The 2020 World Series of Poker Online was a series of online poker tournaments organized by the World Series of Poker (WSOP). It was held from July 1-September 8 and featured 85 bracelet events, 31 on WSOP.com and 54 on GGPoker.
In June, the WSOP announced the series as a result of postponing the 2020 WSOP in Las Vegas, Nevada due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [1] [2] Events included the $50 Big 50, the lowest buy-in WSOP event in history, as well as four People's Choice tournaments that allowed players to vote on which game to play. The series culminated in the $5,000 No Limit Hold'em Main Event beginning on August 16 with a $25 million guaranteed prize pool, the largest in online poker history. [3]
Poker Central and GGPoker.TV streamed 12 final tables during the series. Tournaments on WSOP.com were open only to players located in Nevada or New Jersey, while GGPoker events were open to international players. [4]
The first two events on GGPoker were expected to conclude on July 19. After a bug was discovered on the site's servers, however, the tournaments were postponed by a week. [5]

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is a series of poker tournaments held annually in Paradise, Nevada and, since 2004, sponsored by Caesars Entertainment. It dates its origins to 1970, when Benny Binion invited seven of the best-known poker players to the Horseshoe Casino for a single tournament, with a set start and stop time, and a winner determined by a secret ballot of the seven players.
The 2007 World Series of Poker (WSOP) began on June 1st, 2007. The $10,000 (US) no-limit Texas hold 'em Main Event began on July 6th and was completed on the morning of July 18th.
