Six Remain In First Ever Online Bracelet Event, Will Play Down To Champion On Saturday
Nine hours and close to 900 eliminations later, six players are still alive and have a chance to take down the first World Series of Poker online bracelet event.
They'll have to wait until Saturday though, as the players will break for a day and return on July 4th to crown a champion.
In total, 905 players took their virtual seats, building up a nearly $860,000 prize pool that will see the eventual champion of Event #64 take home just over $197,000 and the first ever WSOP bracelet awarded through an online event.
There were plenty of big name players that took the felt, the only problem is, not all were known and even the remaining six players will remain anonymous for the next few hours, with their real names and chip counts being reported sometime over the next 24 hours.
We do know that Greg Merson, Natasha Barbour, Dutch Boyd all took a shot at the WSOP online glory, with the latter two making the money.
Those players all fell short of the final table, one that surely boasts it's own fair share of big name players, with those identities being revealed later on WSOP.com.
The handles and chip counts for the remaining six players are listed below, with a complete look at the remaining Event #64 payout structure listed under the 'Prize Pool' tab.
