Daniel “juice” Buzgon Captures Two Rings

One of the biggest stories to come out of the online series was New Jersey’s Daniel “juice” Buzgon capturing two rings in three days. First, he topped a 281-player field to win Event #8: $50,000 NLK Knockout Freezeout for $14,896.92, and two days later followed it up by besting a 261-entry field in Event #10: $75,000 GTD NLH Big $500 for $24,840.57.

The wins marked his fifth and sixth gold ring victories respectively

“Winning any poker tournament is always an exciting moment, especially when they have something extra like a WSOP ring attached to it,” Buzgon told PokerNews. “To do it twice in three days made it all that more special.”

He added: “I was happy to see that WSOP made online circuit events a priority this year due to the uncertainty of live poker. I am definitely going to try and play as many events as I can this year and hope I can run as well the rest of the year as I have in the first two series.”

Derek “rickyguan” Sudell Wins Main Event

The $525 buy-in, $250K GTD Main Event attracted 470 players who rebought 253 times, which meant the 723-entry field resulted in a $361,500 prize pool. That was paid out to the top 100 finishers including Katie “katelin” Lindsay (16th - $2,675.10), Richard “Gladiator8” Rossetti (23rd - $2,205.15), Jonathan “jetsfan14” Borenstein (34th - $1,735.20), Ryan “Protential” Laplante (37th - $1,735.20), and Andrew “WATCHGUY42” Lichtenberger (52nd - $1,337.55).

After 11 hours and 37 minutes of play, it was Derek “rickyguan” Sudell besting “jnja1719” in heads-up play to win the gold ring and a $57,623.10 first-place prize. It was his second career gold ring after he won October’s WSOP.com Online Fall Circuit Event #4: $100,000 NLH Monster Stack for $50,688.
