The live 2020 World Series of Poker may be on ice for the moment, but a long summer of online bracelet events lies ahead. A total of 85 bracelets will be awarded starting July 1 (the day the 2020 WSOP Main Event was originally supposed to start) and running through early September.

While the live WSOP has been postponed and targeted for this fall due to the COVID-19 pandemic, poker enthusiasts have been clamoring for the online portion of the schedule to be released. The wait ended over the weekend, as the schedule leaked for the 2020 Summer Online World Series of Poker on WSOP.com.

An official press release followed on Monday, but the leak was initially picked up by Joseph Cheong and Chris Moorman, with the former taking it to Twitter.

The WSOP's presser further expanded on the 31 planned events for WSOP.com with the announcement of another 54 to take place on newly minted partner GGPoker.

“It wouldn’t be Summer without WSOP,” said Ty Stewart, executive director of the WSOP. “While we are thrilled to be reopening our venues and optimistic about future offline events, we couldn’t be more excited about deepening our relationship with GGPoker and watching some history unfold online this summer.”

Official Gold Bracelet Event Every Day in July

The online bracelet schedule for the Summer Online WSOP contains a whopping 31 events, running daily throughout July. In addition to the daily bracelet up for grabs, players can also participate in a $100,000 Online Bracelet Series Leaderboard, where points can be earned for additional cash prizes.

It's unknown at this time whether the events will be finished in one day or extend to a second day.

The scheduled WSOP.com events are available in hold'em and Omaha formats. Popular live staples like the BIG 50, MonsterStack and Senior's Event have been moved online.

The marquee tournament is $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Championship, which takes place on Friday, July 31. All events will kick off at 3 p.m. PDT.

Satellites are running for as little $1. Players need to be physically present in either the states of Nevada or New Jersey to be able to participate on the WSOP.com client, which means players in Delaware will not be able to participate.

GGPoker to Carry Additional Bracelet Events

If 31 online bracelets wasn't enough, another 54 will be awarded on GGPoker to make for 85 total.

While the schedule for said events hasn't been initially made available, they'll run from July 19 through Sept. 6, meaning there will be some overlap with the WSOP.com series. The WSOP did promise that 'buy-in levels and formats that cater to a wide range of players' will be on tap at GGPoker.

The announcement of online bracelet events on GG comes as little surprise after the two companies wrapped up an online WSOP Circuit series that awarded 18 gold rings to winners. More than $47 million was paid out in said events, blasting past the $28 million in guarantees, and the entire series ran into the nine figures.

“With over $100M in guarantees during the WSOPC Super Series in May and more than $134M in awarded prizes, it’s clear that GGPoker and the WSOP make a good pair,” said Steve Preiss at GGPoker.

Will There Be Live WSOP Events in 2020?

In an interesting twist, the 85 scheduled online bracelet events almost exactly mirrors the originally announced 87 live bracelet events planned for summer of 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic shut those plans down.

The actual make-up of those events, though, couldn't be more different. Traditionally, the WSOP has hung its hat on being the poker festival that offers the widest variety of poker formats — don't hold your breath while looking for big razz or 2-7 single draw tournaments outside of the WSOP.

None of those niche and mixed formats are likely to be played during the online portions of the WSOP. The WSOP.com schedule, as it has been in the past, is made up of Omaha and hold'em events. The GGPoker schedule, while yet to be released, figures to be the same as the client only supports no-limit hold'em, pot-limit Omaha, and short deck.

Those who enjoy other formats or consistent action at five-figure stakes shouldn't give up hope just yet, however. WSOP Executive Director Stewart indicated nothing has changed as far as the planned running of a live 2020 WSOP later in the year.

'We are still hopeful the traditional WSOP may be played November-December and for all of our partners are considering this a brand extension versus a pure replacement,” he told PokerNews. He also revealed that all official ITM statistics (cashes, final tables, etc.) will be tracked and reported, and that player identities would be validated.

    World Series of Poker

*Ed. Note: This post was first published back in March, 2010. It was last updated in February, 2018.

  1. Phil Hellmuth – With 14 bracelets, the Poker Brat is king of tournaments. If you want to learn more about him and his amazing life and career in poker, we suggest that you check out our exclusive interview with Phil Hellmuth.
  2. Doyle Brunson – Not only is he the first to win the World Series of Poker main event twice, but he won them back to back, in 1976 and 1977. He is the owner of 10 bracelets, but has pretty much retired from tournament poker, with his last bracelet win coming in 2005.
  3. Johnny Chan – A.K.A. “The Orient Express” – Chan became the first player to win 10 World Series of Poker bracelets but, like Doyle Brunson, he’s also been “stuck” at 10 since 2005. He is also the only other person (aside from Brunson) to have won WSOP Main Event titles back to back.
  4. Phil Ivey – The great Phil Ivey has long been regarded by numerous poker observers and contemporaries as the best all-around player in the world today. He has won 10 bracelets, with his latest victory back in 2014. Notably, however, he has stepped away from tournament poker for the time being, opting to stick to cash game play. You can expect his bracelet count to increase, but only if he makes it a priority to head back to the tournament tables.
  5. Johnny Moss – Sometimes called the “Grand Old Man” because of his longevity and superior play, Moss was the first to claim a WSOP Main Event bracelet – and he did so via popular vote among his peers. He has a total of 9 bracelets, and passed away in 1995.
  6. Erik Seidel – He won his first WSOP bracelet in 1992 and won his 8th and most recent bracelet in 2007. Seidel continues to be a tremendous force in poker, with two-thirds of his $33+ million in career tournament winnings coming AFTER he was already inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame.
  7. Billy Baxter – Although Baxter is best known for his on-table poker accomplishments, it’s his landmark case of William E. Baxter Jr. vs. the United States that will forever cement his status as one of the most influential poker players of all-time. Why? Because that’s what allowed players to officially call poker a profession vis a vis the IRS; i.e., they could start itemizing deductions for losses and related costs. He has 7 bracelets.
  8. Men “The Master” Nguyen – Nguyen has experienced loads of success at the WSOP and is tied for fifth in all-time cashes. He’s notched 7 bracelet wins and thus has a spot on this list.

We’d love to round up this top 10 list with an additional two players, but that’s impossible as an incredible 7 players are tied with 6 bracelets apiece. These include: T.J. Cloutier, Layne Flack, Jay Heimowitz, Jeff Lisandro, Chris Ferguson, Ted Forrest, and Daniel Negreanu.

World Poker Champion Bracelet

Of those players, Negreanu stands the best chance of being the first to win his seventh bracelet. Arguably, the person with the next-best shot at claiming a seventh bracelet would be 2017 WSOP Player of the Year (and former WSOP Main Event Champ) Chris Ferguson. Of course, Lisandro and Flack remain active on the poker scene and are always threats to claim a bracelet as well.
