The World Series of Poker<\/strong><\/a> is now underway at Bally\u2019s\/Paris in Las Vegas<\/strong><\/a> with action running through July 21. The annual festival brings in players from around the world and with international travel restrictions lifted, organizers are expecting the largest series in history.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first week has seen some big names rise to the top and some players from outside the US scoring nice finishes. That has included the first two online poker<\/strong><\/a> bracelet events seeing players from Germany and Hungary find the winner\u2019s circle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quick look at some international players finding some deep runs in Las Vegas.<\/span><\/p>\n

The online bracelet schedule began on Sunday with two opening events both won by European players. <\/span>Hungary\u2019s Norbert “Balkan500” Szecsi<\/strong><\/span> scored the title in Online Event 1: $5,300 High Roller Freezeout.<\/span><\/p>\n

That event brought in 218 entries for a $1.1 million<\/strong> prize pool and <\/span>Szecsi took $288,850<\/strong> for the win. This became his third WSOP bracelet after winning an event in 2013 and WSOP Europe tournament in 2018. He now has more than $3.8 million in live tournament winnings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting to the title didn\u2019t come easy. He faced World Poker Tour<\/strong> commentator and two-time bracelet winner Tony Dunst<\/strong> in heads-up play. Greg Merson, winner of the 2012 Main Event, finished third for $96,465 with Phil Galfond getting sixth for $52,320.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Online Event 2: BIG $500, Germany\u2019s<\/a> Manig “Ohio77” Loeser<\/strong> took the top spot for $127,153<\/strong>. The tournament brought in 1,213 entries for a $799,200 prize pool.<\/span><\/p>\n

This was Loeser\u2019s second bracelet after winning the $600 Monster Stack<\/strong> in 2021 for $104,313. He now has more than $11.4 million<\/strong> in live tournament winnings. It looks to have been a nice celebration after the win.<\/span><\/p>\n
