, 2021. They include the $50,000 Poker Players Championship and the $250,000 Super High Roller.
Here's a look at the remaining PokerGO live-stream schedule:
Date | Event |
---|---|
Friday, November 5 | Event #60: $50,000 Poker Players Championship |
Thursday, November 19 | Event #79: $1,979 Poker Hall of Fame Bounty |

The final eight players return at 2:00 p.m. local time Monday to play for the first-place prize of $240,341, the WSOP gold bracelet, and the title of Event #57: $10,000 2-7 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw champion.
Danny Wong (1,755,000) enters the day as the favorite after a dominant performance Sunday that saw him plow through the field and build a near 600,000 chip lead over his closest competitor, three-time bracelet winner Brian Yoon (1,170,000).
Wong's result in this event marks his 74th career WSOP cash, but despite that many cashes, and over $1.5M in career WSOP earnings, Wong is still looking for an elusive first-ever WSOP bracelet.
Also standing in Wong’s way will be Wil Wilkinson (945,000), whose most recent WSOP results came back in 2016 which included a 5th place finish in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship. A pair of bracelet winners are also in the hunt for the title, though Joao Vieira (290,000), and Brandon Shack-Harris (275,000) enter the day with two of the shortest stacks in play.
