The 2021 GGPoker WSOP Online Bracelet Events will determine the second winner of a championship event during the ongoing festival on the fastest-growing online poker network today. Out of a field of 479 entries, only nine players remain in Event #8: $5,000 6-Handed Championship. Poker's most precious prize will be on the line as a gold bracelet is up for grabs, along with the top prize of $423,426.
Leading the field into the final day by some margin is Austrian-based German poker pro Daniel Smiljkovic with a stack just shy of 100 big blinds. "P0t RippeR", who is flying the flag of Cyprus on GGPoker, sits in second place with 65 big blinds whereas China's Xuming "scplayer" Qi is in third on a stack just under 50 big blinds.
