Upeshka De Silva has reportedly been disqualified from the 2020 WSOP Main Event following a positive COVID-19 test, just hours before the final table was due to get underway.
The story broke late Sunday night, after two-time Global Poker Award winner Joey Ingram tweeted that De Silva had tested positive and had therefore been disqualified.
According to WSOP rules, any player who tests positive for COVID-19 prior to the start of the final table play will be disqualified and receive the minimum final table payout.
