Two more major WSOP bracelets were won as the World Series, taking place online for the first time this summer, continues to outreach its guarantees and provide players of all levels with the opportunity to put their names down in poker history.
Event #7
Tuesday’s WSOP event saw Joon Kim bring home the title, winning $103,127 in the process, the top prize of a mammoth $731,660 prizepool. With 989 players, the $800-entry No Limit Hold’em Knockout Deepstack event also saw Kim amass $3,000 in bounty winnings as he won his first-ever WSOP bracelet.
Plenty of big names turned out for the event, and some of the players who got close to the final table without reaching that hallowed felt included Brian Altman (86th for $1,121), Matt Stout (80th for $1,228), Jared Jaffee (56th for $1,495) and Ryan Riess ‘The Beast’ with the former WSOP Main Event winner cashing in 33rd place for $2,403.
