We expected big action in WSOP Online bracelet events last week and those expectations were met in spades. It was the biggest week of the WSOP Online action thus far, both in terms of prize pools and number of players who showed up at the virtual felt.
Event #11, the $1,000,000 GTD Mystery Bounty, stole the show, breaking its guarantee by more than $500,000 and attracting the largest field we’ve seen in online bracelet events this year.
The other three events that were on the schedule at WSOP Online last week did not disappoint, either, while over at WSOP PA, the only guaranteed event of the series managed to surpass its guarantee, albeit not by much.

Nearly $5,000,000 in Prizes Awarded
Last week’s online bracelet action kicked off with the $3,200 High Roller event, which attracted 287 original players and 122 entries. Added together, this was enough to create the second seven-figure prize pool of 2024 as the final number stood at just over $1.2 million.
The tournament played down to the final table of eight, and these eight will convene on July 14 at Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas to determine the winner. Everyone coming back is guaranteed over $25,000, while the last player standing will take home a WSOP bracelet and $224,418 in prize money.
The High Roller event served as a great introduction to the big weekend action that kicked off with Event #10 – $600 Monsterstack on Saturday. As expected, the tournament generated quite a bit of interest, ending up with just shy of 1,800 entries and a prize pool of $961,740. The winner, ‘Bobsaggette,’ banked $125,412.
Sunday saw two tournaments, one of them being the eagerly anticipated $500 Mystery Bounty. Event #11 came with a cool $1,000,000 guarantee, but that guarantee was blown out of the water as the total of 3,462 entries translated into the prize pool of well over $1.5 million. This was by far the biggest turnout in WSOP Online bracelet events this year.
The winner, ‘ImaCowboy,’ took home $127,716, while another lucky player scored the main $100,000 bounty about halfway through the tournament.
The weekend action wrapped up in style with yet another seven-figure prize pool in Event #12 – $888 Crazy 8’s. With 1,366 entries, the event dished out just shy of $1.1 million in prizes, with the winner ‘JustVar1ance’ taking the lion’s share of that amount for $150,915.
Over in Pennsylvania, WSOP PA hosted the only event with a guarantee, promising $100,000 in Event #4 – $500 Mystery Bounty. By the time the late registration closed, the guarantee was met and slightly exceeded, as the final prize pool stood at $103,950. The winner, ‘2fish1hand,’ picked up $12,453 for their efforts.

Bigger Buy-ins Ahead
For the week ahead, there are four more online bracelet events on the books — three on the combined MI/NJ/NV platform and one at WSOP PA.
Two of the three tournaments taking place at WSOP Online are in the higher buy-in bracket. The first one is $1,000 Event #13 on Tuesday, June 25, while the second one is Event #14 – $5,300 High Roller on Saturday, June 29.
Players looking for something more affordable will have their shot at a bracelet on Sunday, June 30, in the $500 Deepstack tournament (Event #15).
In Pennsylvania, Sunday is reserved for Event #5, NLH Monsterstack, which comes with a rather reasonable asking price of $600.
