GGPoker Creates New Record

GGPoker once again played host to the WSOP Online bracelet series which wrapped up this week on a high note. The festival’s flagship event, the $5,000 WSOP Online Main Event, broke its own record after attracting a total of 6,023 entries to generate $28,609,250 in total prize money, way beyond the tournament’s advertised guarantee of $25 million.

The 2023 WSOP Online Main Event featured almost two dozen starting flights, giving as many players as possible the chance to take a shot. In the end, the tournament managed to smash the figures it generated back in 2020 – 5,802 entries and $27,559,500 in total prize pool – to set a new record.

2023 has also turned out to be a huge year for Bert “girafganger7” Stevens as he ended up winning the record-breaking tournament for a cool $2,783,433 in top prize. Stevens entered heads-up play with a massive chip lead against Yagen Li. He never relinquished that position and cruised to victory, earning the biggest score of his career.
