Two months ago, the Bulgarian pro defeated a 5,802-entry field in the $5,000 no-limit hold’em main event for $3.9 million during the international-facing series on GGPoker
Stream the world’s largest collection of live poker tournaments and TV shows like the World Series of Poker (WSOP), Poker After Dark, High Stakes Poker, and more on PokerGO. The latest tweets from @wsop.
But after last week’s announcement of a hybrid main event that will combine the Nevada and New Jersey-facing WSOP.com, the international-facing GGPoker, and a live element taking place at King’s Casino and the Rio, Madanzhiev took to Twitter to voice his displeasure over calling the new event the main event.
So if I won the “51st Annual World Series of Poker Main Event” What will the December one be?
The 52nd
51.1
51 2.0
51 alfa
?
Just wondering #wsoppic.twitter.com/6hhk20pdVZ

WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart helped make Madanzhiev’s point in the press release regarding the event when he said, “There must be a World Champion in 2020.” Stewart’s phrasing indicates that a main event champion hasn’t been crowned this year.
In a follow-up tweet a couple days later, Madanzhiev alluded to the fact that if he was aware that the tournament he played online in the fall wasn’t the main event, he probably wouldn’t have fired multiple bullets in the tournament.
It would have cost him seven-figures in earnings, but the point still stands.
Looking back, If I had known I wasn’t playing the “actual” world series of poker, I probably wouldn’t have reentered. Or maybe even played. It worked well for me but I wonder how many others fell for this false advertising trap? #wsop#scam

It sparked a discussion on social media among many high-profile members of the poker community, with most players echoing a similar sentiment.
'There must be a World Champion in 2020,” said Ty Stewart

Remember all that fuss about the 5k WSOP Main Event having like 40 starting days or something, nobody would’ve cared about that if they thought that it wasn’t the actual 2020 WSOP Main Event lmfao

Is it true the @WSOP branded a main event as the 'main event' this summer and some poor kid won it and now they are saying he isn't the 2020 Main Event Champ?
…not making any accusations. only asking a question.
— Matt Glantz (@MattGlantz) November 15, 2020
For me, if whoever won the online ‘Main Event’ in the summer isn’t reigning @WSOP champion, then whoever wins this freakish hybrid in December won’t be either. https://t.co/qODloqJyNd

Didn’t we already have an online WSOP Main Event?
What happens if someone wins the GG event and can’t get into the USA?
I don’t hate the overall idea (if we weren’t in a pandemic) but this isn’t the “Main Event” – should be called something like Pandemic Poker Event 2020. https://t.co/lldCpoghEo

One of the few people to defend the idea was six-time WSOP bracelet winner and GGPoker Ambassador Daniel Negreanu. Ironically, Negreanu’s signature was at the bottom of the letter congratulating Madanzhiev on his victory.
Negreanu’s main argument was that the WSOP main event should always be a $10,000 buy-in freezeout. The GGPoker event was a $5,000 buy-in with unlimited re-entries.
A key difference from the summer series $25 million GTD $5k event is this is a $10k FREEZEOUT no re-entry
Also the final 9 on https://t.co/tOa6L4yo0q and https://t.co/KbqGE6HJxR will each play down to a winner live,with those 2 facing off for an extra milly https://t.co/EGpvAEGzJp

When confronted by Madanzhiev about his take, Negreanu pointed to the 2019 WSOP Player of the Year race when he was crowned the champion and then had that title taken away.
Also remember I have experience with this personally! I was crowned the 2019 WSOPPOY!
Then later had that taken away because of a point miscalculation.
Just saying, I feel your pain with this one.

Some of the funnier takes on Twitter stemmed from the rule about what would happen if player contracted COVID-19 before the live final table. Unlike traditional rules for medical emergencies, where a player’s stack is simply blinded out of the tournament, under the current rules, if a player contracts the virus before the live final table, they would be disqualified and given a ninth-place payout.
Rounders 2:
He's down on his luck but Mike McD is one of the 5 guys who FT each year
He puts his last 10k in WSOP ME- FTs 1st/9. Knish talks sense into him and he sells 85% at ICM to Teddy KGB. Worm doesn't quarantine and gives him covid. Drives truck 35 years to pay off Teddy https://t.co/R8ucDBBuUR

Our very own Jesse Fullen will provide commentary on the PokerNews Twitch channel, and he’ll be joined by special guest Christopher Bryan Moneymaker (bet you didn’t know that was his middle name)!
PokerNews coverage, which is sponsored by Live Game Night Poker, will begin just after late registration has closed – approximately 7 p.m. PST – and continue down to a winner. Moneymaker, the 2003 WSOP Main Event champ, will join for a portion of the broadcast and interact with fans in the Twitch chat. If you’ve ever wanted to ask the Poker Hall of Famer a question, now is your chance.
The WSOP Winter Online Super Circuit started on January 14th with a schedule offering 18 Ring Events to players in Nevada and New Jersey. The plan was announced to host an online Circuit Series each month in 2021 with an expectation that they will each mimic this first series taking place currently. While PokerNews is not live reporting this Circuit Series, we are covering a handful of their events on our recently updated Twitch Channel.
A few players are already registered for the tournament including Krista “Pollux” Gifford, Alex “Shadowfiend1” Condon, Richard “flushingkid” Kwon, and Katie “azulciel” Stone, who last night topped a 528-entry field to win Event #12: $50,000 NLH Deep Stack Turbo for $18,057.60.
