A whopping 672 players created a massive prize pool of $3,192,000 with $531,513 up top.

Several big games on the final table
Several big names such as Mikita Badziakouski, Ludovic Geilich, Preben Stokkan, Hun Wei Lee and online legend Chris Moorman all made the final table.
Chris “moorman1” Moorman is an absolute online poker legend and the record Triple Crown Winner with an insane 30 Triple Crowns!
He also has won a WSOP Bracelet in a $3,000 No Limit Hold’em 6 Handed at the 2017 WSOP for $498,682.
Chris Moorman with the chance to win his second Bracelet
After three years, Moorman got the chance to win his second WSOP bracelet as he made it all the way to heads-up.
However, his opponent Ravid Garbi entered heads-up play with an almost 2.5 to 1 chiplead. Moorman fought back and even managed to take over the lead shortly.
Then Garbi pulled away though and continued to extend his lead to more than 3 to 1.
In the final hand Ravid Garbi shoved from the button with K♥8♣ and Chris Moorman called it off short with Q♠T♣.
Moorman didn’t get any help from the board of 2♦A♥5♦6♣A♣ and so the first bracelet of this year’s WSOP Online went to Israel in form of surprise winner Ravid Garbi together with a staggering $531,513.
