Top 10 Countries Performing at WSOP

Out of the 65 tournaments on the schedule for the 2014 World Series of Poker, only 20 have been completed thus far.

Since the Series takes place in Las Vegas, it’s no surprise that the United States leads in every category of winnings so far. US players have won 18 of the 20 bracelets awarded, and Germany and Belgium each have one.

Let’s look at the countries by earnings thus far to see which countries are chasing the US:

1.  United States  ($35,327,555)

2.  Canada  ($1,483,099)

3.  United Kingdom  ($1,160,148)

4.  Belgium  ($660,793)

5.  Germany  ($636,546)

6.  Russia  ($340,216)

7.  Bosnia  ($250,299)
