On pokerfuse, our early reveal has proven to be spot on. It is missing a couple of facts - Milly Maker also comes with a $5M guarantee, and missing on this list is the NLHE Asia Championship. https://pokerfuse.com/news/live-and-online/211515-exclusive-reveal-ggpoker-wsop-online-highlights-schedule/">https://pokerfuse.com/news/live...
Also, while we& #39;re on content up on @pokerfuse, if you& #39;re interested in the NV/NJ bracelet series, check out this big FAQ that answers everything you might want to know.
For this thread, we& #39;re going to be talking the GG series for international players. https://pokerfuse.com/news/poker-room-news/211512-ultimate-guide-2020-wsop-online-bracelet-events/">https://pokerfuse.com/news/poke...

The 1 fact everyone is focused on is the "22 Day 1 flights" for the Main Event. I& #39;ve said this a few times, but I& #39;ll say it one more time: This fact was briefly up on P5s but was removed soon after publication. It was not in the PR.
I wrote some more on 2+2 about this.

So we don& #39;t know how many Day 1 flights there will be right now. But there& #39;s probably going to be quite a few.
The first Day 1 starts on August 16, and Day 2 kicks off on August 30, leaving a wide gap for a long Day 1 schedule.
The first Day 1 starts on August 16, and Day 2 kicks off on August 30, leaving a wide gap for a long Day 1 schedule.
So maybe GG is rethinking this strategy, but it& #39;s going to have to be that kind of ballpark, I imagine. It& #39;s a $5k event with $25m guaranteed. This aint gonna be a freezeout. Unless they have a v aggressive satellite schedule.
There& #39;s an interesting thing in the schedule. The vast majority are 1 day events, and permit 2 re-entries max
However, all but one of the tournaments with guarantees are multi-day, and of those - all but one will have multiple flights. Most will allow re-entries on the flights.

But when you look at the size of the events, that& #39;s hardly surprising. The Big 50 is $46+4 and guarantees $1 million.
That& #39;s almost 22,000 entries to cover.
Other huge ones:
- $475+$25 mini-Main, $5 million = ~10,500 entries
- $400 Colossus $3 million guarantee ~8000

The one that& #39;s a freezeout wit ha guarantee: A rebranded GGMasters. $150 buy-in.
Normally has $500k guarantee (and is currently overlaying). Will have $1 million for WSOP Edition.
That& #39;s *very* ambitious for a freezeout in my mind.

It appears as I& #39;ve been writing this thread (or at least in the last couple of hours), GG has added another guaranteed freezeout to the schedule.
Now there& #39;s a $1500 GG Masters WSOP Edition with $25 million guarantee and is a *freezeout*
Comparing with P5s schedule posted on Friday, it seems this event has been inserted, and one event lower down has been removed - #50 People& #39;s Choice Event [Asia]
So that& #39;s +$2.5m onto the total gtd, and what could be GG& #39;s response to players wanting more freeze-outs.

Anyway, that was an exciting diversion. So now we have 2 ambitious freezeouts on there with guarantees, and all non-guaranteed events are 2RE max.
But for some of the others, expect a LOT of phases. For example, they are rebranding (and upping gtds) for their multi-MILLION$

Normally these have 28 phases throughout the week, last time we counted. That& #39;s what it takes to get a $1 million guaranteed, $100 buy-in tournament to fill every week (unless you& #39;re PokerStars). For the WSOP edition, the guarantee is $2 million.
What else is in the schedule? Some nice variety - 2 events, lots of bounty, good splash of PLO and Short Deck, a PLO bounty - and some fun ones, like the People’s Choice events.
They have some events starting midday GMT for the Asian crowd evening crowd, and one bracelet denominated in HK dollars with a (equiv of $1k buy-in, $1m guarantee).
There are 2 leaderboards:
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐲" title="Drachengesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Drachengesicht"> Pure Gold Dragon for top performer Asian
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐭" title="Mäusegesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Mäusegesicht"> Pure Gold Mouse for top performer on all events
(or maybe it& #39;shttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🖱️" title="Computer-Maus" aria-label="Emoji: Computer-Maus">)
(or maybe it& #39;s
So big open questions hopefully clarified this week:
- The Day 1 phase schedule for all the bracelet events
- Sattie structure. They have a micros-to-main plan here that starts in a couple of days.
- The promotions - $5 million giveaway, apparently, no details yet.

Also, whether there will be a massive championships around this or if GG/WSOP will keep it to just the bracelets.
WSOP has just announced a huge $6 million Online Championships with 140 events in US.
