However, our coverage just got amped up a little! Besides our traditional updates, the PokerNews Twitch stream is back to bring direct you coverage from the digital arena.
PokerNews will be streaming on most Sundays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, focusing on all the action over at GGPoker. The stream will be hosted by PokerNews's Social Media manager Jesse Fullen and an array of co-hosts will rotate in and out alongside him to commentate on the action.
On Sunday, July 19, GGPoker held its first-ever WSOP bracelet events — part of a 54-event schedule spread out across July, August, and into September. Unfortunately, on a night where three bracelet winners were supposed to be crowned, two of the events ran into a critical bug and had to be suspended to next week.
The lightning-fast Event #34: $525 Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed — clocking in at a mere 3 hours and 15 minutes start to finish to make it the fastest-ever bracelet event — was unaffected by the technical issues and played out as normal. In total, 2,214 entries of $525 each were made to create a total prize pool of $1,107,000.
In the end, it was Shoma "pp_syon" Ishikawa of Japan writing history as GGPoker's first-ever online bracelet winner, as well as the third person from Japan after Naoya Kihara and Takahiro Nakai to claim the coveted prize. Ishikawa is an emerging talent from the land of the rising sun.
Ishikawa may have been GGPoker's first-ever bracelet winner, but he's not the last. As the series rolls on, several others have been crowned.
Sergi Reixach limped early, and after another limp, Ruslan Khadartsev raised to 110,000 in the cutoff. Reixach shoved, and Khadartsev called off for less.
