Event #47: $1,000 Short Deck No-Limit Hold’em of the 2020 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Online on GGPoker/Natural8 logged in 487 runners that helped generate a prize pool worth $462,560. The top 71 players got paid with a min-cash worth $2,152. Taking home his first bracelet was Malaysia’s Paul Teoh (cover image), who walked away with $88,202 in prize money after defeating Michelle “hu4trollzz” Shah heads-up.

Another player on the FT who made a lot of noise (and for obvious reasons) was Mike Watson. Widely considered one of the best MTT players in the game yet to win a gold bracelet, Watson boasts $12 Million in live tournament winnings and $6 Million in recorded online winnings!
