WSOP.com has solid numbers for a holiday weekend<\/span><\/h2>\n

The series opened up on July 4 weekend, producing large crowds and large cash payouts. The opening four bracelet event prize pools were just shy of $2 million<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The largest of the four events took place on Thursday. The opening event brought in $574,650<\/strong> with 1,277 entries<\/strong>. <\/span>All online bracelet events are available to players in the New Jersey<\/strong><\/a> and Nevada<\/strong><\/a> markets at WSOP.com<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Players don\u2019t have to live in the state, but must physically be located in New Jersey or Nevada. Here’s a look at the action from the first four events.<\/span><\/p>\n

Event 1: $500 NLHE BIG 500 Kickoff (July 1)<\/span><\/h2>\n

New Jersey\u2019s Jose \u201cDeposit\u201d Noboa<\/strong> took home the first bracelet of the summer. He defeated Christopher \u201cbasile28\u201d Basile heads-up on Thursday night for the title.<\/span><\/p>\n

A resident of North Bergen, New Jersey, Noboa took home $105,161<\/strong> after 12 hours<\/strong> at the felt on opening night.\u00a0<\/span>Noboa seems to have luck in opening events. In the 2020 opening WSOP.com event, he finished in 21st<\/strong> for $3,936<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before Thursday\u2019s tournament, Noboa had $39,341<\/strong> in lifetime WSOP cashes. This was his first six-figure score.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other final table notables included Shannon \u201cAulophobia\u201d Shorr<\/strong> and Michael \u201cParxBigStax\u201d Marder<\/strong>.\u00a0BigStax spoke with USPoker about his unfortunate run at the final table.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cDisappointing of course to immediately get coolered the second hand of the final table,\u201d says Marder, a poker grinder from Sewell, New Jersey. \u201cBut you can\u2019t knock the opportunity to chill at home on the couch playing for six figures and a bracelet.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Event 2: $600 NLHE Monster Stack (July 2)<\/span><\/h2>\n

Manig \u201cOhio77\u201d Loeser<\/strong> finally sealed the deal and won his first bracelet. Previously he’s finished second twice and third three times in bracelet events.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Friday night, he outlasted 1,038<\/strong> players to take in $104,313<\/strong> and a bracelet. Even though this was his first bracelet, Loeser is a seasoned veteran with over $11 million<\/strong> in lifetime tournament winnings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Twitch streamer Justin \u201cLappyPoker\u201d Lapka<\/strong> also found some success in the event, finishing sixth for $17,488.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kathy \u201cLuckygal\u201d Liebert<\/strong> was among other recognizable names that made a deep run. She finished just out of the final table, coming in 12th for $5,885<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Event 3: $500 NLHE Turbo Deepstack (July 3)<\/span><\/h2>\n

In just six hours, Donnell \u201cSpreezy52\u201d Dais<\/strong> scored his first bracelet and $90,801<\/strong> in this fast-moving tournament. Dais topped tournament regular Mike \u201cSammyTwizz\u201d Azzaro<\/strong> heads-up for the championship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The event saw 950 entries<\/strong> and a prize pool total of $427,500. Phil \u201cLumestackin\u201d Hellmuth<\/strong>, Jamie \u201cDanBilzerian\u201d Kerstetter, Jeff \u201cNedrudRelyt\u201d Madsen ,and Ryan \u201cjoeyisamush\u201d Depaulo all cashed in the event as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hellmuth is playing the series from the Aria in Las Vegas and also played in the World Poker Tour<\/strong> Venetian event over the weekend as well. He took some time to offer players some interesting practical advice when playing so much online poker<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

My next article: how to take a shower in the middle of a @WSOP<\/a> Online poker tourney (just did it!). I bet online pros have an ideal system for this! It helps to have someone stalling at your table AND to time it for the 5 min hourly break, any advice from the online young guns? https:\/\/t.co\/MHcoREBGCC<\/a><\/p>\n

Event 4: $500 NLHE Super Turbo (July 4)<\/span><\/h2>\n

Jeffery “Steelvikes7” Hoop<\/strong> took down the Super Turbo bracelet event on Sunday. This becomes Hoop\u2019s first bracelet and he also scored $73,861<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This was the smallest event so far, but may have been expected with most Americans celebrating the holiday. The event still produced 850 entries<\/strong> and generated a $382,500<\/strong> prize pool.<\/span><\/p>\n

At just under six hours, the Super Turbo tournament was also the shortest event played so far in the series.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other notable final table qualifiers included regulars Vineet \u201cbrownmagic\u201d Pahuja, Jonathan \u201cArt.Vandelay\u201d Dokler<\/strong>, and Ryan \u201csYchoSiD\u201d Hohner<\/strong>, who finished runner-up for $45,671.<\/span><\/p>\n
