Midway Through the WSOP with PokerGO

The World Series of Poker is halfway through the schedule and through 37 events attendance has picked up slightly. The WSOP awarded over $81 million so far with 61,616 overall entrants from 98 countries with a schedule of events live streamed exclusively on PokerGO.

“Players continue to respond favorably to our diverse offerings and industry-leading prize pools,” said Ty Stewart, WSOP executive director. “We believe we’ve found the right mix of price points and game variants to make a trip the Rio in Las Vegas a must annually for anyone who loves the game of poker. There’s still plenty of time this year too, as we still have a month of World Series of Poker play remaining with bracelet event buy-ins as low as $365.”

All trends and schedule expectations predict that this WSOP will be the largest in terms of participants and prize pools in the WSOP’s history.

According to the WSOP, players from 78 different countries have cashed in events with the bracelet events paying 15% of the field. Through the first 37 events 24,281 unique players played in bracelet events.

The WSOP kicked off on PokerGO with the $111,111 High Roller for One Drop that Doug Polk took down for his third career bracelet and $3.6 million. Three straight days of action, including the final table, are available in the archives.
