While the other players on this list all hail from the US, Owen is the lone non-American represented here. Method of Qualification: Harvey's Lake Tahoe Casino Champion Altman's been very successful online recently. Never afraid to play huge pots early, his highly volatile playing style means he'll likely mark himself as one of the final table favorites early by collecting a big stack, or he'll be on his way to whatever second-chance events are available on the client. Given Altman's overall record of excellence both on the Circuit - he has $284K in cashes there - and on, he has to be considered one of the strongest players in the field come Sunday. He then cashed five more times in the Season Finale series, highlighted by a fourth-place finish for $13K. While that sort of tournament may require more than the usual positive variance to win, Altman followed up shortly after with a fourth-place finish in Event #16: $525 No-Limit Hold'em MAIN EVENT for $34,020. It was his second piece of WSOP gold after he took down a Circuit Main Event back in 2016. He showed off his prowess in the spring as he stormed out of the gates during the Online Super Circuit in March with a ring win worth $32,781 in Event #3: $215 No-Limit Hold'em Deep Turbo. Playing under the moniker 'JackBogle,' Altman seems to rack up five-figure score after five-figure score as a regular in the higher-stakes tournament events every weekend.

Method of Qualification: At-Large Points (16th)įew players have had the success to match Altman on the US-regulated sites. PokerNews has chosen to highlight five players to keep an eye on when the virtual chips start flying on Sunday. Particularly in 2020, those who have proven they have a strong grasp of the online events on have marked themselves as among the favorites. Some qualified via winning WSOPC Main Events or Casino Champion honors, some qualified by making the top 50 of the points leaderboard, and in 2020, others qualified by simply winning a ring in the Season Finale.Įven among that accomplished group, some stand out as players to watch. It typically brings together all of the Circuit's finest competitors under one roof for a great shot at a $1 million prize pool in a short field of 120 to 140 runners. The online edition of the GCC is the first in the relatively short history of the WSOP Circuit's season-ending event.

Depending on whether the situation with COVID-19 clears up, it may be the final bracelet awarded in 2020. This weekend, the World Series of Poker Global Casino Championship will take place on.
