The World Series of Poker has posted official results for the first eight of 12 events in the May Online Circuit Series for the combined Michigan/Nevada/New Jersey platform, the first online Circuit series to include Michigan's players as part of the WSOP's current three-state network.
Among the latest WSOP Circuit ring winners is Andrew Neeme, the well-known vlogger, MUG host, co-owner of the Lodge. Neeme topped a 1,494-entry field to take down the most affordable event in the series, Event #8, $100 NLH Mystery Bounty. Other winners to date in this series include John Petro, who earned his fifth Circuit ring, two-time bracelet winner Tanner Bibat, and another bracelet winner, Stanislav Barshak.
The series was delayed for a couple of weeks as the final testing approvals for Michigan to join with the other two states were wrapped up, so much that the 'May' part of the series, as it's known in the WSOP's online results database, is something of a misnomer. The delayed 'May' series ran from May 30 to June 11, 2024, and the WSOP's June Circuit series for the same MI/NV/NJ platform picked up immediately from where the May series ended, with June's Circuit opening event starting and running to completion yesterday.
