Players looking to win a WSOP bracelet without ever stepping foot in Las Vegas will get their chance starting Sunday when the first of WSOP.com’s weekly online bracelet events kick off in New Jersey, Nevada, Delaware, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

Nightly satellites into the events are also running in the site’s five US markets. Players in New Jersey, Nevada, and Delaware all play together on one client, while Pennsylvania and Michigan players compete against players within their state borders, and on their own clients.
A mega-satellite where up to 30 seats are guaranteed will take place every Saturday in each market. Times vary, but most tournaments are scheduled to take place in the evenings, except of course in Vegas. They start at $33. Check the poker clients throughout the week for more information, as satellites are often added.
Eight bracelets to be awarded in Michigan and Pennsylvania
This will be the first — and last — year Michigan players can win bracelets playing only against opponents located within the state. WSOP.com went live there in March.
Since the site’s launch, state regulators have hitched Michigan’s poker market to the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA), and WSOP.com will soon hook up players in the Great Lakes State with players in the MSIGA member states of New Jersey, Nevada, and Delaware.
Over in the Keystone State, Pennsylvania’s schedule is exactly the same as Michigan’s, with one exception: July 17’s No-Limit Hold’em Championship costs $1,000 in Pennsylvania and $2,000 in Michigan. Both tournaments carry the same $18K guarantee.

Pennsylvania’s WSOP.com bracelet schedule
- Sunday, June 5: $500 No-Limit Hold’em (3x re-entry)

All events in both states start at 6 p.m.
More states mean bigger prize pools, more chances to win
The schedule for players in Nevada, New Jersey, and Delaware is, unsurprisingly, more robust than the schedules in Michigan and Pennsylvania. Players competing in these events will start, and finish, their series with a $5,300 No-Limit Hold’em freezeout. A $100 satellite with a five-seat promise takes place on June 4, and 16.
Players outside of Nevada will have the additional thrill — or headache — of facing bonafide poker champions who might actually be playing against them online while also competing in live WSOP events at Bally’s or Paris.
Too bad WSOP.com doesn’t have a chat feature.
