On Wednesday night, the 2020 WSOP Online Event #8: $500 No-Limit Hold'em Freezeout attracted a whopping 1,479 players to generate a $665,550 prize pool.
After eleven and a half hours of play, it was Alan "GladiusIII" Goehring emerging victorious to capture his first bracelet and $119,399.67 first-place prize.
Goehring is no stranger to the poker world as he has a long list of accomplishments dating back to 1997 in which he has accumulated $5,346,961 in career earnings.
His two largest cashes came after winning two World Poker Tour titles (2003 $25,000 WPT Championship for $1,011,886 and the $10,000 2006 LAPC Championship Event for $2,391,550) but for Goehring, this may be the most important win of his career, as his last closest opportunity at WSOP gold came in 1999 when he was runner-up to Noel Furlong in the WSOP Main Event.
