Online WSOP Bracelet Event Cancelled

It’s said that wonders shall never cease, and one incident that occurred recently has shocked poker players all around the world. It all happened when an online WSOP bracelet event was cancelled, and that was for lack of quorum. The event required at least eight players, but the event could gather only about four. The event was part of the fall bracelet series, which is currently ongoing at WSOP.com, the $5,300 NLH High Roller.

Poker events, whether online or offline, rarely get cancelled, and one that promised a bracelet getting cancelled has had the poker community talking. After all, the WSOP bracelet is one of the most, if not the most coveted pieces of jewellery in the poker world, and players not gathering up to chance to win that is pretty shocking. This is rare, but it is a double-whammy of unhappy circumstances for the event organisers and the players. Currently, it is unclear whether this has ever happened before.

As soon as the players who had lined up in the comforts of their homes to go on a hunt for the bracelets got the message that the event was cancelled, some of them went ahead and posted about it on their socials, including Mike Setera, who has twelve WSOP circuit rings.

Winning, or not being able to win a WSOP bracelet has been a conversation piece in the poker community, and several have become instant celebrities not to mention raked in the cash.  The fall event has more than a dozen bracelet-winning opportunities for those seeking, with the series running until 17th November with bracelet events at regular intervals. Just a few days ago, Maria Konnikova, the celebrated writer who now plays poker, made headlines by winning her first WSOP bracelet and the WSOP.com Crazy 888 event.

Some Indians have also won the coveted bracelet, carving a niche for themselves in poker history. The first and only woman to win the WSOP bracelet is Nikita  Luther, who clinched her’s in 2018, winning Event #55 $1,000 Tag Team No-Limit Hold’em with Giuseppe Pantaleo, splitting the prize money of $175,805. 

The WSOP bracelet was first conceived in 1976 and the number of bracelet winners has increased over the years. While very few bracelets were given out in the nineties, by 2017, WSOP had a whopping 74 bracelet events lined up By 2014, there were about more than 1000 bracelets up for grabs. It remains to be seen, as the years go by, what’s the total increase in the number of bracelets and bracelet events.

The bracelet isn’t going anywhere, and it is as coveted a title as it was a few days ago. The cancellation could just be an anomaly that was waiting to happen. And like always, Gutshot Magazine will be the first to provide you with information about the next bracelet winner.
