The winner of the WSOP Tournament of Champions, Benjamin Kaupp qualified for the Tournament of Champions after winning an Online $215 WSOP.com PA Circuit event.
The watering down of the WSOP brand is now complete.
anyone who has ever placed any importance on bracelets is utterly clueless. there are people from the 70s who won bracelets in events with less than 10 people. some guy bill boyd won a bracelet in stud where there was one other entrant. he then got a bracelet the next year for "winning" when he was the ONLY entrance. it doesn't get much more watered down than that.
10k event with 8000 people- bracelet. 50k with 100 people bracelet. some mix game event with 60 people- bracelet! the only thing funnier is circuit rings.
at least this TOC is Caesars giving some money back to the players.
