With eight of the last WSOP 13 events won by someone not from America, the final tournaments of the 2021 WSOP were indeed an international affair. Players from Australia, Belarus, Germany, Spain, Bulgaria, and England all earned hardware and, in some cases, millions of dollars. And the WSOP finally saw a woman win an open event this Series when Leo Margets took down The Closer.
