2021 WSOP Online [International]: MAIN EVENT FINAL 9 and Day 2 recap

Online Poker
09/08/2021

While every bracelet event that extended a guarantee surpassed its target, the 2021 World Series of Poker Online [International] headliner WSOP #27: $5,000 MAIN EVENT Online Championship fell short of its US$ 20M offer for an overlay of US$ 563K. Unlike last year’s 5,802 entries that amassed a record breaking online poker prize pool of US$ 27.5M+, this year’s attendance was significantly less at 4,092 entries. Despite the drop, it was still a commendable turnout that will eventually see four players bank seven figures. The champion will walk away with the coveted championship gold bracelet and become US$ 2,543,07 richer. In addition, the winner will be inducted into the GG Team Champions and will receive a US$ 50,000 Sponsorship Package.

Here’s a look at the final 9 players and a recap of the Day 2 action. The game resumes on September 12 @ 01:00 GMT and will broadcast on GGPoker.tv.

Final 9: WSOP #27: $5,000 MAIN EVENT Online Championship

When the Main Event final 9 return, each one will be hunting down their first ever WSOP title. Everyone is guaranteed a minimum US$ 254,308 with seven of them earning their largest score no matter where they place. Brazil and Russia have multiple chances to bring home a first WSOP Main Event championship title with two players from each country in the lineup. Sole woman Christine Do is also looking to rein it in and should she succeed, she will join Norwegian Annette Obrestad as the only other female champion.

Edson “CrownUpTsu” Tochimitsu Tsutsumi Jr – Brazil – 60,403,59 – 100.7 BB

Can’t deny the dominating Brazilian presence at the series with multiple players claiming bracelets. Edson “CrownUpTsu” Tochimitsu Tsutsumi Jr could become the next and the first ever WSOP Main Event champion from Brazil if he maintains his hold on the top spot. As a Natural8 player, a victory here will also earn him a Team Bling US$ 100,000 Sponsorship. Taking a look at his past achievements, Tsutsumi nearly won a circuit ring at the 2019 WSOPC Uruguay, placing 3rd at the Main Event for his largest tracked career score of US$ 49,590. He has over US$ 209K in winnings on Natural8.

Aleksei “Ha KoJleHu” Vandyshev is in fine shape to take down the prestigious title and bring Russia its first WSOP Main Event gold. He is just 10 BB behind the leader. Vandyshev has one prior cash in this series, however his deepest run was at the 2018 WSOPC Sochi where he placed 11th at the Main Event for ~US$ 16.4K.

Out of all the finalists, Smolka has the most GG Network earnings amounting to US$ 1.2 Million.

Brazilian player Renan “legal” Meneguetti may not have an extensive list of stats to prove his worth however he is at the final table for his deepest WSOP run.

Last May, Meneguetti won the WSOPC Series $100 Deepstack Special for US$ 13,470. He has over US$ 228.1K in GG Network earnings.

Series champion Nuno “Albertov” Capucho busted 38th on a three way, and was followed by Thailand’s Kannapong “Sakooh” Thanarattrakul (36th) with Ks10c top pair dominated by Nikita “VSMPZD” Kuznetsov”s 2d2c set on a board 2hKhJhAh3s. Next Asian to tumble was China’s Chao “Butterthelab” Tang (34th) who gambled with Ks7s that lost to Joe “assisup4rent” SerockAcQs.

One hour later, Brazil’s Edson “CrownUpTsu” Tsutsumi pushed on a board Jc8d9s10d2h, Kartik “Mandovi” Ved tank-called for all his chips with QsJs straight only to bust in 27th place to KcQd higher straight. China’s Xinlong “XLongHuang” Huang joined the rail in 17th place with A10 beaten by AQ.

At the final 16, Christine “Yunaa” Do was dead last with 10.8 BB and Dimitrios Farmakoulis just one notch higher with 13.9 BB. Only two WSOP decorated players remained, bracelet winner Thomas Cazayous and 5x ring / bracelet winner Mike Leah. After Serock eliminated Sebastian “Weizen” Gaehl (16th – US$ 90,324), Espen Uhlen “COVFEFE-19” Joerstad put the brakes on Cazayous (15th – US$ 90,324) with KsQh spiking the queen to dust As8h. Nicolo “Do-What-You-lov3” Bartolone AhJh cleaned out Leah Ad9d (13th – US$ 103,870), Serock’s JsJd held against As10d to bounce out Australia’s Matthew “Un Gamja!” Wakeman (11th – US$ 119,449), “Yunaa” doubled up with AhKd both pairing up to survive Joerstad’s 9h9c, and Aleksei “Ha KoJleHu” Vandyshev’s Js10d jack on the flop outdrew Bartolone’s AsKd to end the day with the final 9 players established. Bartolone walked away with US$ 137,363.
