The WSOP introduced a new hybrid format which is a combination of online and offline tournaments. The new format has given players from all over the world an opportunity to compete with each other on a single platform. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the usual live format of the WSOP was changed so that players could safely participate in the tournament. Most of the events will be held online and only the selected events would be held live in Las Vegas.

The sweet message from ElkY to the Indian poker community is surely an encouraging one for all the players in the country. With big poker names participating in the country, the WSOP 2020 is an event that should not be missed for any reason. Register for the WSOP and who knows, you may find your name in the poker hall of fame.
