Each time you feel like online poker has reached its apotheosis, the operators burn the old textbooks in a conflagration of colour, and a new ‘record’ emerges like a Phoenix.

GGPoker is the latest to hunch around the firepit after it released further details on the 2020 World Series of Poker (WSOP) online schedule, a move prompted by a leaked version ending up on Pokerfuse.

54-bracelets are up for grabs between Jul 19 to Sep 6, allowing poker fans the opportunity to win a bracelet from the comfort of home from outside of the USA for the first time.

The schedule is virtually indistinguishable from what you would expect from the typical muddle of live events, and that’s because of GGPoker’s inability to construct a plan with more alternatives than Limit Hold’em, No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha. That said, there are a few old favourites on the roster (see below).

The ‘prestige of a WSOP bracelet has gone down the toilet’ brigade will be eating up and vomiting on the news that the BIG 50 will create a new record allowing punters to win a bracelet for as low as $50. The maximum that someone is going to be in for is $25,000.

Players who finish in the money (ITM) will have their real names broadcast to the world, including 100% of people who make a final table. That action will come to you live via GGPoker.tv and Poker Central.

The Main Event

The biggest story is the $5,000 No Limit Hold’em Main Event and its record $25m guarantee, beating the $21,780,000 amassed by the 2018 partypoker MILLIONS field. There will be multiple Day 1’s with Day 2 beginning Aug 30. Each flight is a freezeout.

There are also leaderboard prizes, but the details are sparse for now. There will be a leaderboard specifically for events that tie in with GGPoker’s Asian facing audience (Pure Gold Dragon), and there are leaderboards called ‘Pure Gold Mouse’ and ‘Pure Gold Cards.’

There are also three ‘People’s Choice’ bracelet events.

Hedonism is whatever turns you on, and for some, that’s the hardscrabble grind of online poker multi-table tournaments (MTTs) – the very form of indulgence that Alex Foxen enjoys.

The man many would vote as the hardest working high stakes online MTT grinder in the biz spent Thursday night creating a heatwave in the High Roller Club on partypoker.

Foxen licked the 42-entrant field in the $10,300, $400k High Roller Main Event for $159,600. The triumph is Foxen’s third High Roller Club title of the week, after winning two on Tuesday night. Foxen also made the final table of the $5k (3rd) and the $530 (5th) concluding a fantastic evening.

Viktor Blom was the last man seated in Foxen’s $10k win. The Swede also made the final table of the $5k (6th) to continue his resurgence in high stakes online MTTs, and his compatriot and former PocketFives World #1 Nikas Astedt also featured in two final tables, finishing 6th in the $10k and 3rd in the $1k.

Winners on the night include Sam Greenwood taking down the 40-entrant $5k for $80,000, Ivan Gabrieli winning the 47-entrant $1k for $16,614.21, and Andrey Kotelnikov for outlasting the 51-entrant field in the $530 for – $8,345.06.

As the world widens their aperture in post lockdown world, online poker players stay firmly seated with butts in chairs courtesy of some of the best high stakes action the industry has ever seen. Given the recent rise in coronavirus cases in Las Vegas casinos since the decision to reopen the pits, I guess that’s a good thing.

While weekend warriors dodged COVID bullets in nightclubs, churches and casinos alike, Michael Addamo took the High Roller Club apart like a seasoned plumber with a wrench and a leaky faucet.

The awesome Australian, hailing from Old Blighty, binked victories in Sunday’s two highest buy-ins in the High Roller Club collecting more than $600,000 in loot, and moving up to #11 in the leaderboard proper.

The man standing ten rungs of the ladder higher than Addamo is Rok Gostisa. The Slovenian finished in the money (ITM) in two of Sunday’s events to surpass Luke Reeves at the top. The British star managed to eke into one final table, finishing fifth in the Warm-Up, slipping into second place.

Timothy Adams, Juan Pardo Dominguez, and Pascal Lefrancois all replicating Gostisa with two final appearances on Sunday. Adams sits fourth in the overall leaderboard with Lefrancois, seventh.

The enrollment in GGPoker’s high stakes multi-table tournaments (MTTs) has been more fish paste sandwich than full-on New York Deli, but for the sake of uniformity here are the results.

The form seems to be this: when an MTT becomes a short-handed Sit n Go, Jake Schindler wins it. The American-pro featured in the money (ITM) in three of the five $5k+ events spread over the last three days, winning the two smallest.

Schindler took down two 5-entrant Bryn’s High Rollers $5k events, beating Alex Foxen in one and Chris Brewer in the other as well as finishing 4/52 in the High Rollers Blade Prime $5k.

