Nathan Gamble WSOP Online

The 2020 World Series of Poker Online continues on with seven bracelets having already been awarded. Over the last few days, four players have taken down hardware. Matt Bode called his shot in taking down Event #4. Allen Chang then won Event #5 for his first career bracelet.

In Event #6, Nathan Gamble won his second career WSOP bracelet after winning the PLO8 6-Max. Meanwhile, Joon Kim outlasted a stacked final table that included poker media member Jeff Platt to win Event #7.

Matt Bode Wins Event #4

Back on June 29th, Matt Bode made a prediction that he would win a bracelet, presumably at the WSOP Online. It didn’t take long for him to make that prediction become a reality as he won Event #4, the $500 NL Hold’em Super Turbo. The event drew 1,179 entries for a $530,550 prize pool.

The final table of the event included pro Kevin “ImaLuckSac” MacPhee and Shawn “Saygoodnight” Daniels. Daniels made the final table of Event #1 of the WSOP online and is the first player to make two final tables in this series.

Bode, playing as “Bodeyster” made heads-up play against Brian “XcrazylegsX” Frasca. Frasca started heads-up play as the chip leader but the blinds were so high that his lead did not last long. In the end, Bode got lucky with Q-7 against the A-Q of Frasca to win the bracelet and $97,091 in prize money.

Allen Chang Wins $1k Freezeout

Event #5 was a $1,000 NL Hold’em Freezeout that drew a strong field of 854 players. At the final table, the headliners included Alex “ShadowField1” Condon, and Phillip “tomte” Yeh. Ultimately, it was Yeh playing against Allen “Acnyc718” Chang for the title.

Chang had a nice 3:1 chip lead at the start of heads-up action, but Yeh battled back to take over the chip lead. Chang kept hammering and eventually retook the lead. Yeh eventually was all-in with 8-6 and ran into Q-J from Chang. The Q-J prevailed to give Chang his first bracelet and $161,286 in prize money.

Nathan Gamble Win Event #6 For Second Career Bracelet

The first live bracelet winner to take down an online title in this series did so on Monday Night. Nathan “surfbum” Gamble took down Event #6, the $600 PLO8 Six-Max to win his second career gold bracelet. The event had a respectable field of 833 entries and the final table included several strong players including Simon “bagelbites” Lam, John “rainman3817” Esposito, and Shane “danish01” Daniels.

It was Daniels against Gamble heads-up for the bracelet. Gamble had a solid chip lead but Daniels battled back to take the lead for a while. However, Gamble retook the lead. In the end, Daniels was all-in with two pair while Gamble had scoop outs. He hit a seven high straight to win his second career bracelet and $89,424.

This is Gamble’s second PLO8 bracelet. He won the $1,500 PLO8 Event back at the 2017 WSOP for his first career title.

Joon Kim Wins Event #7 – $800 NLH KO Deepstack

Event #7 was the $800 NL Hold’em KO Deepstack Event. The event drew a field of 989 players, bringing in a prize pool of $731,660. By the time the final table was reached, many were watching poker media member Jeff “mavsusc” Platt. He was live-streaming the event and looking to become the first media member since Chad Halloway to win a WSOP bracelet.

Platt’s journey fell short as he fell in seventh place. Eric “CircleBall” Baldwin was the true headliner at the final table. However, he didn’t manage to win the bracelet either as he fell in third. This left Stephen “bunsamillion” McManus facing Joon “jykpoker” Kim for the title.

Kim had a 5:1 chip lead to start heads-up play and it wasn’t long before he finished off McManus. He took down his first bracelet along with $103,127 in prize money and $3,000 in bounties.
