Warm-Up Tournaments
The initial four days (April 1-4) of the event showcased 12 warm-up activities with buy-ins varying from $30 to $100. Seth Palansky, Caesars Interactive Entertainment’s Vice President of Corporate Communications, informed Play Innevada that the Spring Online Championships have gotten off to a robust start and that record numbers of players from Nevada and New Jersey continue to participate on WSOP.com.
Quarantined poker players are flocking to the website in large numbers. The tournaments are experiencing more participation than anticipated.
