- Numbers are in for the seven closed bracelet events and these have produced $1.2 million—an average of close to $180K per tournament.

The WSOP online bracelet series in the newly launched Pennsylvania market has almost come to an end. Eight bracelet events were scheduled exclusively for Pennsylvania players barely a month after the room went online.
On July 12, WSOP launched in its third US state and became the third online poker network in the Keystone State. Despite the highly anticipated entry, WSOP PA cash game traffic got off to a slow start and is still reporting an average of around just 30 concurrent cash game seats, as per data tracked by GameIntel and available exclusively on PRO.
And while the bracelet series did help its recovery and put it in the second spot in the market, it is still far behind the market leader PokerStars PA.
But despite the slow start to the cash game traffic, the online bracelet series has done far better. Numbers are in for the seven closed bracelet events and these have produced $1.2 million in prize money—an average of close to $180K per tournament.
