The 2020 World Series of Poker Online continued at WSOP.com and they awarded out bracelets to players who previously won one. Both Kevin Gerhart and Tony Dunst became second-time winners. Gerhart, playing under 'therealkg', outlasted a field of 1,137 runners to win WSOP Online Event #20 $500 PLO 6-Max for a score worth $97,571. Over in WSOP Online Event #21 $777 NL 6-Handed, WPT's Tony 'Panoramic' Dunst outlasted 1,361 entrants to win $168,342 and his second career bracelet.
Two more events, two more bracelet winners, and two more second-time winners. The week at the 2020 WSOP Online over at WSOP.com, the action kicked off with a pair of 6-handed events for you shorthanded gurus in both PLO and NL. When the dust settled on Monday late evening, Kevin 'therealkg' Gerhart emerged as the victory with his second piece of bling. Make that back-to-back summers with bling for Gerhart, who shipped a Razz event last summer at the Rio.
Oh, and that dapper, well-dressed, stunning Wisconsin poker pro turned commentator once known as Bond18 shipped another piece of bling. Yes, Tony Dunst won a bracelet. You might remember him playing cash games at the Crown Casino in Melbourne over 10+ years ago, or you might recall him as Bond18 online at the virtual table. In the last decade or so, Dunst emerged as a valuable part of the World Poker Tour squad.
And now... thanks to WSOP.com, Dunst is a two-time bracelet winner. Dunst shipped his first piece of hardware back at the 2016 WSOP. Last summer, he narrowly missed the winner's circle with a runner-up finish in a 5K event at the tail end of the 2019 WSOP.
Over in WSOP Online Event #20 $500 PLO 6-Max, the short-handed event attracted 627 original runners. They fired away at 510 additional re-entries for a total tally of 1,137 entrants. The prize pool topped $511K.

Kevin 'therealkg' Gerhart picked off Cody 'Duckmoney420' Brinn for the title, cash, and his second-career bracelet. Kudos to Gerhart for winning bling in back-to-back years. And he dd it in a totally different event (Razz and PLO) too.
