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

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

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).
