2020 WSOP Online: Bryan Piccioli Leads Final 38-Players in The WSOP Main Event

Brian Piccolo Chicago Bears

In 2017, moments after falling in sixth place in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event for $1.675m, Bryan Piccioli told reporters, “I’ve always dreamed of making it here. When I started playing poker, it was my dream to make the Main Event final table. I always knew that if I made it, I would have an incredible support group with me, and they lived up to expectations and beyond. They’ve been amazing.”

I wonder how they will all fit inside his house?

Piccioli is the chip leader with 38-players remaining in Event #77: $5,000 No Limit Hold’em Main Event at the WSOP Online Series on GGPoker. The event attracted an astonishing 5,082-entrants, smashing the $25m guarantee, and creating the largest prizepool in online multi-table tournament (MTT) history ($27,559,500).

At the start of Day 2, there were 1,171 players in the mist, but by the time birdsong broke, only 38-remained with Piccioli looking to make his second WSOP Main Event Final Table, albeit two very different types of table.

Piccioli isn’t the only known player in the mix. Stefan Schillabel has come out of retirement to snatch a 15th place spot, and high stakes star Chris Brewer sits in 27th. Online stars Benjamin Rolle (8th) and Samuel Vousden (29th) are also in contention, as are fellow bracelet winners Michael Lech (30th) and Arkadiy Tsinis (34th).

Here are the chip counts.

Brazilian soccer star Neymar and former heavyweight boxing champion Riddick Bowe were among the participants.

Kept out of Las Vegas by the coronavirus pandemic, the World Series of Poker moved online this summer. In July, it held a series of domestic events for U.S. players in New Jersey and Nevada, with Nahrain Tamero winning the main event.

The WSOP teamed with online poker platform GGPoker to offer the international series. Buy-ins for the international main event were $5,000, and players, who must be physically located in a jurisdiction that allows online poker, were allowed to enter a maximum of three times.

Paul Burke, head of public relations for GGPoker, said some American players had traveled to Mexico or Canada to participate in the record-breaking tournament.

'Players from all corners of the world have been logging in and playing,' Burke told ESPN. 'We gave players all over the world, who maybe would've had to save up for years and years to go to Vegas or maybe never would've made it [to] Vegas, the chance to play in it.'

The first World Series of Poker was held in Las Vegas in 1970 and has since grown to the most prestigious poker tournament in the world. Last year's main event attracted 8,569 entries, generating an $80.5 million prize pool. This year's in-person tournament was slated to take place at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas but was postponed in April due to the pandemic, and has yet to be rescheduled.
