While the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) dominates the physical space of the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, the series has also been filling up digital tables with its online events.

So far, eight bracelets have been awarded online at this year's WSOP. In the end, six of the eight online bracelet winners were first-timers without gold on their wrists (the other two had a WSOPE and WSOP Online bracelet between them). However, every one of these online braceleteers has had to battle through deep shark-infested fields to earn their spot atop the podium.

There are still another 22 online bracelet events still to go, all playing out on the Nevada platform of WSOP.com.

Miguel Use
Miguel Use

Miguel Use of Belgium was the first player to win an online bracelet, taking down Online Event #1: $555 No Limit Hold'em 55th Annual Kick Off for $106,613. Use had a previous WSOP final table from the $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo event in 2017 where he came sixth. He has $280,133 in live cashes, so a $100k+ win is a big score for him.

The online bracelet events got off to a prompt start on June 1 with the Kick-Off event. This event set the tone for the online events, attracting a solid field of 1,544 entries and generating a prize pool of $764,820.

Use beat Stephen Hemsworth heads up to take the bracelet. Hemsworth won $77,818 for second place.

Roman Hrabec Wins Bracelet Hot Off $4.3m Triton Win

Czech pro Roman Hrabec is having a great year. In March, he took first place for $4,330,000 in the Triton Poker Jeju $100,000 NLH Main Event. This massive event was a record-setter with a 216-entry field, making it the biggest $100k event. Now, he's added a WSOP online bracelet win to his CV.

Hrabec's victory in Online Event #5: $333 No Limit Hold'em Triple Treys wasn't quite as lucrative as his Triton win. The event had a prize pool of $814,200 and Hrabec won $100,228 for his first-place finish.

However, beating 2,714 entries to win WSOP gold comes with its own kind of prestige.

Hrabec's heads-up opponent Derek Scott won $71,568 for second place.

2009 Main Event Champ Joe Cada Bubbles Final Table of $1,000 6-Max

Sungbin Ma caused some confusion in Online Event #8: $1,000 No Limit Hold'em 6-Max with his online handle "mikematusow." Until the man behind the avatar was revealed, Ma's handle led some people to believe that four-time WSOP bracelet winner Mike "The Mouth" Matusow had finally become five-time bracelet winner Mike "The Mouth" Matusow. Ma won $153,250 for his first-place finish.

The event attracted a total prize pool of $1,109,700 from a field of 1,233. That field was full of big names. 2009 Main Event Champion Joe Cada bubbled the final table, coming seventh for $25,190, and some of the most notable poker players at the series cashed, including Daniel Negreanu (56th - $2,663), Erik Seidel (121st - $1,886), and Phil Ivey (188th - $1,665).

While Matusow may have been at the final table in spirit, Felipe Ramos — a Brazilian pro with $3.7 million in live tournament cashes — was there in person, coming in fourth for $60,923.

Other notable players to cash in this event include Renan Bruschi (17th - $6,436), Calvin Anderson (23rd - $4,661), Artur Martirosian (28th - $3,995), Vanessa Kade (31st - $3,329), and Jamie Kerstetter (35th - $3,329).
