Another interesting aspect to the WSOP Online is the Players Choice Events. This is a first for the brand, with players having the ability to select four events they want to see. #47-50 will be chosen by the players. the only details we know so far about these events is that two are considered the Most Popular, while other two are Spin the Wheel and Pros Vote.

It is expected that the event will be quite large as online poker participation has surged during the past few months due to the coronavirus outbreak.