Juan Pardo Dominguez finished ITM in two events, including winning the highest buy-in of the lot in another short-handed scramble. The Spaniard took down the 6-entrant Bryn’s High Rollers $10k, defeating that man Jake Schindler, heads-up. Dominguez also finished 3/23 in the High Roller Blade Mulligan $5k, an event that ‘dnegking’ won for $57,083.13.

Preben Stokkan is the man who walked away from GGPoker with the biggest prize of the past three days. The Norwegian star conquered a 52-entrant field to win the High Rollers Blade Prime $5k. Stokkan beat Timother Nuter, heads-up, to claim the $94,390.95 first prize.

The kaleidoscope of high stakes poker continues unabated on partypoker with the High Roller Club. The flunky free home of those seeking fame, fortunate and flow saw Luke Reeves replace Thomas Muehloecker at the top of the leaderboard after six events on Tuesday night.

Reeves finished in the money (ITM) in 50% of the night’s events, winning two of them. The UK star was a revelation in the 60-entrant $1,050 High Roller Mix-Max, beating Atanas Malinov to secure the $20,754.48 first prize. Reeves then went on to win the 39-entrant $2,600 High Roller Club Mix-Max, defeating George Wolff, heads-up for $39,000.01.

Chad Eveslage also bagged a brace. The man from Indiana crushed the 99-entrant field in the $530 High Roller 6-Max Bounty Hunter for $11,923.93, before besting a field of 44-entrants in the $2,100 High Roller Club 6-Max Knockout for $40,157.02.

Other winners on the night include Teun Muelder who won the $5,200 High Roller Club Main Event, overthrowing 51-entrants including Sam Greenwood, heads-up, to claim the $90,525 first prize. Jans Arends won the $1,050 High Roller Club 6-Max Turbo Knockout, circumventing 44 landmines to collect $16,391.03.

Matthias Eibinger led the close but no cigar brigade with three ITM finishes. Andras Nemeth, Kristen Bicknell, Mark Davis and the Arends as mentioned above, earned two.

Here is the leaderboard.

The action continues until 16 July.

Isaac Haxton

Isaac Haxton ravaged the High Roller Club games on partypoker on Sunday. The partypoker ambassador made two final tables, winning the biggest one of the lot and bubbling the Mix-Max.

Haxton took down the 46-entrant, $25,500 High Roller Club Main Event beating Sergi Reixach, heads-up, to win the first prize of $437,000, before finishing 7/229 in the $5,200 Big Game.

Wiktor Malinowski, Viktor Blom and Sergi Reixach also made two final tables in the three events. Malinowski finished fourth in the $25k, and eighth in the Big Game; Blom finished sixth in the $25k and seventh in the $10k Mix-Max; Reixach added an eighth-place finish in the Mix-Max to the runner-up finish in the $25k.

Haxton wasn’t the only partypoker pro heralded in the poker news columns this week. Patrick’ pleno1′ Leonard excelled in May leading PocketFives to award him with the monthly PLB title.

Amongst Leonard’s highlights were two Spring Championships of Online Poker (SCOOP) titles, and a runner-up in GGPoker’s massive $25k event during the World Series of Poker Super Circuit. The WSOPC win earned him a whopping $1.6m to sail past the $11m mark in all-time online multi-table tournament (MTT) earnings.

It’s Leonard’s first PLB title since October 2014, and he currently sits third in the PocketFives World Rankings.

partypoker drove down the online poker’s high roller street in their double-decker bus this weekend. The ‘High Roller Club’ is their latest revamped and rock n roll high stakes billboard, and in this little ditty, we will bring you the results.

partypoker’s ‘High Roller Club’ consists of 13 events (Mon-Sat) and 6 on Sunday. Buy-in constellations twinkle between $530 and $25,000, and that puts them right up there with the action on GGPoker.

Wiktor Malinowski overcame all impediments on his way to victory in the $25,000 Main Event. The polished Pole overcame a final table that housed the likes of Nick Schulman, Justin Bonomo and Matthias Eibinger, but it was Steve O’Dwyer who Malinowski beat heads-up for the title.

Only three people entered the Bryn High Rollers $5k on Monday, and Jake Schindler defeated Ali Imsirovic and AndyAtTheBike to claim the $14,250 first prize. Schindler also finished second in a second Bryn High Rollers $5k that attracted 16-entrants. AndyAtTheBike won that one for $49,400.

The former Global Poker Index (GPI) Player of the Year, David Peters, finished fourth, and the two-time Super High Roller Bowl (SHRB) winner, Timothy Adams, finished third.
