More results continue to be posted from the 2024 WSOP Online International bracelet series on GGPoker. Besides the festival's Online Championship and $25K Super High Roller events, where the final tables were streamed online for poker fans to watch, several other events have also been decided as the series rolls into its final days.

Huang outlasted the rest of the field, which was capped at 128 entrants and sold out well before play began, offering a $1,241,000 prize pool. The final 16 contestants cashed after winning their first three matches to reach that point.
