First Ring to be Awarded in 2020 GGPoker WSOP Winter Online Circuit
With winter almost upon us, it's time for the 2020 GGPoker WSOP Winter Online Circuit. With 18 events through Jan 10th, 2021, it's a great chance to bag a WSOP-C ring for the holidays.
The first chance to bag one of those rings kicks off today in about an hour, WSOPC #1: BIG $50, $1M Gtd. Players have been battling in Day 1 flights for a while already, and more than 2,000 of them have found a Day 2 bag so far. There are still three flights underway, but they've already smashed the guarantee with more than $1.4M in the prize pool.
Among the players who have already booked a ticket to Day 2 later is Brazil's Douglas "Doncic77" Souza, who currently leads the pack with almost 225,000 chips. Joining him on Day 2 will be notables such as Michiel "Easterdamnz" Van Elsacker, Bryan Paris, Patrick "Egption" Tardif, Jessica Teusl, and Dan Almeida among others. Below is a look at the current top ten stacks to start Day 2.
