She accomplished this feat in the online edition of the series and has now secured her first WSOP gold bracelet in the online edition of the WSOP series. It all took place in event number 12, which was the NLH Fall Crazy 8s with a buy-in of $888.

In total, the tournament brought in 468 entries and they were all players from New Jersey, Nevada or Michigan, as only players from those states can play online for a WSOP bracelet.

The prizepool was worth $374,400 and there was $68,478 waiting for the winner. Maria Konnikova, who played under the nickname "vesper1ynd", was the tournament winner. Maria also secured her first WSOP gold bracelet after her first gold ring.
