As the World Series of Poker<\/b><\/a> released its summer schedule sporadically over the last few weeks, one question remained. How many online poker<\/a> events<\/b> could players expect?<\/p>\n

That all changed on Thursday with the release of a schedule of 14 WSOP.com online gold bracelet <\/b>events. That includes new price points and three freezeout events when events get underway at the Rio<\/b> in Las Vegas<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe the 2020 offering of online gold bracelet events features our best schedule yet,\u201d WSOP.com director of online poker Danielle Barille<\/b> said in a news release.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year we offer a consistent schedule of Sunday events every week of the WSOP, plus a special selection of eight events from June 28 to July 5<\/b> to coincide with the biggest week of the live WSOP when most players are in town to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

The announcement allows players in New Jersey<\/b><\/a> and Nevada<\/b><\/a> a shot at some big money and a gold bracelet. This year\u2019s slate of events is an increase from only nine events in 2019.<\/p>\n

The WSOP<\/a> noted that with new states regulating and set to open up in the US in the next couple of years, \u201cthe WSOP is bolstering its online offerings in 2020 to help elevate this popular variant of poker.\u201d<\/p>\n

The WSOP is set to run from May 26 to July 15<\/b> this summer with online events scheduled from May 31 to July 12<\/b>. That includes a stretch of eight events over eight consecutive days from June 28 to July 5<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Three-time bracelet winner Upeshka De Silva<\/b> added an online bracelet to his trophy case in 2019. He won the $600 No Limit Hold\u2019em Bounty<\/b> for $98,263<\/b>. He\u2019s excited to see even more opportunities to multi-table a live event and battle it out online.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like them and will be playing all of them,\u201d he told USPoker<\/i>. \u201cWinning one was great. The true landscape of poker should include live and online. I\u2019m so glad online events are well represented.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
